ARTISTS
#Sakaki Nao
A solo singer who writes her own lyrics and composes her own music. She took the name “Sakaki” from *The Tale of Genji*. Her appeal lies in her fresh musical style, which features expressive vocals that pierce the heart, contemporary funk and soul, and lyrics that incorporate “classical” elements.
