Soundtype [Official]

Soundtype is a borderless piano trio formed in 2023, featuring Yusuke Kono (piano), Yuta Omino (bass) and Makoto Otsu (drums). 
Transcending genres and styles, the trio made their striking debut in April 2024 at the "Parachute Session Playwright Festival." Their self-titled first album, hailed as "Japanese Black Radio" for its fusion of neo-soul, R&B, and improvisational contemporary jazz, was followed by a successful release live at Tokyo's club eX. In February 2025, they drew attention from analog listeners with a 7-inch vinyl release of their cover of Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" featuring KOTETSU (Vo) and Yota Miyazato (Sax). 
Their second album, "Soundtype 2," released in November 2025, led to a highly successful release live at Marunouchi Cotton Club in 2026. Aiming for sounds that resonate beyond musical differences, the real/online divide, and even national borders, Soundtype continues to pioneer new horizons in jazz.
