UKULELEjapan Video Pick

I love this song and this arrangement by Tomoki Suzuki, the performer and arranger,

Suzuki-san started playing ukulele in 2013 and within two and a half years he won his first ukulele contest.  He is a ukulele evangelist, teaching, promoting, and playing with the goal of making the uke a "pop" instrument.  With over 50K YouTube subscribers he's well on his way.

I'd love to hear more Japanese ukulele performers actually sing.  It's odd that the country that gave us karaoke has so many solo ukulele instrumentalists and too few singer-songwriters.  

How about it Suzuki-san, sing us a song!



When it comes to the ukulele, outside of Hawaii Japan is where you can find some of the best arrangers, composers, performers, and instructional materials!

 I'm an amatuer ukulele player who happens to be fluent in Japanese.  For many years Japanese have kept their passion for the ukulele burning strongly and not surprisingly, some of the best instructional material, performers (pros and amateurs), and instruments can be found there. Now you can find it here!
