Hello! My name is NAOKO, and I am a jazz vocalist based in Tokyo. I perform a wide range of music, from classic jazz standards to original songs, sometimes incorporating Japanese lyrics into my singing. In addition to my own gigs, I participate in jazz festivals and also collaborate in concerts with string quartets and choirs. I also host the FM radio show Luxury Time ~ NAOKOs Swingin Weekend. On my YouTube channel, I enjoy reinterpreting popular Japanese songs—such as those by YOASOBI and Kenshi Yonezu—through jazz arrangements. I have a deep passion for the European jazz scene and have traveled to UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal to experience live music. I was even fortunate enough to perform in Spain! I am always eager to explore and learn more about jazz and popular music from around the world. Music is a universal language, and I look forward to connecting with more people:))
