DY3-thx12-4432  is a virtual rock band whose members operate remotely in Japan and Italy.

Formed in 2021 by Davide Perico （Milan, Italy) and Yoshimitsu4432 (Tokyo, Japan, born in Hyogo Prefecture).

Abbreviated as DY3.

History
An Italian keyboardist, composer, and producer named Davide and a Japanese rock guitarist and solo artist named Yoshimitsu are actively engaged in self-producing all music, video works, artwork, etc. by exchanging data remotely, despite the approximately 10,000 kilometer distance between them.

In September 2020, when musicians around the world were reducing their activities due to the COVID pandemic, Davide, who was writing reviews on an independent music portal site, happened to hear Yoshimitsu's song on the site and was impressed, and communication began online after he made contact. In January 2021, Davide, who was also active as a composer of film music, called out and the two of them produced the opening song for a short film in the United States. They received various awards such as the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Best Film Score-Soundtrack category at the World Film Carnival, Singapore.

In March 2021, the first EP "DY3-thx12-4432" produced in about two weeks with the initial impulses of the two was distributed and released online. The music videos for the recorded songs "Space D" and "Zero Atmospheres," which were produced by Davide using CG, received high praise and awards at overseas film festivals (Andromeda Film Festival, International Music Video Award, Vesuvius International Film Festival, Virgin Spring Cinefest, etc.).

In March 2022, after exchanging vast amounts of data through meticulous chats for about a year, they released their full album "Dark Planet" online. The music video for the single cut song "Faith in the Atom" was produced by Davide with CG, and Yoshimitsu was in charge of editing. Then, with the concept of experimenting and pursuing sound images, they released 7 consecutive songs of "Dark Planet Chronicles" at a high pace of one song every two weeks as the side story of "Dark Planet".

In November 2022, the single "Control Shift Run," based on Yoshimitsu's childhood memories, was released. While playing the main theme in a hard rock guitar style, the song also incorporates 80s rock (The Police, XTC, U2, etc.) and Japanese beat rock techniques, blending them with a modern electro sound. The music video was produced by Yoshimitsu. The film "Dark Planet," directed by Davide, is scheduled to be released in 2023.

Their mysterious style, in which two people of different nationalities and backgrounds create music at high speed without ever having met in person, has been the talk of the town and has been featured on TV, magazines, radio, and other media, mainly in Italy.
