Hey,  welcome to my homepage, this is Aki! :D

I'm a German & Japanese musician based in Frankfurt, Germany. Having grown up with both cultures, German and Japanese are my mother tongues. That’s why my social media posts are in English, German, and Japanese. I want to express myself in the languages that my heart speaks.

Aside from music, I have a background in Cognitive Informatics and Neuroscience, which has shaped how I think about creativity and structure. While my passion has always been music, my studies gave me a unique perspective on patterns, perception, and the way people experience sound. Maybe that’s why I’ve always been drawn to mixing different genres.

Since 2006, I’ve been a front singer in various bands across different cities, performing genres like Screamo, Hardcore, Metal, and Metalcore. In 2017, I also started composing instrumental music in the electronic music field.

In 2019, I had the idea to produce a concept album, originally with my metal band in Cologne. So, I wrote a story consisting of six chapters, from which I developed the lyrics and vocal melodies for six songs. This storys name is "Path of Eternity."

In 2020, shortly before the pandemic struck, I moved back to Frankfurt am Main.
I like to push boundaries, not just musically, but also in the way I tell stories through my songs. That’s what led me to remake my concept album, Path of Eternity, this time as a solo-artist. It’s a project that brings together different musical worlds while following a bigger idea, something you’ll get to discover over time.
In this first edition, I am doing everything on my own — from composition, mixing, and mastering to the visual representation through lyric videos, social media management, and, of course, recording my own vocals.

Under the banner of "Jazz Flavour", I also release (instrumental) electronic songs with jazz elements, which I started composing in 2017.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that many people seem to limit themselves musically, either by sticking to only a few genres or by rejecting certain styles due to prejudices.
With my music, I’d love to change that and encourage people to explore new musical territories and start looking more beyond their musical horizons.

The six songs of my concept album "Path Of Eternity" blend genres like Pop, Rock, Jazz, Traditional Japanese Music, and Drum and Bass—all fused with Metalcore and Djent Metal.
I hope that this fusion of different styles, combined with a story that ties everything together, will inspire more people to listen beyond their usual boundaries, discover new genres, and ultimately help bring more attention to metal music.
