Music Corner Week 65: FUKI
/FUKI is a pop vocalist currently signed under Victor Entertainment. She got her big break in 2012 when she was found by music producer EGO, who works with Che’Nelle and Dai Hirai, and began to work together to make music. She officially made her debut in 2015 with the single “Kimi ja Nakya”. From there she released a concept album キミへ ~LOVE SONG COLLECTION~ on iTunes in 2016 where it ranked number 2 on the charts. In the same year, she released her first full length album LOVE DIARY. FUKI recently worked on her #12sweetlovestories project where she released 12 love songs within a year. FUKI’s music is vocal heavy with the composition that accompanies her talents perfectly. She holds a powerful voice that resonates with you in her tracks and leaves an impact despite most being mid-tempo and ballad tracks.
FUKI’s track “Kimi e” is a powerful love ballad that shows off her vocal capabilities with beautiful lyrics and a wonderful composition to match. Both the original and strings versions are a joy to listen too. “Taisetsu na Hito” is another great track that shows FUKI’s vocal talent and is a beautiful love song about that “important or special person” in your life. FUKI has several versions of this track and all of them are gorgeous as her expressive vocals bring out the emotional feel of this track. “Hyakuman kai no I Love You” is more of a mid-tempo track and the composition is fanastic. The piano at the beginning and playing through out this song sticks out and FUKI’s vocals flow perfectly with this track. FUKI"‘s “365” has the most wonderful opening and this is the song that made me fall in love with her. the vocals and composition in this track fit so well and FUKI’s emotions speak to me.
Currently, FUKI has three studio albums: LOVE DIARY, LIFE DIARY, and IN LOVE; one concept album: キミへ ~LOVE SONG COLLECTION~, four mini albums, twenty-one singles (physical and digital), and a double compilation album LOVE and CRYthat released in April of this year.
