New Featured Artist: Jun Kuroda

by pishifat

We're proud to welcome Jun Kuroda to the Featured Artist roster!

Combining jazz, electro, and rock together to form his own unparalleled body of work, Jun Kuroda is a Japanese producer whose music penetrates the borders of genre. Most may recognize him for his rhythm-game-esque sound found throughout pop'n music and SOUND VOLTEX arcade cabinets, yet his contributions are also noteworthy elsewhere, such as his composition on VTuber music through USAGI Production.

Given the choice of 20 new tracks available from Jun Kuroda's Featured Artist listing, including stellar performances from familiar vocalists like Aitsuki Nakuru, Oshima Haruna, and setsunann, we're more than confident that you'll find something to your liking.

On the mapping front, we decided to feature not one, but ten mappers through a silly blind-collaborative map for Jun Kuroda - Anokumene. The map is undoubtedly a mess, but it'll give you a taste of what can be done with these songs!

And of course, here's a couple more maps:

Ultimate Fate

Or this osu!mania set by Kawawa

Looking for more mapping options? Check out Jun Kuroda's Featured Artist listing for pre-timed templates of all your favourites (yes, they're your favourites even if you haven't heard them yet).

Curious about what else is coming soon? The @osugame Twitter has you covered. Keep an eye out for more news and another Featured Artist announcement this weekend!

Until then!

Isn’t this the same artist that issued a cease and desist to osu? https://gist.githubusercontent.com/peppy/d1d0cfe5de450e6d8f5df137e935e60c/raw

I actually liked Coquette 🙃

POCARI SWEAT tatatat

they are arcade songs in BEMANI, TnT, etc.. maybe they didn't make it to osu for some reason

Niva tatatat

yeah, similar to what was announced on Morimori Atsushi's FA newspost a few weeks back the artist asked for some of their tracks that are exclusive to other intellectual properties to be removed during the licensing process. you can read more about the case here : http://twitter.com/ppy/status/1306803944308404225

i liked Coquette as well (🙁) but this is the artist's wish and osu! fully respects it in that regard.
