"Superb tracks from the creative duo of pianist Yukitaka Nagami and BE THE VOICE vocalist Junko Wada!
True to its title, "Mushroom & WhippedCream," this album is a pure expression of their unique worlds. It brings together Yukitaka Nagami - a sound creator, engineer, and mushroom lover, and Junko Wada - a songwriter, designer, and whipped cream photo collector.
The lineup blends vintage American cinema songs by Bing Crosby, iconic soul and pop by Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Carole King, classic Japanese City Pop, and two fresh originals.
Combining simple piano and vocals with Yukitaka Nagami's multi-instrumental production and Junko Wada's striking artwork, this high-profile mini-album shines with their undeniable talent."

  • Junko Wada

    A singer-songwriter from Tokyo, now based in Fukuoka. She graduated from the Graduate School of Tama Art University. After the Great East Japan Earthquake, she relocated to Fukuoka. As the vocalist and songwriter for BE THE VOICE, she was discovered in 1998 by Yukihiro Takahashi of YMO and made her debut with the group. Since 2020, she has also performed solo under the name Zunko, focusing on acoustic live shows. While BE THE VOICE pursues an urban pop approach, her solo work emphasizes raw acoustic sound and the theme of musical communication. Influenced by artists such as Carole King and Stevie Wonder, her smoky and soulful vocals, sometimes incorporating rap, ride over her folksy guitar playing. She has also composed and performed music for TV commercials, jingles, narration, company songs, corporate image themes, and graduation songs for kindergartens. In 2022, she released the BE THE VOICE album And now, inspired by forests and the natural world. Beginning in 2025, she also started creating commissioned paintings under the series "Nyan Cat Portraits." Alongside this, she continues to develop a wide range of creative expressions, including design and puppet projects, establishing herself as a truly multi-faceted artist.
