Keyboard playerSAKI
I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

The Talent for LoveKawamoto Makoto

These days, thanks in part to talk shows, it’s become widely known that Makoto Kawamoto is just as exuberant in real life as she is in her songs and performances—so much so that once she takes off, it feels like she’ll never come down.

The way she belts it out while strumming her guitar like crazy is one thing, but even though this song isn’t exactly bright or breezy, its sense of groove is irresistibly upbeat.

It’s also the track that launched her as a bona fide genius, and the quality shows.

She’s got plenty of other high-energy tracks too, like “1/2”!
