STAR LYTE
Cyber Artist
Hey hey! I’m Starlyte, aka Hanako Hoshino, a 25-year-old J-pop idol from Shibuya, Tokyo. My music blends J-pop with old-school hip-hop, inspired by legends like Namie Amuro and Missy Elliott. My debut album, I’m Not Your Sidekick, made waves, and my upcoming album, Red Queen, showcases my evolution as a cyber artist.
I’m super close with my sister Rumiko and bestie Yumi Tsukino—her producer brother Kai? Yeah, there’s a spark. 😏 I love mixing Harajuku streetwear with hip-hop style and split my time between Tokyo and NYC. I’m all about pushing boundaries, fusing human creativity with AI tech to take my sound and vision to new heights. Let’s keep shining!
