    Featured in GQ Magazine's BEST New Music of 2021 representing Japan - here's the link to the article.

    Also, featured in Nippon.Com's article: Fujii Kaze: The Biggest Japanese Musical Phenomenon Since Utada Hikaru? Article here - lots of good tidbits. As a fan of Utada Hikaru, I didn't care for the comparison lol. So skip over that bit except that Kaze is quite unique as in Hikki when she first jumped into the JPOP scene.

    Reminder that his concert was released on Netflix today globally!!


    I am watching it now and Netflix has ‘questionable’ English translations for his songs. Some of it is a ‘choice’ to cater to the younger fans? I dunno but I am not liking some of the translations. Like 神様 means god but it was translated as ‘Lord’ hmmm. Also Nan Nan is slang for a harsh ‘What’ but they went and translated as ‘WTF’ lol


    I finished it. The concert felt really authentic to Kaze, including his unique dances and comments lol. He really shines when he does his piano magic. It’s a simple concert and sometimes that it is a good thing because the music speaks for itself. Also, loved his saxophone solo intro into Shinunoga-Ewa.
