1) Akiakane (秋赤音) is an utaite known for her rough tone and love to scream in songs. Her most popular cover is of Rolling Girl, which has over two million views on NND. She is also popular as an illustrator, as she made the PVs for the songs "Rosetta", "Out of Eden", and "Migikata no Chou". Occasionally, she makes her own PVs for her covers, for instance "Rolling Girl". Akiakane also illustrates all her album covers. Akiakane is currently signed under the company, "TOY'S FACTORY". 2) Akiakane are an all-girl punk band from Chiba, Japan signed to Asian Man Records. While their music addresses their own domestic concerns, Akiakane also began to raise awareness of the growing tension between Taiwan and China. Their support for an independent Taiwan from China began several years ago, when former band Softball was invited to perform at the annual Say Yes To Taiwan festival, a series devoted to the independence of Taiwan. In February, with the support of record label Einstein Records, the Say Yes To Taiwan concert series saw its first overseas show in Tokyo. With over 50 Japanese bands declining to perform in fear of political pressure from China, they realized that conservative thinking is not only caused by politicians or the media, but also a lack of participation from common people.
