BIOGRAPHY

EFFECTIVE 12:01 PM is a band project based in Tokyo, led by Kotaro.

While maintaining a sense of popularity, its sound draws influence from a diverse range of genres,

including electronic, acoustic, ambient, chill, classical, contemporary music, and jazz,

weaving a unique and profound sonic world.

Kotaro's vocals are pure and emotionally rich, delicately bringing vibrant colors to the music.

As a multi-talented artist, Kotaro handles songwriting, composition, arrangement, performance, and mixing,

while also overseeing visual elements such as videos and artwork design.

With a rare perspective that refines the characteristics of various eras of Western music and indie sounds,

the project expands progressive music that embodies the artistic sensibilities of a new generation.
