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!

From the late 1990s into the 2000s, Jamiroquai—a solo project that made a huge impact worldwide—took the spotlight.

It’s often mistaken for a band, but in form it’s a solo project, with the lineup changing from song to song.

What defines Jamiroquai is, of course, its jazzy, stylish musicality.

Its avant-garde expression—something not found in the jazz scene at the time—was instantly embraced around the world.

This time, we’re bringing you a quiz all about Jamiroquai.

We’ve got everything from catchy questions anyone can answer to tough ones that will challenge even hardcore fans.
