Through Fujiyuki's softly screamed vocals, gently echoing into madness, and 821's bass, which reaches for the innermost depths of the human heart, Sarry's music named "Ethereal drone" - at times incantational, at times narrative - explores the occult realm of sound that connects this world to the next.

Taking elements from various genres such as dark ambient, drone, Buddhist ritual music, krautrock, hardcore and noise, and blending them into an original style of performance using only bass and vocals, Sarry stands out even in Osaka's underground scene - the most unorthodox in all of Japan - and has received praise from musicians at the forefront of the Japanese underground,

About the music of Sarry:
"Pursuing sound which connects this world to the next" is Sarry's musical concept. It is sensuous music which evokes memories of humans' fundamental ancient connection.
All of the world's music possesses this connection, and we are just trying to emphasize it as the essence of music. Sarry's music uniquely incorporates non-musical elements, focused on the harmonic content such as ambient, drone, and noise. The singing, like non-verbal chanting, is often repetitive, but with different expressions inspired by landscape, religious art and the buddhist view of the world -- like a bridge for us between reality and the surreal.
