Kapanlagi.com - Ai Otsuka officially takes on a new role in her career as a music producer. The Japanese singer and songwriter will produce Pasmal, a new duo consisting of two high school girls named Natsu and Yun.

Pasmal has begun to gain public attention through their TikTok account using the name "Takada to Takahashi." Since November 2025, the two have regularly uploaded videos about their lives in Tokyo and their journey towards debuting as artists, slowly attracting the attention of netizens.

In March, Pasmal announced that they had successfully passed auditions and would be produced by a major artist. Now that identity has finally been revealed, with Ai Otsuka directly handling the music debut of the duo. So what has been Pasmal's journey until they were produced by Ai Otsuka?

1. Pasmal Started From TikTok and Auditions

Pasmal consists of Natsu from Miyazaki and Yun from Okinawa. They first met through an audition before they started creating content together on TikTok.

Under the account name "Takada to Takahashi", they regularly share videos of their daily lives in Tokyo and stories about their journey to debut as artists. Their relaxed and natural style has gradually started to attract the attention of many social media users.

Their popularity increased even more after they announced last March that they had passed a major audition and would be produced by a famous artist.

2. Ai Otsuka Takes on a New Role as Producer

Ai Otsuka revealed that this is the first time she is truly involved as a music producer. She admitted that she has wanted to try this role for a long time, but only now feels ready to undertake it.

Ai also mentioned that she has felt nervous several times due to the great responsibility of being a producer. According to her, guiding new artists is very different from just making songs for herself.

Despite that, Ai hopes she can help highlight the clear vocals and natural charm that Pasmal has had from the beginning.

3. Pasmal Prepares Debut Song "Smilen"

Pasmal is scheduled to release their debut song titled "Smilen" on June 6. The song was written and composed directly by Ai Otsuka.

Not only that, the duo has also prepared a second single titled "BULL" which is scheduled for release in July. This indicates that Pasmal's debut project has indeed been prepared quite seriously.

With Ai Otsuka's support as a producer, many fans are starting to wonder what kind of music and concept the high school duo will bring to the J-pop industry.
