Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!
Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Even among people who know a lot about Western music, the names that come up for famous German musicians vary completely depending on the genres they listen to.

For metal fans, Germany is a metal powerhouse; for techno lovers, it’s a techno mecca; and if you’re into progressive rock, you might think of krautrock.

Within Germany’s music scene, this article focuses on singer-songwriters and rappers, highlighting a lineup centered on young artists who have been active in recent years.

You’ll also find many artists who are still relatively unknown in Japan, so if you’re interested in music from non-English-speaking countries, be sure to check them out!

In conclusion

As I mentioned at the beginning, unless you’re someone who’s into metal, prog, or club music, Germany’s music scene is still relatively unknown in Japan.

You don’t often see articles like this one that focus on singer-songwriters and rappers, so I’d be thrilled if it helped convey how amazing these lesser-known German artists are!
