Tatsuyuki Ishikawa is a singer-songwriter from Yurihama, Tōhaku District, who made his major debut in 2001.

Because he performed singing with acoustic guitar while working at a fire department, he was called the “singing firefighter.” “Satogaeri” (Homecoming) is a song included on Tatsuyuki Ishikawa’s album Omoide (Memories).

It’s you.ionorimi

True to her title of “OL Singer,” Ionorimi—who juggles careers as both an office worker and a singer—hails from Kurayoshi City in Tottori Prefecture.

Although her parents once persuaded her to give up on her dream of becoming a singer, she couldn’t let it go and enrolled in a music vocational school.

She performed on the streets for a time, but later joined a regular company and worked as an office lady.

Still unable to quell her desire to sing, she applied to a project called OL Singer, passed the audition, and subsequently made her major debut.

AKI-C is a musician from Tottori Prefecture who could be described as a bundle of talent—almost as if he was born to be a musician.

He is a trombone player who is energetically active mainly on YouTube.

On his own YouTube channel, which has over 30,000 subscribers, he posts videos in which he performs ensemble-style covers—by himself—of famous songs and current hits that everyone knows.

His broad performance ability across genres is truly captivating!

loose-leaf paperP.I.MONSTER

The straightforward, innocent lyrics really grab me.

P.I.MONSTER is a rock band formed in 1996.

The vocalist, Takao Hasegawa, is from Tottori Prefecture.

Hasegawa’s warm, powerful voice delivers the feelings embedded in the lyrics straight to listeners’ hearts.

Although P.I.MONSTER disbanded in 2005 to much regret, they reunited in 2013 in response to passionate fan support.

My recommended track is “Loose Leaf.”
