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!”

FlowerNaoto Intiraymi

Singer-songwriter Naoto Inti Raymi, whose songs blend Black music with sounds from various countries, captivates his fans.

His fifth digital-only single, “Hana,” chosen as the CM song for SHARP’s AQUOS R3, kicks off with the chorus, instantly lifting your spirits.

The lyrics, which evoke the image of moving toward a dream that hasn’t yet taken shape, are especially encouraging for junior high school students with limitless potential.

It’s a positive track that suits the heat of summer, with a refreshing chorus ensemble that gives you a push forward.
