Sayuri[lower-alpha 1] (さユり[lower-alpha 2]?, born June 7, 1996 in Fukuoka) is a Japanese pop singer and songwriter, affiliated with Yamaha Music.

Biography

Sayuri began composing music during her second year of junior high school.[2] In 2012, she was awarded the Grand Prix at the finals of the fifth Music Revolution, a competition sponsored by Yamaha Music.[3] Afterwards, she became active as an indie artist. She adopted the name Sanketsu Shōjo Sayuri (酸欠少女さユり?, lit. "Hypoxia Girl Sayuri") which is symbolic of her calling herself a 2.5-dimensional parallel singer-songwriter.

She held her first solo live in March 2015 at Tsutaya O-nest in Tokyo. Later that year, Sayuri made her major debut at 19, performing the ending theme song for Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace.[4]
