amou

amou is a solo project by singer-songwriter Satoru Kitajima. Born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1991, he started playing guitar at the age of 14 and moved to the U.S. by himself at the age of 20. He studied recording, creativity, and marketing systematically in Hollywood with the concept of self-produced activities as an independent artist. After returning to Japan, while working for an IT venture company, he has been active in music as a guitarist and vocalist in "falleaves" and as a label director in "divergent record". In 2023, he started his solo career as "amou" and released his first ep "Slowdonw". He is influenced by emo and post-rock, and his sound is characterized by a wide range of sounds such as indie-folk, chill-out, tropical house, and so on. His lyrics are philosophical and reflective, as if he is confronting the difficulty of living within himself, while looking at the suffocation he feels in society.
