Nami Harada is an enka singer from Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture.

Influenced by his grandfather, he was exposed to enka from a young age, and by the sixth grade of elementary school he had even self-produced a CD of original songs, already active as an artist.

He later gained recognition on programs like NHK Nodo Jiman, and debuted as an enka singer in 2019.

His biggest appeal is, above all, his musicality.

He wields a style not found in typical enka, and some of his tracks even have a reggaeton-like vibe.

Truly, he’s neo-enka.
