Pilaf Alien (ピラフ星人) is a Japanese solo artist born on October 2, 2003. In 2026, he made his major debut with “Shalala,” the ending theme for the second season of the anime Yozakura-san Chi no Daisakusen. The song’s music video was released on May 25, 2026, and the CD edition was announced for June 17, 2026 with live footage from his Budokan performance and bonus content. For anime music listeners, that release became the clearest entry point to his work.
Before focusing on music, he had worked as a golf instructor, and that background has also been highlighted in recent coverage of his off-stage life. He also appeared on the YouTube channel OFF TAKE in June 2026 and was announced for KANOA MEGA BROCK FES 2026, reflecting the wider attention around his career during the same period. With a young Japanese background, a recent major-debut single, and a direct tie to a current TV anime ending theme, Pilaf Alien has become a notable name for listeners following new anime songs.
