Marukome-kun's Artist Activities "DJ MARUKOME" Launches "Readable Spice Curry"
DJ MARUKOME began artistic activities in 2016 as the mascot character "Marukome-kun" for miso manufacturer Marukome, aiming to spread miso and fermentation worldwide. He subsequently made his official debut through LINE RECORDS. Moving forward, he plans to more actively pursue collaborative projects with famous musicians and initiatives linked to his music.
This collaboration was prompted by the 10th anniversary of the "Curry Bookshelf" section in Ace's flagship store, "Kitano Ace." The section displays curry products by arranging shelves like bookcases, showcasing the spines of curry packages—a unique approach that has drawn attention.
The product features "soy meat" and Marukome's signature miso as a secret ingredient. It also includes written content by artists, authors, and manga artists, realizing the concept of "readable curry."
The first release, available the same day, includes "Fermenting Instruments" by Yuzan, an active tabla player. Future releases will continue this fusion of music and fermentation, with the second installment featuring short-short story writer Masato Tamaru and the third featuring manga artist Yu Toyoda.
Furthermore, scanning the QR code on the package grants access to "Songs to Listen to While Eating Curry By DJ MARUKOME" on LINE MUSIC, making it a "curry you can listen to."
