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!

I play Electone, piano, and piano with vocals, and I upload performance videos to social media like YouTube! I’ve loved Disney music since I was little and have played many pieces on the Electone. I’ve been a fan of GLAY since junior high, and from there I started listening to all kinds of music, both Japanese and international. In Western music, I like Avril Lavigne♫

Lord of Major / Precious Things

Precious Things by Road of Major

This is a signature song by Road of Major, a rock band formed through a TV show project.

The band’s name was also taken from that project: it originally started as “The Road to Major,” but after their major-label debut, it was reinterpreted to mean “The Royal Road of the Major.” Their appeal lies in a truly orthodox, straightforward, and powerful rock sound.

Memories of dear friends and those who supported them, gratitude, and the resolve to move toward the future align with the music and resonate directly in the heart.

It’s a song that makes you want to sing with feeling, conveying your emotions plainly and sincerely.
