COMA-CHI, the renowned rapper and singer, announces the release of her new album “OTO” on May 15, 2024. This work promises to be a piece that marries Japanese musical traditions with contemporary rap rhythms.
COMA-CHI: An Innovative Musical Journey, “OTO”
“OTO” which means “sound” in Japanese, results from a bold exploration of the fusion between traditional Japanese instruments such as the koto, shakuhachi, and shamisen, and the modern beats of HIPHOP. Led by koto virtuoso ASUKA, this album bridges the past and present, a dialogue between two musical worlds that meet. The album was produced with prominent music figures, such as Uyama Hiroto, SPIN MASTER A-1, and Mecca GodZilla. These talented producers have helped create a universal sound tailored to a global audience while remaining deeply rooted in Japanese identity.
