A Japanese musician whose 2013 single 'Bowling' lodged itself in listeners' heads with its elusive lyrics.
If you want to get a feel for his thing, start with 'Bowling' and maybe 'Subarashiki Nichijou.' That's where the pull is.
That debut single 'Bowling' really stuck around, people couldn't shake the melody, even if they weren't sure what the words meant. He kept writing songs that left things open, like 'Hachigatsu Muika' and 'Kinou No Namida To, Kyou No Humming,' pulling from rock and electronic sounds without picking a lane. The Japan Record Award for Best New Artist showed someone was paying attention, even if the details around it got fuzzy.
He came out of Saitama playing guitar and keyboards, and 'Bowling' in 2013 became his calling card. Albums like 'Fading Away' in 2015, 'Blue Hour' in 2017, and 'Zenith' in 2019 followed, with critics sometimes wondering if he was being provocative or just hard to pin down.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
