Artist Profile
Kiyohiro Kosugi"Singing Japan's festivals and scenery with the soul of the blues." I'm originally from Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. I've been active since 1992 and am a troubadour artist with a career spanning over 30 years. I'm not just a musician, I'm also a creator who writes lyrics, composes music, produces, and even works as a remixer. My unique style of work: My true strength lies in my style of capturing the "live scenes" of Japan in my music. Traveling Melodies: I travel to fireworks festivals, Bon Odori dances, festivals, summer festivals, and parties all over the country, sublimating the excitement of the places and the scenery of my travels into my songs. Fusion of Japanese culture and blues: With a focus on blues, he weaves in enka and traditional Japanese sounds to create a unique sound that strikes a chord with the Japanese people. His identity as the unit "cos9n": In 2022, he formed the unit "cos9n" in pursuit of a more multifaceted musical expression. Multiple roles: Within the unit, he is responsible for songwriting, producing, and playing multiple instruments. Digital distribution: He is also actively promoting modern content by linking video and audio through sites such as TuneCore Japan. Impact keywords: "Travel, festivals, blues" He is a rare presence who redefines traditional Japanese "liveliness" with the melancholic tones of blues.
