Singer-songwriter Ritomo, based in Shizuoka City, has been honing a distinctive musical style.

With a clear, translucent voice and delicate melodies as her strengths, she has established her own genre—an innovative blend of sadcore and indie pop—rooted in guitar-and-vocal performances.

In 2014, at the age of 17, she began her full-scale career after serving as the opening act for Shikao Suga’s live tour stop in Shizuoka.

In 2019, she won the Grand Prix at an audition hosted by FM K-mix and went on to host a regular local radio show.

In January 2024, she released her first full-length album, “edge,” produced by music producer Motoaki Fukanuma.

Fusing the sensitivity of solo guitar-and-vocal performances with a full band sound, her music is recommended for those who value a world rich in wistfulness and emotional nuance.
