Shugo Tokumaru has wowed critics and fans the world over with a sound that draws as much from classic Beatles-esque melodies as his own unique spin on Japanese pop.

A gifted songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Tokumaru is responsible for producing every sound heard on his records. Though the vocals are sung solely in his native Japanese, his universal melodies transcend the lack of lyrical familiarity to Western ears.

After the release of 2008’s critically-lauded Exit, Tokumaru significantly raised his profile with US audiences while supporting The Magnetic Fields on an east coast tour, performing sessions with NPR World Café Live and Daytrotter, and leading a backing band comprised of members of Beirut and The National during his own North American tour.
