Sabi

A young woman takes a selfie, wearing a white t-shirt with a graphic print and the text 'I wanna'. She is making a peace sign with her hand and is smiling at the camera.

Sabi is an aspiring artist with a fierce passion for the world of idolsโ€”especially Japanese boy idols. Growing up as an idol otaku, she spent most of her time following her favorite boy idol groups, particularly Aใ‡! group, a Kansai-based group that blends edgy, energetic performances with sparkly idol charm, as well as Travis Japan.

Her fandom obsession wasnโ€™t just about watching performances, thoughโ€”it was about diving deep into every aspect of their world. Sheโ€™s immersed herself in every concert, watched every live stream, and spent hours perfecting her own oshi-katsu activities and goods inspired by her favorite idols.

Sheโ€™s here to bring the same high-octane performance and passion she admires in her idols with her own twist, with her trademark blend of loud energy and raw ambition.

Her dream is to inspire others just as her idols inspired her, while also embracing her own personal growth. Sabiโ€™s journey isnโ€™t just about entertaining her fansโ€”it’s about proving to herself that she can rise to the top, all while having fun and staying true to her roots.

Kรถrsbรคrblommans Dag / Cherry Blossom Day / ๆกœใพใคใ‚Š 2026

On April 26, 2026, Sabi will take part in this yearโ€™s programโ€”marking her first public performance outside of the Swedish-Japanese Performers Associationโ€™s own open stages and convention appearances.

Held during cherry blossom season, the event has become a recurring meeting point for Japanese culture and local audiences in Stockholm. Performances here are shaped as much by the setting as by the artists themselves, with the atmosphere of the park and the seasonal timing playing a central role.

For this appearance, Sabi will perform โ€œPROOFโ€ in a special arrangement alongside guitarist Filip. Presented in a more live format than just a backing track, the performance will enhances the themes of persistence and moving forwardโ€”ideas that align naturally with the timing of the Cherry Blossom Day as a seasonal marker of transition and renewal.

Visitors attending Kungstrรคdgรฅrden on April 26 will encounter a program where performance and setting are closely linked, as the event once again activates one of Stockholmโ€™s most recognizable seasonal spaces. ๐ŸŒธ

2025.04.15

็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚‰ใชใ„ใƒ•ใ‚งใƒผใ‚บ (A Never-ending Phase) is a heartfelt tribute to the moment everything changedโ€”a journey that began with a single livestream in 2019 and turned into a deep, unwavering connection.

Written as a love letter to Genta Matsuda of Travis Japan, the song captures the joy, laughter, denial, realization, and overwhelming gratitude that come with supporting someone who unknowingly becomes your light.

From the spark of curiosity to a six-year devotion, โ€œ็ต‚ใ‚ใ‚‰ใชใ„ใƒ•ใ‚งใƒผใ‚บโ€ reflects how even the smallest moments can shape our lives forever. This is more than just a songโ€”it’s a celebration of love, fandom, and the comfort of someone who simply exists and shines.

Stay My Light

2025.05.13

There are moments in life that change youโ€”not loudly, but deeply. For me, one of those moments was seeing Rinne Sugeta on stage.

โ€œStay My Lightโ€ is a letter, a memory, a quiet thank you. Itโ€™s about the journey of believing in someone from afar, of holding onto a dream even when it seems out of reach. Itโ€™s about the way a single smile, a single moment, can become a guiding light through everythingโ€”distance, time, change.

This song was written from the heart of a fan who crossed an ocean and found something more than they ever expected. It’s for the quiet vows we make in our hearts. For the handshakes we never forget. For the stages that become sacred. For the voices that reach us and remind us why we keep going.

Even as the scenery shifts, the sky above us stays the same. And under that sky, I still carry the warmth of that day.

To Rinneโ€”thank you for being my light. And to anyone who has ever loved an idol like thisโ€”youโ€™re not alone.

This is for you too.

NO FILTER

2025.08.18

Sometimes the loudest scream is the one that gets silenced first. ใ€ŒใฎFILTERใ€ is a punk-charged battle cry born out of frustration, resistance, and reclaiming power.

It tears through the polished veneer expected of idols, artists, and anyone forced to wear a socially acceptable mask. The title plays on the English pronunciation of “no filter,” twisted with the Japanese particle ใ€Œใฎใ€โ€”a nod to how weโ€™re constantly asked to apply the โ€œrightโ€ filter: the right behavior, the right face, the right version of ourselves.

Especially in performance, but also in life. This song rejects all of that. It turns vulnerability into strength and scars into spotlight. It’s not about being edgy for the sake of itโ€”itโ€™s about being honest when the world keeps asking for pretend.

Whether you’re on a stage, online, or just trying to survive in a world full of expectations, ใ€ŒใฎFILTERใ€ says this: You don’t owe anyone perfection. And you never needed a filter to shine.

PROOF

Go, with PRIDE.

โ€œPRIDEโ€ is Ae! groupโ€™s declaration โ€” their determination to keep chasing their dreams, to stand tall as themselves, no matter the struggles and setbacks along the way. Itโ€™s a song that carries their resolve, their passion, and the weight of everything theyโ€™ve faced to get here.

โ€œPROOFโ€ is my answer to that.
Itโ€™s a song born from pride โ€” our pride โ€” for everything Ae! group has become, and everything they continue to be. Itโ€™s also a song of gratitude, for the light theyโ€™ve given us through their journey, and of resolve, to keep walking alongside them as they chase even bigger dreams.

Every lyric carries the voice of someone who has watched them fight, stumble, rise, and shine โ€” someone who has been inspired by their unwavering spirit. Itโ€™s a promise: weโ€™ll keep believing, no matter the distance, no matter the unknowns ahead.

Because being here, together, in this moment โ€”
Sharing the same sky, the same beat, the same dream โ€”
Thatโ€™s already proof enough.

for you

2025.10.12

Some promises stay with you.
Even when time passes, even when distance grows, there are words that never stop echoing inside you.

โ€œfor youโ€ is a story told in two songs โ€” two sides of the same light, a dedication to Taisei Fukumoto.

see u again” is the moment of reunion after a long wait โ€” that breathless instant when you realize that even after everything, nothing has changed. The same smile, the same warmth, the same person youโ€™ve always believed in. Itโ€™s the relief of a promise kept, and the quiet pride of having never stopped believing.

“ใŸใ ใฒใจใคใฎๅคช้™ฝ”(The Only Sun) is what comes after โ€” the kind of love that doesnโ€™t need to be spoken to exist. The love that stays even when it canโ€™t be returned. Itโ€™s not about possession or confession, but gratitude โ€” for having met someone who could make the whole world shine just by being there.

Together, these songs trace the shape of a once-in-a-lifetime loveโ€”one that began with a promise, and became a light you carry forward.

Because sometimes, all you can say is thank you.
And sometimes, thatโ€™s what love really means.
