imase ( Japanese : イマセ , born November 9, 2000) [1] is a Japanese singer-songwriter who debuted in 2021 and found success with the 2022 viral single "Night Dancer". [2] His first EP, Pop Cube , was released in 2022 by Universal Music Japan . [3]

He debuted in 2021 with his single "have a nice day" only a year after learning how to write and compose music, according to his signed label Universal Music Japan . His success with "Night Dancer" only a year later has given him the "monster rookie" nickname. [2]

Junji Ishiwatari , a former member of alternative rock band Supercar called Imase's sudden rise to stardom "a true event that is stranger than fiction". Five months after his debut, Imase was hired to sing the Pocari Sweat jingle, which is considered an honor, and he had over 1 billion TikTok views. [4]

He became a topic of interest on South Korean blogging forums after his song "Night Dancer" entered the Melon 100 chart, the first ever Japanese song and Japanese singer to achieve this feat. [5]

In 2023, Imase produced the songs "Jewelry" and "Dresscode" for the K-pop group Le Sserafim . [6] [7]
