Hello! I’m Mutou, always on the hunt for emo vibes in music. Ever since I heard Spitz playing on the car stereo back in elementary school, I’ve been captivated by music. My tastes are broad—Japanese rock, UK sounds, EDM, folk, jazz, hip-hop, and more. I enjoy composing using guitar, keyboard, and DAW. Wishing all music lovers wonderful encounters through music!

I started playing guitar in elementary school, and in junior high and high school I played the horn in the concert band. In college I became engrossed in composing and began using DTM. These days, I provide songs to artists as a composer, run a blog under the name “Sakki,” and post music lesson videos on YouTube. My musical roots are in rock, but I also love dance music!

Shunkan SentimentalSCANDAL

SCANDAL “Shunkan Sentimental” / Shunkan Sentimental – Music Video

Instant Sentimental SCANDAL

It’s a slightly older song, but how about “Shunkan Sentimental,” one of SCANDAL’s most popular tracks? The tempo isn’t too fast and it’s not overly difficult, so I think it’s an easy song to try! Just be careful—if you play it a bit too slowly, it can feel sluggish, so aim for a tempo with a nice sense of drive.

SCANDAL is a four-piece girls’ band, so I’d especially love to see women take on the challenge!

Sora-fune TOKIO

Released in 2006 as TOKIO’s 35th single.

It drew attention for being written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima.

The song suits vocalist Tomoya Nagase’s masculine voice very well.

It’s a band number meant to be sung with a strong, manly style.
