Bringing 'Japanese Retro Pop' to the world.
Ehime Ken-Nankai Broadcasting's mysterious hometown singer who 'sings the charms of Ehime entirely on his own'-returns with a brand-new release, starring Uchiko's unique citrus: Jabara!

From the very first second, he hits you with: 'Hii-okay! Time for a quiz!'
Mandarin? Yuzu? Kabosu? Close...but not quite. It's tart, a little bitter, and that wake-you-up aroma is strangely addictive. The clues come fast-three seconds left-and then: 'The answer is... Jabara!'
Yes, this might be a whole new genre: Quiz Kayō.

Even Jabara's spotlight ingredient, 'narirutin,'gets the Ehime Ken treatment-turned into an unforgettable wordplay hook: 'It'll make you feel bet-narirutin'... and 'results may vary-narirutin.'Add a toy-box-bright, bustling arrangement, then drop in that seductive low voice with a hint of David Bowie, and you've got a pop song you can't stop replaying. He even signs off with 'See you next week,' like a radio segment-because of course he does.

Hear it once, you'll remember it. Remember it, you'll want to sing it:
Jabara, jabara-Uchiko's jabara.
Give it a listen!
