Editor's note

Watashi-Wa's melodic rock and emotional directness

A Tokyo band whose songs carry feeling through Akari Kageyama's voice and personal territory.

For a good frame, try 'All That I Can't Keep' or 'Ten Years And Separating States', they're melodic rock that lets Kageyama's voice do the heavy lifting.

Their debut single 'Andy' in 2009 caught attention for its emotional directness, and songs like 'All That I Can't Keep' show their style, melodic rock with space for Kageyama's voice to carry the feeling. They put out several albums through the 2010s, each leaning into more personal territory, and their 2019 record 'Rebirth' felt more open and forward-looking than some of their earlier material.

Watashi-Wa formed in Tokyo with Akari Kageyama on vocals, Hiroki Izumi on guitar, Daisuke Suzuki on bass, and Toshiro Yoshida on drums. They released their debut single 'Andy' in 2009 and first album 'Kono Yo no Hate' the following year. In 2013, Kageyama's public struggle with depression paused the band's work for a time before they returned with 'Rebirth' in 2019.
