"Kira" is a chorus unit formed by Yasuhiro Kido and Junko Hirotani, who provide their music and chorus work to many artists. They are particular about using Japanese words with beautiful sounds, and try to express a uniquely picturesque Japanese world by using both modern and archaic words.
Their vocals with acoustic sounds can be like a breeze or a murmuring sometimes, reminding us of a nostalgic Japanese scenery.

"Breath by Breath" was formed in January 2001 by five
musicians who had been active as studio musicians or solo singers for a long time.
They try to sing many songs from different genres a cappella and their purpose
is to express all forms of music such as pops, jazz and classic which they have
been affected by, a cappella. Their clear sound is exquisite, so we hope many
people will take a listen to their fantastic voices!
