Naomi Okai is a New York-based singer/songwriter with roots in Showa-era Japanese popular music. Inspired by the free spirit of jazz & life in the City, her compositions do not fit within the boundaries of conventional genres. And that is just fine by her. As self-proclaimed “Singer/Soul Fighter,” Naomi aspires to find what makes us all human through music, and eradicate social barriers for a borderless world. 

岡井ナオミ: ニューヨーク在住ボーカリスト/作曲家。昭和歌謡をルーツとし、ジャズの自由な氣質とシティのライフスタイルに影響を受けた彼女の楽曲は典型的な音楽ジャンルの型にはまらない。それは意図的でもある。社会的隔たりを取り除き、国境という概念を超越したすべての人間に共通する「なにか」を探求するべく音楽を媒体にする、自称「シンガー・ソウルファイター」
