Say-ryu
Artist Profile
Say-ryuSince the mid-90s, they have been active as an acoustic unit of two members, Tsutomu Yamauchi (Vo&G) and Hiroyuki Nagao (G). In 2016, Tatsuya Kinoshita (P), who is also a sound producer, joined the group.
With that as a starting point, their music has become more pop-like while still rooted in blues, rock, and R&B, and they have also incorporated tastes of jazz and Latin.
In 2023, they will record their first full album with a full band, "May," featuring the rhythm section of Satoshi Totoki (Cb) and Takashi Horiguchi (Dr). The CD will be released in March 2024. They aim to create music that everyone can enjoy regardless of genre.
Every year on Respect for the Aged Day in September, they hold a solo live show at the live house APIA40 in Himonya, Meguro, and will hold their 9th live show in 2025.
They are mainly active at live houses in Tokyo.
