He eventually signed to Toy's Factory in 2019, moving away from Harapeco Records.[1] He was also a guest in "School of Lock!" by Tokyo FM.[2]

His music has been featured as theme music for various anime such as Dororo (Dark Night / 闇夜), Jujutsu Kaisen (kaikaikitan / 廻廻奇譚), Josee, the Tiger and the Fish (Ao No Waltz / 蒼のワルツ), Chainsaw Man (Fight Song / ファイトソング), and My Hero Academia (Bokura no / ぼくらの).

Career

He started his career on Japanese video-sharing service Niconico in October 2009.[3] His first cover was released on Niconico on 1 October 2009, singing "TRAGIC BOY".[4] Kurowa and Keitora were his previous names, before he began to use his current name.

From 2012 to 2013, Eve was the lead vocalist for the indie band Einie, along with Natsushiro Takaaki. Afterward, Eve was a member of "RIOT OF COLOR" in 2014.

Eve did not really see music as a path for him to take until 2016 after the release of Official Number. His first true try at creating an album afterward was named Bunka, which peaked at 14 and 33 on the Oricon Albums Chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100, respectively. His style of music was influenced by pop culture, such as movies.[5]

He created a clothing store named Harapeco Store in 2016 and currently manages, designs, and sells unisex apparel and accessories. Eve also manages a second Store, named Eve Official Store, where he sells different types of merchandise, including clothing and accessories.[6]

He created and published a manga, Kara no Kioku, illustrated by Newo, on 15 April 2020. The manga currently has 26 chapters, and a third volume is being created.[7]

Alongside the manga, Eve is also writing a light novel, named How to Eat Life, of which was announced on 1 August 2022 on Eve's Twitter page. Volume 1 proceeded to release on 22 September 2022.[8] Volume 2 for the light novel was also being worked on at the time.[7]

Volume 2 proceeded to release on January 11th, 2023, with an attached announcement that Volume 1 of the Novel would be proceeding with a reprint. The announcement was made by MF BUNKO J, a novel publishing label, affiliated with Media Factory. [9]

Eve also streams on Twitcasting,[10] which is similar to Twitch in many aspects.
