Japanese singer and composer Jun Futamata’s special night concert at Aigu Om! festival brings peace and serenity and offers a possibility to delve into the music from Japan in a relaxed setting
Jun Futamata expresses a one-of-a-kind sound world with her innocent and clear voice and her unique compositional style that builds on layers of voices. After studying improvisation based on chord progressions in New York, she participated in numerous sessions with talented musicians from around the world.
Her recent works weave together elements of ambient, post-classical, environmental sound, minimalism, and electronica-garnering attention for their quiet strength and emotional sophistication.
She has worked extensively on films, TV dramas, animation, games, commercials, and soundtracks. Her recent career includes composition, arrangement, and vocals for the Sumitomo Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, participation in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and vocals for popular anime series such as Pokemon and My Hero Academia. She has recently written and arranged for several primetime TV dramas and movies.
In 2021, she released her debut solo album, GRAVITY, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes New Age chart, and in 2024 she released her second album, When Your Bones Turn Into Opal, recorded in Iceland.
