Editor's note

YOHIO, the Swedish singer who found Japan

A Swedish-born musician who built a career through Japanese television and chart-topping singles.

For a quick sense of his sound, try 'Heartbreak Hotel' for the chart hit and 'Sakura, Falling' for something more atmospheric. They frame that Swedish-meets-Japan thing pretty well.

YOHIO's story is one of those unexpected cross-cultural paths that doesn't happen often. His 2013 single 'Heartbreak Hotel' topped the Oricon charts in Japan, which is a pretty solid achievement for a Swedish artist. Songs like 'Opera #2' and 'Sakura, Falling' show how he blended his own style with the Japanese pop landscape he entered.

He first appeared in Japan with the band Seremedy on NHK's 'Nodo Jiman' competition in 2005. After the band ended, he went solo and released albums like 'Reach the Sky' in 2014 and 'Neo Universe' in 2019. He's worked with artists like Gackt and HYDE along the way.
