XSRina Sawayama
Rina Sawayama, an artist from Niigata Prefecture.
She may be unfamiliar to many due to her relatively low profile in Japan, but she’s the only Japanese artist who’s truly making waves in the UK.
Her track “XS,” released in April 2020, carries a political message, satirizing the absurdity of capitalism.

xoxoxoSecret And Whisper
Secret and Whisper is a Canadian band known for a sound where passion and lyricism intersect.
In 2007, members of their previous band took a new step by bringing in Charles Furney as the vocalist.
Their music is rooted in post-hardcore, skillfully incorporating elements of emo and experimental alternative rock.
Their debut album, Great White Whale, released in February 2008, became a talking point in the music scene at the time, and the track XOXOXO drew attention by entering the iTunes charts within the top 100 in its first week.
Although they haven’t received major awards, Charles’s emotionally rich high-register vocals contrasted with the band’s heavy sound, along with their narrative-driven lyrics, earned high praise from specialized media, who called it a “powerful debut.” After a period of inactivity, they are set to return with a festival performance in April 2025.
This is a band you’ll want to hear if you’re seeking music with a unique world-building approach, where delicate emotional expression is woven together with an overwhelming sonic presence.

Beyoncé is a singer who gained worldwide popularity with her powerful vocals, and she’s extremely popular in Japan as well.
Her song “XO,” released in 2013, was a hit in the United States.
While it’s a song about mutual love, Beyoncé has said she created it for those who have lost a loved one, and reading the lyrics, that interpretation certainly makes sense.
Musically, it’s power pop with heavy use of synthesizers.
