From a young age, Japanese artist Haru Nemuri has been obsessed with translating the sounds inher head into music, but it wasn’t until after being unexpectedly inspired during a high-school trip thatshe began actually trying.
Haru and a friend had been told by their chaperone to go to sleep and not turn the TV on in their hotel room. Instead, they did exactly that and found themselves mesmerized by a Japanese band called Creep Hyp playing on a music TV show. On the spot, they began discussing starting a band of their own. “My friend decided to play the guitar and be the vocalist, and I decided to play the synth,” she says. “We needed a drummer and bassist, and we took our time looking, but we couldn’t find anyone. So, I had to try something else.
Eventually, Haru appropriated her family’s laptop to begin experimenting with beats and songwriting via the software program Sonar. It was the only computer in the house, and her parents needed to use it regularly, so Haru squirreled it away at odd hours as she began to craft her unique sound and style. As she recalls, “I hadn't started singing yet back then, but it's funny to think that my parents probably did find a lot of unknown sound files on the computer and wondered, what is this? What is going on?"
Indeed, not many teenagers are inspired equally by American post hardcore icons such as Fugazi and Japanese avant-garde music legend Susumu Hirasawa, but therein lies the magic of Haru Nemuri and the work she has created over the past five years.
Haru has always made music for herself first, but now the world is listening—even if they can’t understand a word of the Japanese language in which she sings, raps and frequently screams. Haru has built a dedicated following thanks to extensive touring in Japan and other parts of Asia, and sold out numerous shows in Europe on her first trip there in 2019, which included a performance at the legendary Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. “In any region of the world, there are some things people can’t express in words, and sometimes even after writing lyrics, there are other feelings that I have left in me,” she says. “That’s when it’s time to shout. If people feel connected and supported by that, I’m really happy about it.”
On her 2018 debut album, “Haru to Shura,” Haru crafted songs with elements of “modern urban innocence, constraints and homogeneity, which therefore created a feel of tension and compactness.” Over time, she says her beats and riffs have developed “a feel of more wideness in natural space” that would have been difficult to produce before. “I am now able to create sounds thatare further closer to the ideal,” she adds. “When I have ideas for songs, I am just an intermediary to help bring them to life. I strive to fulfill that role.
”Now, on the heels of five wildly different singles released over the past few months (“Bang,” “Inori Dake Ga Are,” “Seventh Heaven”, “Old Fashioned” and “Déconstruction”) and a recent live session on KEXP, Haru is about to begin her first tour of North America, where interest in her music has reached new heights in the past two years. The new songs offer a fascinating glimpse into where Haru’s music is headed and presage the hopeful 2022 release of a new full-length album. “Bang” and “Old Fashioned” splice Haru’s rapped vocals atop heavy, distorted guitar riffs, while the vocal layering on “In ori Dake Ga Are” gradually becomes more and more disorienting, until Haru is shouting at the top of her lungs and the guitars reach a deafening volume.
