"Monthly SSW Kumi Makino"
Kumi Makino, a "fisheries-related" singer-songwriter from Shiretoko, Hokkaido.
She captivates listeners with her music, filled with musical talent and humor, born from her love for seafood and the ocean.
She moved to Tokyo to attend university and began her music activities. She has released many "fish songs" such as the whale consumption promotion campaign song "Kujira no March," the theme song for the General Incorporated Association Japan Conger Association, "Reiwa wa Anago de!," "Ano Kawa wo Mezashite" themed around salmon, and "Saba Note."
Furthermore, she holds a Level 1 Japan Fish Sommelier certification and participated in the Fisheries Agency's "Ocean Treasure! Energetic Project for Women in Fisheries," developing her activities on both pillars of the primary industry, fisheries, and music.
This spring, she successfully held a milestone record release solo concert on March 23rd, coinciding with her enrollment in a music junior college.
We interviewed her about her past and future, as we look forward to her continued success.
