Hiatus and return

[edit]

Her remaining appearances for 2016 and a scheduled performance at Anime Festival Indonesia 2016,[38] Animax Musix 2017 in Osaka in January 2017 were cancelled.[39][40] On October 14, 2016, her management announced that she would put her musical career on indefinite hiatus following a final two concerts at Nippon Budokan on November 4 and 5, 2016.[5]

On February 1, 2018, her website updated with an image of a flashing blue light.[41][42] This was followed by an announcement on February 8 that she would resume her activities with the release of the music video "Yakusoku" (約束, Promise) on YouTube. Her management also announced that she had transferred to the music label Sacra Music.[6][7] It was confirmed on March 7, 2018 that her next release would be the opening theme to anime Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online, titled "Ryūsei" (流星, Meteor).[43] The song "Ryūsei" was released digitally on April 22, 2018,[44] and received a physical release together with the song "Yakusoku" on June 13, 2018 as her fourteenth single.[45] She held a concert at the Nippon Budokan to commemorate the resumption of her activities.[46] Her fifteenth single "Iris" (アイリス) was released on October 24, 2018; the song is used as the first ending theme to the anime series Sword Art Online: Alicization.[47] Her fourth album Fragment was released on April 17, 2019.[48] Her sixteenth single "Tsuki o Ou Mayonaka" (月を追う真夜中, Following the Moon in the Middle of the Night) was released digitally on July 6, 2019, and received a physical release on August 28, 2019;[49] the title song is used as the opening theme to the anime series Granbelm.[50] Her seventeenth single "Hoshi ga Furu Yume" (星が降るユメ, Dream Of a Falling Star) was released digitally on October 19, 2019,[51] and received a physical release on November 27, 2019; the title song is used as the ending theme to the anime series Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia.[52][53] She released her eighteenth single "I will..." digitally on July 20, 2020, and received a physical release on August 12, 2020; the title song is used as the ending theme of television series anime Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld: Part 2 .[54][A] Her nineteenth single "Kodo" was released digitally on April 3, 2021,[51] and received a physical release on June 16, 2021 the title song is used as the 2nd opening theme to the anime series Back Arrow.

In January 2023, Aoi's management announced she would be taking a temporary hiatus for health reasons.[56]

Musical style and influences

[edit]

Aoi's musical style has been influenced by her love of anime, as well as artists such as Evanescence, Slipknot, and Tomiko Van of Do As Infinity.[11][57] She initially did not show her mouth on physical release images, only revealing her full appearance during a Niconico livestream in June 2012.[58] According to her, this was to give her a "mysterious aura" and because she wanted to emphasize her eyes, which she described as "powerful".[12] Speaking to the website J-Pop Go before her London concert in 2015, she explained how she believed she would have never been discovered had it not been for the internet, and how she believes that it can be used as a tool for her to "connect the world" and "make dreams come true".[11]

Aoi's songwriting style is that, when producing a song that would be used in an anime, she would first read the original source material or the anime script, and for songs that would be used in games, she would first play the game or discuss the story with a producer. After this, she would write song lyrics that would take into account the feelings of the characters.[59]

Aoi related the development of her singles "Memoria" and "Innocence" in an interview with Animate Times. She detailed how she always wanted to perform "light-conscious songs" even before she made her major debut, and that the theme of her early songs would be about "letting the light shine through your heart, even when times are difficult". "Memoria" was released at a time when she did not perform live as she still hid part of her face, and taking this into account, she wanted to make a song where emotions could be expressed through her singing as opposed to her mouth. For "Innocence", she wanted to produce a song that could express the growth and experiences that Sword Art Online's main characters Kirito and Asuna were encountering.[12]

For her first album Blau, Aoi wanted to express varying emotions such as "real sadness" or "fun expressions", as opposed to her previous releases, which described as mainly focusing on "singing with strength or sorrow". For example, with the song "Yume no Owari" (夢の終わり, End of Dream), she sang it with a thick voice to "allow her to sound like an adult".[9]

For her single "Accentier", Aoi wanted to produce a song that had a theme of "seeking the light, no matter how dark it gets". The title of the single comes from the word "accent", as she wanted the song to be a song to "cheer people on" and give people "an 'accent' of happiness". Aoi had been a long time fan of the Digimon franchise and was very happy to be chosen to perform a song for it.[59]
