Remon Nakanishi, the singer who first drew widespread attention with the 2022 min'yo (Japanese traditinoal folk song) collection Hinano Iezuto and showcased a fusion of Gōshū Ondo, hip-hop, and mor lam in the 2023 12-inch double A-side jumbo single ODORI ONDO, will release his highly anticipated new track on January 30, 2026.
The new song is a rendition of the Bon song "Yattokose" from Sado Island. The track vividly combines the dynamic energy of Motown-style horn sections with a spaghetti western-inspired sound reminiscent of Ennio Morricone, bringing a fresh perspective to min'yo scene. The chorus features Suzumeno Tears. Arrangement and production are handled by Agatha (from Suzumeno Tears), as on the previous releases, while engineering is by Kohsuke Nakamura, known for his work with Yuta Orisaka and Rourourourous. The artwork is by Remon Nakanishi himself. This release marks the beginning of a five-month run of consecutive singles leading up to his second album.

Artist Profile

  • Remon Nakanishi

    Produced by Agatha, Remon Nakanishi's debut album Hinano Iezuto (Souvenir from the Countryside) (2022), along with Sparrow's Arrows Fly so High (2024) by Suzumeno Tears, signaled a new paradigm for post-pandemic Japanese pop rooted in local and vernacular sensibilities. Rejecting both standardized min'yō and folkloric preservation as static heritage, Nakanishi draws instead on songs and entertainments that circulated fluidly among ordinary people. His repertoire embraces the beauty, earthiness, cruelty, and humor of everyday life, which Agatha's refined arrangements blend with diverse global musical styles in unexpected ways. Long before emerging as a min'yō-inflected pop artist, Nakanishi immersed himself in grassroots performance cultures, participating in bon odori across Japan and creating artworks inspired by these experiences. He has worked for the off-note label, dedicated to marginal music and performance traditions in Japan and East Asia, while also guiding reading groups on early modern popular performance materials. His path as a singer crystallized through Monogatari Uchūno Kai, a correspondence course in Gōshū Ondo founded by Tadamaru Sakuragawa, which became central to the alternative bon odori scene and gave rise to Suzumeno Tears. During the COVID-19 pandemic, album production in Agatha's home studio led to Hinano Iezuto, followed by ODORI ONDO, a 12-inch single pairing extended Gōshū Ondo narratives with hip-hop and molam. A committed revivalist of popular festivals, Nakanishi is, for that very reason, a distinctly contemporary artist opening new spaces for vernacular expression today.
