In the summer of 2000, YURAI was discovered by JEPHTE GUILLAUME and released a 12" disc, "Love Light", which made a splash in the UK as well as the U.S., reaching #2 in the London charts. In Japan, YURAI, a female vocalist who sold out at analog stores on the same day, joined up with IDEE, an up-and-coming track maker in Tokyo, and started activities as a new unit "De La Funke" in 2003. YURAI has performed with top artists at Yellow, Air, ageHa, and other venues, including as a vocalist for Jazztronik, which is rapidly gaining recognition in Tokyo as a young personality in the club sound scene. Meanwhile, IDEE, who is in charge of track production, is a talented up-and-coming artist who has provided music to SMAP, Kinki Kids, and Pani Crew under the name Koji Ide, in addition to his DJ activities at various venues in Tokyo. The danceable songs are mainly based on simple tracks with strong vocals coming straight into the song. YURAI's message is a positive one with a strong assertion: "Enjoy life and live it. A life song and love song based on the value of "enjoy life and live it," but not in an ephemeral or hedonistic way, but to live life well.
