Fujii Kaze is a rising singer songwriter from Japan. He started practicing classical piano when he was little after being
influenced by his father. Since he was 12, Kaze uploaded piano covers of popular songs on YouTube, which eventually caught
the music industry’s attention and led him to make a label deal. In 2020, he debuted with the release of the music video for
"Nan-Nan”.
In May 2020, Kaze released his first album called
HELP EVER HURT NEVER with a message not to hurt anyone but just help,
while the world was right in the middle of the pandemic. It reached No. 1 on Billboard Japan’s Hot Album chart and got
numerous prestigious awards in Japan. He was selected as YouTube Japan’s first Artist On The Rise and was also picked for
Spotify’s global program, RADAR.
In September 2021, he hosted an aspirational event titled Fujii Kaze “Free” Live 2021 at NISSAN stadium. Hoping to free up
people’s minds through his music, Kaze performed just by himself only with a grand piano at the 70,000 capacity stadium
without any audience due to Japan’s state of emergency in response to the spread of COVID-19. It was livestreamed globally
on YouTube and reached over 179,000 peak concurrent views. The event ended up becoming the world’s No. 1 trending topic
on Twitter.
In March 2022, Kaze released his second album called
LOVE ALL SERVE ALL. The title is a phrase that he cherishes, which
also aligns with the title of his first album. Again the album reached No. 1 on Billboard Japan’s Hot Album chart and got
numerous prestigious awards.
In July 2022, the track “Shinunoga E-Wa” from his first album went viral in Thailand. With that, the song reached #4 on
Spotify’s Global Viral chart and also reached #1 on the platform’s local viral charts in 23 countries including Thailand,
Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, UK, France, Canada, Brazil and Egypt. It reached #2 in the US. On Spotify’s Global Song chart, it
reached #57, and also the #118th position on the US Billboard Global 200 chart, despite the song being originally released in
2020. On YouTube’s Global Top Songs chart, the song spent 12 weeks, reaching as high as #33.
In October 2022, he held a stadium show called “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL STADIUM LIVE” at Panasonic Stadium Suita in Osaka,
this time in front of a live audience and completely sold out at 70,000 capacity. The show is now available on Netflix globally.
From June to July 2023, he held 7-city, 11-show tour of Asia, with all shows sold out.
In 2024, he shined with a showstopping NPR “Tiny Desk” performance which garnered over 20 million views and incited the
applause of Billboard and more. 2024 In May, he held his first U.S. tour, followed by a one-man live concert at Nissan Stadium
in August that drew 140,000 people over two days, and an Asia arena tour from October to December with 14 shows in 10
cities.
With a strong start to 2025, Fujii’s second studio album
LOVE ALL SERVE ALL recently won him “Album of the Year” at the
coveted MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN, where he also took home the big award for Best Japanese Singer/Songwriter. His single
“Feelin’ Go(o)d”, released in 2024 and produced by renowned producer A.G. Cook, won Fujii his first “Best Cross-Border
Collaboration” at the awards.
His first European tour is scheduled to begin in July, followed by second North American tour in August, and the long-awaited
release of his third album in September. Kaze will continue to spread love and freedom throughout the world through his
music and life.
