Kotobukikun

Kotobukikun is a rising artist in the Japanese music scene, known for an eclectic mix of styles that deftly blend elements of reggae, pop, and urban beats. With a name that evokes a sense of celebration and longevity—the word "kotobuki" meaning "long life" or "congratulations" in Japanese—Kotobukikun has carved out a niche with a sound that is both innovative and nostalgically reverent of classic Japanese musical motifs.

The artist's recent releases showcase a diverse range of thematic and stylistic influences. Tracks like "Yoru Wo Surinukete" ("Slipping Through the Night") and "Tokyo City" reflect an urban sensibility, while "RAGGAMUFFIN SKANK" introduces a more carefree, dancehall vibe. With remixes like "大どんでん返し" ("Big Turnaround") ハルハクルremix, Kotobukikun demonstrates a willingness to revisit and re-imagine previous works, infusing them with fresh sounds and rhythms. Celebratory tunes like "あー夏休み" ("Ah, Summer Vacation") capture the quintessential joy and lightness of seasonal leisure, underscoring the artist's versatility and broad appeal. Through a collection of works that are as reflective as they are forward-looking, Kotobukikun confirms a commitment to creating music that resonates with a wide audience while staying true to a unique artistic vision.
