Pusu (ぷす), formerly known as Zips (じっぷす), was a producer mostly known for the production of Heisei Project, along with his activities as a Utaite, and was the composer for the musical unit TUYU (ツユ).

He was born as Yano Asaya (矢野麻也) on May 23rd, 1994.[1] He discovered passion for guitar on the first year of high school and practiced 20 hours a day. Later on, he dropped out of high school and moved out to live alone in Osaka at the age of 16.

In 2012, at the age of 18, he began his career as a VOCALOID producer, with the representative work being "Heisei Project".[2] He also began singing some time afterwards.

On December 10, 2015, he announced the change of his name to Pusu, ceasing all activities under the previous alias Zips.[3][4] In the same year, he formed a duet unit named "Miyapusu" along with fellow utaite Miyakawa-kun.

In April 2019, the closing song of Heisei Project, Heisei Sayonara Bye Bye was released.[5] Afterwards, on May 23 of the same year, he released a statement regarding his retirement as a utaite.[6][7]

A month later, on June 12, Pusu formed the new musical unit TUYU, which consists of him as the music composer and guitarist, Rei (礼衣) on the vocal, omutatsu (おむたつ) as the illustrator, AzyuN as the video maker, and miro as the pianist. Additionally, he is also an independent producer who does songwriting, arrangements, etc.

In September 2022, it was announced that Pusu would be commissioned to make a song for the game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku.[8]

On May 31, 2024, Pusu was arrested for the attempted murder of a teenage girl he was dating. The girl was stabbed in the chest with a kitchen knife in the apartment Pusu and she shared. She was rushed to the hospital, and Pusu was subjected to an emergency arrest by law enforcement after he admitted that he "stabbed her once in the left chest with a knife." He also made a comment about the incident: "I wanted to stab her to death and then commit suicide."[9] As a result of his arrest, TUYU disbanded.[10]

On August 31, Pusu revealed that he was not prosecuted for attempted murder and instead had been forcibly hospitalized for over two months. He admitted to having extreme auditory hallucinations and paranoia and how he had been diagnosed with ADHD after a psychiatric evaluation, and that he will continue pursuing music only as a hobby.[11]
