Biography
suis is a female singer and the lead vocalist for the band Yorushika which started in 2017. Her clear voice and expressiveness that changes with the song has earned her high praise, and in addition to her work with Yorushika, she is also active as a solo artist, performing theme songs for movies and providing narration. The band is extremely secretive and has never publicly revealed their faces. She sang the theme song Paper Airplane for the Pokémon Day 2025 animated feature Kairyu and the mailman.

Comments from suis about Paper Airplane:
I love Pokémon, but I didn't know much about Kairyu... at the beginning. After hearing about the role, I watched the movie Pocket Monsters Mewtwo Strikes Back for the first time. It was a wonderful movie and brought tears to my eyes.
However, all I knew about Kairyu was that it takes a very strong run-up before flying, so there were many mysteries surrounding it...
Next, I watched episode 10 of the Pocket Monsters 2019 anime, The Kairyu Paradise and the Hakuryu Trial!, and learned why Kairyu is called Kairyu. Of course, the Kairyu in Kairyu and the Mailman is not just a random Kairyu.
I had time to think carefully about what the sky was like before I sang the song (But at the time of recording, I just felt that Kairyu was cute. Pokémon are such lovely creatures...)

There were also moments when I was struggled with how I could express the beauty of Evan Call's music and Ameko Kodama's Japanese lyrics, but I was able to sing with all my heart because the two of them carefully explained their feelings about the song. I am still a very immature person, but I hope that part of me resonates through the song.

suisさんコメント
ポケモンは大好きだけれど、カイリューのことはあまりよく知らない…という始まりでした。
お話をいただいたことをきっかけに、「劇場版ポケットモンスター ミュウツーの逆襲」を初めて鑑賞しました。とても素晴らしい映画で涙しました。
しかしカイリューについては、飛ぶ前にかなり力強い助走をつけることしかわからず、謎が多いまま…。
次にアニメ「ポケットモンスター」(2019年)第10話「カイリューの楽園、ハクリューの試練!」を鑑賞し、ここでカイリューがカイリューたる理由を知りました。『カイリューとゆうびんやさん』におけるカイリューだってもちろん、漫然とカイリューなわけではないのです。
その空が一体どういうものであるのか、歌うにあたってじっくりと想いを馳せる時間がありました。
(が、収録の時点ではもうただただカイリューが可愛いという気持ちになっていました。ポケモンは本当に愛しい生き物なので…)
