Samon Nagatani, born in 1999, is a singer-songwriter from Kyoto Prefecture. He was born and raised in the town of Uji-Tawaracho, the birthplace of Japanese green tea and a town rich in nature. When he was in high school, a guitar given to him by his father sparked his interest in music, and he began to create songs on his own. On March 20, 2024, he released his first single "Ichiban Senji" and began his activities under his real name. The song is an exhilarating number suitable for the spring season, as if the song is running through the air at a high speed. The song is an exhilarating number that is perfect for spring, as if running along at high speed. In other words, I like it best when it is roasted first."
