Authenticity and soul are at the core of Kazuyoshi Saito’s dizzyingly extensive body of work. The J-rock artist started making music in 1993, with his heart firmly on his sleeve. He’s displayed rock, blues, pop, jazz, folk and other influences on his 20-plus studio albums, all while expanding his considerable fan base. Whether it’s 1997’s Beatle-esque “Uta Utai No Ballad”, 2012 rock anthem “Yasashiku Naritai” or 2021’s slide-guitar ditty “We Are Together”, a musical adventure is always in the cards.
