Akita Ondo, said to be Japan's oldest rap song.

Contrary to the widely known pride of the region, this work, titled "Pessimism," presents a worldview far removed from that.

It features a mysterious arrangement reminiscent of modern rap or something similar, and the entire piece is given a unique interpretation.

This is the first song in the artist's discography to be categorized as "rap," but even the artist himself doesn't know whether it's rap or something else. For now, why not give this experimental and original folk song a listen?

Artist Profile

  • Satoshi Suzuki

    A Japanese singer from the underworld, singing the poetic world of hell and Akita dialect blues. He hails from Junsai Kingdom (formerly Yamamotocho). He began performing solo acoustics in earnest in early 2023, and his signature songs include "The River of Dogs," "The Song of Atopic Dermatitis," and "The Wooden Bridge with Turtles." His literary and pessimistic songs, described as "a Tohoku-style emotional genre," have received high praise from all quarters. His other signature style, Akita dialect blues, has also gained popularity, garnering praise such as "I have no idea what he's saying, but it's fun." Following a relapse of mental illness, he relocated to Akita in 2026 after undergoing treatment and resuming his activities.
