Japanese artists YOASOBI & Koji Tamaki react to their unexpected trending after BTS's V mentions them

Japanese music duo YOASOBI and veteran Japanese singer-songwriter Koji Tamaki found themselves unexpectedly trending after BTS V's recent social media updates.

On February 20 KST, Kim Taehyung hopped onto Weverse to have a little chat with his fans and answer a few questions. 

When asked if he knew YOASOBI, Taehyung shared that he listens to them. 


YOASOBI
 is a famous Japanese music duo, composed of Vocaloid producer and songwriter Ayase, and singer-songwriter Lilas Ikuta, performing under the stage name Ikura. The duo uses the slogan "novel into music'" to represent themselves.

The Japanese duo was surprised to learn they were a hot topic on Twitter and found out it was because Taehyung had mentioned that he listens to them. 


Ayase, the songwriter of the duo, affectionately referred to Taehyung as 'Tete'  to express gratitude to him for being a fan of the duo. Ikura, the singer-songwriter of the duo, also shared her excitement on her Instagram.

Taehyung also brought up Tamaki Kouji in response to a fan query about his current favorite Japanese artist. 


Koji Tamaki
is a Japanese singer-songwriter and actor. He has been well known as the frontman of the rock band Anzen Chitai. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Japanese vocalists and has received much critical acclaim.

Taehyung's post made Koji Tamaki quickly trend to #1 on Yahoo Japan and on Twitter. His band's official account thanked Taehyung for the acknowledgment. 


Taehyung ended his update by expressing his desire to visit Japan, and fans couldn't be happier. As the most popular K-pop idol in Japan, Taehyung's return to the country is highly anticipated.
