Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Chanmina is a female rapper born in 1998, affectionately known as the “Beyoncé of Nerima.” She released her debut single, “Miseinen” (Minor), in 2016, which topped the iTunes Hip-Hop chart.

Since then, she has continued to put out hit songs and moved to Warner Music Japan in 2018.

While her music incorporates elements of J-pop, it features a contemporary sound, and her lyrics—rooted in real-life experiences—resonate with many listeners.

Having visited various countries, she brings a sharp perspective on gender bias and discrimination against women, and her commitment to addressing these themes through her music is part of her appeal.

Singer-songwriter Minami, who made her major debut in 2019, is also a vocalist with an exceptionally cool voice.

As you can hear in her debut and signature song, Kawaki wo Ameku, she impressively shifts between a clear, composed tone and a raspy, almost growling timbre with ease.

Moreover, her transitions between chest voice and falsetto are smooth and striking, making her a vocalist whose appeal lies not only in her vocal quality and technique but also in her high level of expressiveness.
