motionNishiuchi Mariya
Mariya Nishiuchi is a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka City.
It’s said that her name was inspired by the fact that she was born on Christmas Eve.
After working as a model for magazines like Seventeen, she debuted as an artist in 2014 with LOVE EVOLUTION and also pursued acting, but since leaving her agency in 2018, she has been working independently.
Her cute looks and cool style are appealing, and above all, her overwhelmingly beautiful singing voice is wonderful.
I spoke with her once at a release event, and she had a gentle personality.
Life is short, fall in love, young maiden.Iwabuchi Saki (MOSHIMO)
Saki Iwabuchi, the guitarist and vocalist of MOSHIMO, a guitar rock band from Fukuoka Prefecture, is from Kasuga City.
While performing live locally, she began uploading videos to platforms like Niconico, and debuted in 2013 with “Kanashimi no Buranko.” The band was originally called CHEESE CAKE, but the current name comes from Iwabuchi’s habit of writing lyrics and composing while imagining “what if (moshimo)…” Their songs charmingly capture the feelings of a woman in a pop style, and they’re incredibly appealing! The crisp guitars and her super-cute vocals will absolutely make your heart flutter!
The moon has eaten itFujita Ena
Ena Fujita, known for bold taglines like “singer-song gravure idol” and “the most undressable singer-songwriter right now,” hails from Kitakyushu.
She first drew attention through her work as a gravure idol and made her major-label debut as an artist in August 2016 with EVIL IDOL SONG.
While her one-of-a-kind style often steals the spotlight, she also shows a seriously cool side as a punk rocker! Her vocals are both beautiful and smoky, and when paired with her edgy sound, the emotional intensity is unstoppable!
BOND ~Kizuna~ feat. WakadannaJAMOSA
JAMOSA, who hails from Fukuoka Prefecture, is a Japanese singer born to a Japanese father and Taiwanese mother—the origin of her artist name—and has been pursuing music since childhood.
She has experience performing in the United States, including as a backing vocalist for Michael Jackson.
In Japan, she has also served as the opening act for AI.
Her gentle, conversational singing style is beautiful.
She’s known for collaborations with various artists, especially her tracks with Wakadanna from Shonan no Kaze and JAY’ED.
True to her concept of uplifting people through music, many of her songs carry a powerful, encouraging energy.
AIR KISSING feat.KM&LEXMANON
Hailing from Fukuoka, MANON is an artist drawing attention as a next-generation girls’ icon.
She’s half Japanese and half French, and says she started making music under the influence of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, whom she’s loved since elementary school.
Her unique style mixes alternative rock and hip-hop with Japanese “kawaii.” Stylish and pop all the way! The interplay of her cute looks and vocals with laid-back sounds and rap is fantastic.
She seems poised to spark a revolution in Japanese girls’ culture! Highly recommended for anyone seeking cutting-edge “kawaii.”
On the day of departure…Kawashima Ai
Singer-songwriter Ai Kawashima hails from Fukuoka City.
Her songs I WISH, Ai (as ai) “Ashita e no Tobira” (Door to Tomorrow) and “My Love,” along with their original version “Tabidachi no Hi ni…” (On the Day of Departure), which served as the theme for the romance reality show Ainori, are also cherished as classic graduation-season tracks.
She tirelessly performed street gigs and was even dubbed the “Angel of the Streets.” Perhaps because Ai has transformed many hardships into strength, listeners are powerfully drawn to her clear, gently enveloping voice.
In 2019, she marked the 16th anniversary of her debut and released her first collaboration album.

Mariko Takahashi, who once sang under the name “Pedro & Capricious.” Even with age, her beautiful voice and powerful vocals remain, and it made me think, “So this is what adult elegance really means.” Listening to her songs is calming, isn’t it?
