Makichang

Artist

Makichang is a singer-songwriter from Okayama Prefecture, known for an acoustic guitar-driven self-accompanied style with simple, supple melodies and a vocal delivery that shakes the listener's emotions. Her signature anime contribution is 'Kemuri,' the ending theme for the suspense series 'Top Secret: The Revelation' adapted from Reiko Shimizu's manga, written and composed by Makichang herself and arranged by Taisuke Sawachika. The song is tender, intense and beautiful all at once, deepening the afterglow of an anime that wrestles with heavy themes of postmortem psychic investigation. Rising through demo-tape submissions, she has been long valued in the acoustic scene for fragile yet centered vocals and finely observed lyric writing.
