MILLENNIUM PARADE

MILLENNIUM PARADE

MILLENNIUM PARADE is a crew of creatives led by Daiki Tsuneta (King Gnu), merging music, video, digital art and more to make dazzling works capturing the chaotic clash of cultures in modern Tokyo. Started in 2019, the collective brings in different artists from multiple disciplines to create audio and visual experiments.
The next era of MILLENNIUM PARADE finds Tsuneta and company building an even more immersive artistic world.

Saya Gray

Saya Gray

Japanese-Canadian artist Saya Gray has a unique ability to create a collage of sounds that feel both comforting and disorienting, vast yet intimate. Her first releases, 2022’s ‘19MASTERS’ , 2023’s ‘QWERTY I’ and 2024’s 'QWERTY II' were made in periods of intense isolation, and as Saya herself describes it, she puts ‘1000 personalities in one song’. It’s this unfiltered, frenzied approach to her art that she feels is necessary to reclaim her sense of self in an ever changing world - and in the process marking her as one of the most exciting, up and coming musicians operating today. 2025 was a landmark year for Saya as she released her debut album ’SAYA” - by far her most personal and intimate project to date.

Daniel Caesar

Daniel Caesar

Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Daniel Caesar has established himself as one of the defining voices of contemporary R&B. Blending contemporary soul, alternative, folk-pop, and genre-defying songwriting, his work is rooted in a commitment to artistic honesty.
His 2023 album NEVER ENOUGH became the highest-charting release of his career, debuting at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and within the Top 15 of the Billboard 200. The album also marked the biggest sales debut by a male R&B artist in 2023. Later that year, Caesar performed his first-ever headline shows in Japan.
In 2025, he released Son Of Spergy, his most personal and introspective project to date. Inspired by reconciliation with his father and named after his father’s nickname, the album explores identity, family, and self-reflection. The release earned Caesar his first No. 1 album on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, marking his first career Top 10 entry. Reflecting on the project, Caesar explains, “I have a lot of respect for my dad and I hold him in high regard. The album is about me realizing that I am exactly like him.”
