Pomodorosa is a multi-talented illustrator and character designer. She utilizes music and painting for her own artistic vision of the world. Pomodorosa performs the guitar, bass, sax, and mixes old and new technology (including AI) when creating her music. Some of her favorites genres are jazz and blues, latin, and pop music but at times has used genres such as alternative rock, hip hop, dance/edm, and reggae in her music. Her music and painting is continuing to evolve and change and you see this through her music. Pomodorosa illustrations and music compliment each other. Recommended.

Loneliness is a fantasy Oh the smooth bgms All but a dream, when it sets The freshness of the city roast We’re just a pair of aliens The city trains that we’re supposed to use, runs coldly like it doesn’t care We will reach our destination, Your planet, in no time Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit sweet, and Just a little bit special night with you If only we were meant to be The orbit-less falling leaves Look up, now can’t you see? The slumbering sky above Perfect day for a city roast Brings colour to the last phrase We have quite some time upon our hands, until we burrow through those layers of clouds Let us make a little promise, eh? On the next planet Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit bitter wound We have right there just underneath, yeah Keep them hidden up inside Let’s kiss like never before Once, no, more and more Can’t believe how modest we can be at times! Just a little bit sweet, and Just a little bit special night with you If only we were meant to be

The Minyo Crusaders 民謡クルセイダーズare a creative minyo folk band formed almost ten years ago and had roots in Fussa near Yokosuka Naval Base.The Minyo Crusaders incorporate Japanese folk songs infused with Latin, African, Caribbean, and Asian sounds. The Minyo Crusaders were greatly influenced by past singers such as Hibari Misora, Chiema Eri, and Tokyo Cuban Boys who integrated minyo and Latin rhythms in their music and helped them find their musical identity. The Minyo Crusaders create music that is fun, exciting, and memorable. Band members and audience equally have fun during the performances. One of their highlights was when Frente Cumbiero and Miyo Crusaders performed a 2019musical collaboration in Columbia. Their song collaboration of “Cumbia del Monte Fuji” and “Mambonegro Daisakusen” are pieces of artistic excellence. The band members of Minyo Crusaders are: Fredy Tsukamoto (vocals), leader Katsumi Tanaka (guitar), Meg (vocals), Moe (effects & keyboard), Mutsumi Kobayashi (bongos, drum machine), Shoji Ishiguro (bass), Irochi (congas), and Koichiro Osawa (Saxophone). Recommended.
