If this amazing new album from Okinawa Electric Girl Saya is any indication of the quality of music we’ll see in 2022, buckle up as we’re in for a great year. She first came under our radar about a year ago — how can we not ignore her artist name?! Fast forward to 2022 and the release of Saya’s new album “doomsday ~ The End ~” (released on 1/26) which clocks in at 1 hour 11 minutes with a total of 17 songs. “Dancing in the distance” reminds us of early Cocco but the style is definitely Saya. The way she mixes shimauta with her original blend of different genres in “Doomsday” creates something very unique as in the song “ACCHAMEE!” (she recruited RYUKYUDISKO for rhythm in case you were wondering). She describes this new musical direction as an “Avant-garde musician, Okinawa Electric Girl Saya! A new generation of Okinawan pop music”. Yes! We love this new generation!

I’m an 19 year old [born in 2000 so she’s now 21 — karakui] musical artist from Okinawa, living in Tokyo. I sing pop and play noise, but perform a world of music including rock, dance, techno, house, hiphop, classical, modern, ethnic, and ambient. My music is inspired by sounds from all over the world. Let me share it with you.
