Music Corner Week 79: Fujii Kaze

Fujii Kaze is a musician and singer who hails from Satosho in Okayama, Japan. His whole life he’s been fixated on music, listening to jazz, pop, enka, and classical music from a very early age. At the age of twelve, Kaze started uploading videos to YouTube with him playing piano and doing vocal cover videos, his personal YouTube channel has gathered over 30 million views. He stopped uploading during High School to focus on his studies and after he graduated he went back to making videos. In 2019, Kaze moved to Tokyo where he signed on with Universal and that same year he started releasing music. His debut single, “Nan-Nan” was released on November 18 of 2019, and his second single, “Mo-Eh-Wa” was released a little over a month later on the 24th of December. In 2020 Kaze dropped his first album titled HELP EVER HURT NEVER on May 20th.

Fujii Kaze has an amazing voice that he employs to great effect. The listener can really hear the jazz influence in all of his music. He has a really smooth and laid-back style that just helps the listener to relax and enjoy the music. Kaze is also an amazing pianist and that really shows in his work. The first song I ever heard by him was his latest release “Kirari” which is just so catchy it hard to stop listening to it. “Kirari” shows off his vocal talent really well, going smoothly into the higher octave before dropping back down. 

Fujii Kaze just released his Help Ever Hurt Cover which includes a wide variety of American tunes such as Taylor Swift”s “Shake It Off”, and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” just to name a few. His official website stays up to date with all his latest news along with his Twitter. Lastly, be sure to check out “Kirari” in the video below.
