One of Okinawa's most treasured classical pieces, "Kagiyadefu Bushi," is brought to life through a heartfelt virtual father-and-son collaboration.
Before his passing in August 2018, Yoshikuni Okamura - a master of Ryukyuan classical music and a teacher of the Afuso style of uta-sanshin - recorded this performance on cassette tape as a practice guide for his students. Years later, his son, Satoshi Okamura, carefully restored the worn and aging recording, adding his own arrangement and uta-sanshinperformance.
The result is a moving collaboration across generations, fulfilling a father-and-son performance that was never possible during his father's lifetime.

Artist Profile

  • Satoshi Okamura

    A singersongwriter originally from Naha City and Kin Town in Okinawa, Japan, he is known for his distinctive musical style that blends a wide range of genres with the unexpected charm of the Okinawan language (Uchinaaguchi). He made his debut as a songwriter in 1996 with "Style," a song recorded by Fumiya Fujii on his album TEARS. After resuming his solo career at the end of 2007, he has established himself not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a prolific lyricist, composer, arranger, and sanshin performer. His works have been recorded by both independent and major label artists, while his sanshin playing has appeared on numerous recordings across various genres. In November 2015, he released his long awaited first full length album, Irumancha, nationwide in Japan. Since 2018, he has devoted himself once again to the study of Ryukyuan classical music. In 2024, he passed the Highest Division of the Afusoryu Sanshin category at the Ryukyu Classical Performing Arts Competition, organized by The Ryukyu Shimpo. He also earned a certified instructor's license from the Genseikai Association of Ryukyuan Classical Music (Afuso-ryu). His work in film includes arranging the theme song and ending theme, as well as composing and arranging part of the original score for the 2021 film Nankurunaisa: The Movie "As Long As We Live, We Never Die". His song "Ichiyatin"was selected as the official inspired-by song for the 2022 film Shimamori no To. In the summer of 2025, he performed the sanshin for songs featured in the film Army on the Tree, sung by Kaori Futenma. Based in Tokyo, he continues to perform, compose, and collaborate on projects throughout Japan, while sharing the rich musical traditions of Okinawa with contemporary audiences.
