Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

I Wanna Be Your LoverUs

Us –I Wanna Be Your Lover (Live in Japan 2024) [Visualizer]

I Wanna Be Your LoverUs

Asu, a five-piece from Finland hurling rock ’n’ roll’s primal impulse into the present, is an insanely cool band that’s bound to draw serious attention.

Rooted in garage rock and fused with the ferocity of punk and the soul of the blues, their sound bursts with raw energy.

Formed in 2021, they steadily built their reputation through live shows and made their major-label debut in Japan in 2024 with the album “Underground Renaissance.” They were given the rare honor of playing six stages over three days at Fuji Rock 2024, and have been invited back again for 2025—proof of just how hot they are right now.

No overthinking needed—check out their badass rock!

MidsommerSvartsot

Svartsot is a folk metal band formed in Denmark in 2005.

They are known for their unique style that fuses elements of death metal and black metal with folk music.

They released their debut album, Ravnenes Saga, in 2007, followed by acclaimed works such as Mulmets Viser and Maledictus Eris.

In December 2008, they faced a crisis when multiple members left the band, but they successfully reorganized.

Drawing inspiration from Danish history and folklore, their songs masterfully blend ethnic instruments like the flute and mandolin with melodic death metal.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in the fusion of Nordic traditional music and heavy metal.
