Following her hit single Orizuru, Rika Azuma releases her highly anticipated 2nd single, Chikai. This soul stirring track captures her triumphant return to the stage, rising above despair after a devastating accident that resulted in severe leg fractures and nearly ended her singing career.
With lyrics written by Ichika Asahina of Shisaine Music, the words blend gentle serenity with an unyielding passion for revival. Producer Toshimi weaves these sentiments into a rich, vibrant soundscape steeped in traditional Japanese aesthetics. Soaring through this breathtaking sonic world, the clear, powerful, and deeply soulful vocals of Rika Azuma deliver an epic masterpiece of monumental scale.
International Enka Singer, Music Therapist, and Vocal Coach - Cultural exchange between Japan and the world - Highly acclaimed by global celebrities and royalty - Internationally active, mainly in Asia, with passionate performances in Dubai and at Carnegie Hall in New York - Earthquake reconstruction support activities in Northeast Japan (Tohoku) I can sing various genres of music and cater to a wide range of age groups. My shows, which include quick outfit changes, are highly acclaimed both across Japan and internationally. Utilizing my background as a former announcer, I captivate audiences as a singer who shows, listens, charms, entertains, and moves people to tears. As a music therapist, I focus on high-vibration vocalization and singing techniques, bringing joy through spiritual healing. I am Rika Azuma (formerly Rika Azuma, using a different kanji character in Japan), an international enka singer, music therapist, and vocal coach who ranks 3rd in the world as a representative of Japan and has been honored overseas. Last year, despite being in rehabilitation after sustaining serious injuries in an accident, I participated in an international competition on crutches and won the Best Vocalist Award. Taking that experience as an opportunity, I evolved the kanji of my last name to Azuma. Through Japanese culture and song, I hope to continue contributing to cultural exchange between Japan and the world, as well as to world peace. I am eagerly looking for those who warmly agree with my activities, support me, and single-push me as their favorite artist! I look forward to receiving requests for media and event guest appearances, karaoke judging, and vocal training seminars.
