Profile

He is from Tokyo. I started singing in the style of playing the piano when I was a teenager, and started working as a professional singer in my twenties. I met Sanshin (Three-string guitar) in Okinawa for the first time in 2001 after participating in the artist's back chorus and live tour, and studio work for singing commercial songs and corporate image songs. Started live activities of Okinawan folk songs in the style of Uta Sanshin in 2006.

In 2009, the 1st solo album “Tokyo Ryuka” was announced. In 2013, the 2nd solo album “Little Little Fingers” was announced. Currently, in addition to performing live performances mainly in the Kanto region, he is also active as a lecturer at Sanshin (Three-string guitar) classroom. In addition, since 2015, he formed the band “MILQJAM” with Okinawan music artists active in the Kanto region, and has been working in parallel with solo works.
