A singer-songwriter from Aizu in Fukushima, Japan.
He is the originator of “Namari-uta,” a unique style that fuses traditional Japanese folk music with pop.
His guitar playing, which resembles the tone and phrasing of the shamisen, and his modern reinterpretation of Japanese folk songs create a truly one-of-a-kind sound.
His music—both nostalgic and new—and his distinctive voice resonate deeply with listeners.
