Goose House: The Communal Harmony of Japanese Music
Japanese acoustic-pop band formed through Sony Music's internet project, renowned for collaborative cover performances and original anime theme songs.
Goose house emerged in 2011 from Sony Music Japan's 'Play You. House' talent incubator. Members lived communally while producing weekly YouTube covers and original music. Their breakout came with 'Hikaru Nara' for 'Your Lie in April' (2014), establishing them as anime soundtrack contributors. After eight years, they disbanded in 2019.
- Members cohabited in a shared Tokyo residence dubbed 'Goose House,' documenting daily life and music-making in vlogs.
- The band operated with rotating members; over 20 artists participated during their active years, including later soloists like wacci's Shota Shimizu.
- Disbandment stemmed from members' diverging creative goals, announced via emotional final livestream in December 2019.
- Their viral cover of 'Pretender' (2019) with intricate vocal layering remains among their most viewed YouTube videos at 35M+ views.
