Masayuki Suzuki

**Masayuki Suzuki** is a legendary Japanese singer and frontman best known as the charismatic leader of the iconic band **Rats & Star** (formerly The Chanels), who helped define Japan's vibrant city pop scene in the 1980s. With his deep, velvety vocals and flamboyant stage persona, Suzuki earned the nickname “The King of Japanese City Pop,” blending doo-wop, soul, and disco into timeless hits like the classic *め組のひと* (which he reimagined in 2025 for a new generation). Decades into his career, Suzuki remains a dynamic force, balancing nostalgic throwbacks with fresh, jazzy tracks like *Snazzy* and *flavor*, proving his smooth style never goes out of fashion. When he’s not crooning, he’s often spotted as a delightfully opinionated judge on TV music competitions, keeping his playful energy alive in Japan’s pop culture.
