Kazufumi Miyazawa

Kazufumi Miyazawa is a Japanese singer-songwriter and frontman of the iconic 1990s band The Boom, best known for their global hit "Shima Uta" (島唄), which fused Okinawan folk influences with rock. Born in 1966 in Yamanashi Prefecture, Miyazawa launched his solo career after The Boom disbanded in 1994, continuing to blend traditional Okinawan sounds, heartfelt lyrics, and rootsy pop-rock. His recent releases like *島唄 ～琉奏～* and *沖縄からの風* revisit his deep connection to Okinawan culture, while albums like *～35～* and *次世界* showcase his knack for introspective storytelling. With a career spanning over 30 years—celebrated in projects like his *30th Anniversary Premium Studio Session*—Miyazawa remains a bridge between Japan’s regional musical heritage and contemporary styles, always grounded in warm, earthy melodies.
