crowdImawano Kiyoshirō

Singer-songwriter Kiyoshiro Imawano, beloved by many for his unconventional personality and distinctive musicality.

Though he’s a singer who represents rock and punk, he also released songs rooted in the blues, which could be called a close relative of those genres.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Zattō” (Crowd).

Surprisingly, Imawano’s uniquely colored voice pairs exceptionally well with the blues.

It’s a perfect pick for those who want to hear blues that carries a refined coolness while holding a subtle, wistful touch.
