One of the most exciting emerging J-rock artists working today is Avu Barazono (or Avu-chan), the lead singer, composer and lyricist of Queen Bee (Ziyoou-Vachi). Avu-chan is of African-American and Japanese descent. She’s also one of the few openly transgender Japanese artists, which makes her a real trailblazer in the country’s music industry. With her unique charisma, growing discography and catalog of music that’s featured in Dororo, Tokyo Ghoul :re, Devilman Crybaby and most recently, Oshi no Ko, she’s definitely someone to keep an eye on.Avu-chan does most of her work in Queen Bee, an eccentric band who aptly described themselves as “fashion punk.” The group brings an interesting blend of sounds to J-rock, mixing punk, kayokyoku (a subgenre of Japanese pop) and even disco. Avu-chan, who has often spoken about embracing both the feminine and masculine aspects of her identity, showcased a diverse gender presentation in her vocals. She’s able to switch between deep guttural sounds and an impressive falsetto at the drop of a hat. This was just one of Avu-chan’s many impressive talents.Queen Bee was formed in 2009. The band was originally comprised of Avu-chan and some classmates. They quickly attracted professional attention and built up their reputation by performing in school festivals, live houses, and small venues. After some reshuffling of members, it currently consists of Avu-chan, Yashi Akitorii (Yashi-chan) and Hibari-kun. Their previous members include Yuki-chan, Gigi-chan, and Ruri-chan, who was reported to be Avu-chan’s real-life sister. They parted ways amiably and on their own terms. All the members’ names are pseudonyms, and their personal details are largely unknown.
