The new LP album Norito is the first-ever collaborative album to be released by three prominent Japanese artists with diverse backgrounds and careers, Yuima Enya, J.A.K.A.M., and DJ Kensei.
Side X features "Waidai", the first collaboration between J.A.K.A.M. and Yuima, which was highly rated on streaming services since its release in May 2024, "Ouka" with the powerful beat of 'Awaodori', a traditional Japanese folklore dance, and Yuima's vocals that seem to go beyond the sky, and "Waidai (MaL RMX)" by MaL (PART2STYLE), who has added the beat arrangement of Amapiano, a genre derived from house music in South Africa.
Side Y features the 9-minute-plus epic "Hyottoko," fused with the stripped-down beat of DJ Kensei, Yuima's emotionally rich vocals and poetry reading, rapper Hon Da Q's storytelling, rapper Yukko who is known for the Japanese Hip-Hop unit "Hahaoya Bunkamura," and the spiritual musical instrument performance of GoRo the Vibratian, who plays original instruments with a sense of frequency inherited from the DNA of ancient times, "Hiotoko" featuring Yuima's soothing and soulful vocals, and "Bliss," a beatless version of "Hyottoko" with a different musical arrangement.
DJ Kensei and J.A.K.A.M. are both very well reputed sound producers/DJs internationally and in Japan and have been professionally active as an artist for over 30 years. Yuima Enya is a Japanese female singer who lived in NY for seven years, graduated from a jazz university in NYC. She is versatile in Jazz, R&B/Soul, experimental music, and she is one of the busiest singers in Japan. Her recent cover song of Sade was a huge hit in Japan this year 2024.
The three prominent Japanese artists, Yuima Enya, J.A.K.A.M., and DJ Kensei, have discussed the idea of creating music together for the first time in late 2023 and have decided to create a first-ever collaborative album together especially released on Record Store Day 2025. All of the 6 songs in the album Norito are newly written, mixed, and mastered for an analog vinyl record and will be the first to be released on a vinyl record format on Record Store Day 2025.
