Billboard Japan profiles Sasane, an 18-year-old Japanese artist whose TikTok covers and debut single have quickly made her a rising pop figure. The interview highlights how her early dance experience, interest in visual design and enjoyment of audience interaction shape both her music and online identity.

Since March 2025, Sasane has posted acoustic guitar covers on TikTok, using magazine-cutout collages as distinctive video backgrounds. Her April debut, “mosi mosi?”, reportedly surpassed 3 billion TikTok plays and topped Billboard Japan’s JAPAN Heatseekers Songs chart on 10 June; a second single, “otukare”, followed in July. She says feedback from viewers helps sustain her interest and creativity.
