Music Corner 30: Sanari

Sanari is an up-and-coming rapper who is only seventeen years old and signed with avex. He discovered YouTube while still in elementary school and started posting videos on the service. From the beginning Sanari’s passion has been music, with him taking the money he earned from YouTube to buy a computer so he could make video productions. When he entered junior high school he started doing freestyle rap with his friends. Back in June he dropped his very first album, Sicksteen, and the very next month he dropped a digital album, Homemade. In October Sanari went on his first national tour and teamed up with fellow avex unit lol for their song “Like That!! Pt 2”.

Sanari might be young but he has already managed to cultivate an amazing talent able to be used over a wide variety of music. In Sicksteen, songs range from your more mainstream J-pop to two songs that have a heavy rock influence on par with, say, Linkin Park. In the song “Brand-New” you get to hear Sanari’s great sense of cadence and flow followed by his solid vocal talent. Sanari is the total package and with him cultivating such success at such a young age it’s definitely exciting to see what his future holds. You can stay up-to-date with him on his official web page or check his Twitter feed.
