Yui Neats is an independent Japanese artist known for her immersive musical expressions that blend sound, poetry, and space into emotionally resonant experiences. Also previously active under the alias “Neat’s,” her work balances sonic aesthetics with visual storytelling, evolving beyond traditional songwriting into a form of spatial art.

Since 2024, she has pioneered a unique live format called the “Wireless Headphone Live”—where audiences freely move through gallery-like installations, listening to music in complete intimacy and isolation via wireless headphones. These performances transform abandoned warehouses or white cube spaces into ephemeral, living sculptures of light and sound.

At the core of her current artistic practice is “Neatsphonic”: a self-invented vocal language that bypasses conventional meaning. It is not based on words, but on emotional impulse, intuition, and pure sound—a poetic, untamed language designed to be felt rather than understood. The name itself reflects both her identity and an ongoing search for order and beauty in the undefined, much like the NASA program NEAT (Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking), which inspired her artist name.

In 2025, to mark her 40th year, Yui Neats will present her first solo international performance in Denmark—fusing Japanese minimalism with Nordic sensibilities, and inviting audiences into a shared space of voice, silence, and nonverbal resonance.

Note: Yui Neats debuted in 2003 as part of the female duo “RYTHEM,” known for multiple anime and television theme songs. While her current work follows a more conceptual and immersive path, her background as a major-label artist adds both depth and versatility to her creative foundation.
