Since relocating to Germany in 2017, he has explored themes of “self-establishment and relationships with others,” developing experimental works using visual scores. His practice seeks to reconstruct bodily expression through the intersection of diverse media. Sugawara has presented works across Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, as well as in Japan, earning critical acclaim for their innovative approach.

Currently, guitarist Ryusui (Berlin) and drummer Nakamura (Japan) continue to expand their activities across their respective bases.

Scenographer based in Tokyo and Gunma. She studied architecture at university and later engaged in scenography research and internships in Germany.
