Soushi Sakiyama (崎山蒼志)

Soushi Sakiyama (崎山蒼志) is a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 31 August 2002. His songs combine j-pop and singer-songwriter sensibilities with alternative rock energy, and his writing is marked by emotional directness, fragile melodies, sharp guitar-driven arrangements, and an understated vocal delivery. From early on, he drew attention for the contrast between delicate phrasing and the tension inside his guitar work. His catalog moves between indie pop, folk, and rock without relying on dense production. Instead, Sakiyama builds songs around melody, dynamic shifts, and small details in the writing, which gives his music an intimate but tense atmosphere. That balance between restraint and impact has helped his work stand out and made his style immediately recognizable. Sakiyama is also known to anime listeners through theme-song work, which has expanded his audience beyond the singer-songwriter scene. In 2026, he released the music video for "Utakata" and announced a new album and revival live featuring Haraguchi Sasuke and Yukichi Kasa/men, adding fresh momentum to a catalog already defined by introspection, strong melody writing, and a clear personal voice.
