Juuji Ishiwatari & Yoshinori Sunahara + Etsuko Yakushimaru is a Japanese collaborative artist credit that brings together three distinct figures from contemporary music: Juuji Ishiwatari, Yoshinori Sunahara, and Etsuko Yakushimaru. The project sits at the intersection of composition, production, and vocal performance, with each name contributing a distinct musical role.
Juuji Ishiwatari is known as a songwriter and lyricist, Yoshinori Sunahara for his electronic, production-driven approach, and Etsuko Yakushimaru for expressive singing and songwriting. Yakushimaru, whose real name is やくしまるえつこ, was born on June 3, 1987, in Japan, and her work is associated with art pop, indie pop, and indietronica. Taken together, the credit connects experimental pop, electronic textures, and carefully crafted melodies while remaining rooted in a collaborative rather than solo identity.
For listeners searching for Juuji, this page points to a shared project instead of a single artist profile. That makes the name especially relevant in Japanese music databases, where collective credits and one-off team-ups can be just as important as long-running groups. Its significance comes from the combination of creative voices more than from a fixed discography.
