Single[Moon]
Born in Miyazaki, Japan. With a hauntingly beautiful voice and joyful spirit, singer-songwriter Masumi Ako is a rare talent who is ready to share her gift with world. Inspired by country and folk, she began her musical career at 22. At her first year of performing, she won the Yamaha Song Contest and she got the audience prize in the SONY V3 competition. When she was 25, she drew praise on an article Kame no Ongaeshi of a famous Japanese bassist, producer Seiji Kameda:"A voice that feels like motherhood' s comfort, full of warmth that POP music tends to forget. At 29, she got to the final stage of Sing Sing Sing (a major Japanese POP contest on channel TBS). In 2019, she was commissioned to provide music for TV Osaka for the program Chokotto Kyoto ni sundemita, again in 2020 for Meikenchiku de Chushoku wo. Now she sings in the drama À Table! in 2023 & 2024 and released all those musics from Shochiku Records. In 2025, she was chosen as a vocalist for the Kansai TV / Fuji TV drama Bokutachi wa Mada Sonohoshi no Kosoku wo Shiranai. She has lived in the United States, France and has now returned to Japan. After 3 independent albums and multiple singles, she continues her journey to share her music with the world.
