Very soon, singer-songwriter and rock musician Yutaro Ogida will return to Europe for a tour. Like last year, the tour will kick off at the end of June with shows in the UK and the Netherlands.
Born in Tokyo, Yutaro Ogida spent his younger years in New York and lived in London during his high school days, which was also where he first picked up the guitar. In the 1990s, he returned to Japan and started his professional career as a guitarist. Ogida joined several bands and played many sessions with different musicians to showcase his versatility.
Besides being active solo, he is also the co-founder of Genshi-Shinbo, a very well-known Pink Floyd tribute project in Japan. He is currently still active in several bands and thus can be found almost daily on stage in Japan thanks to all those projects. With one of the side projects, WTARO, Yutaro Ogida released a 10-song rock album titled WTARO I with rock singer and bassist Showtaro Mitsuzono.
With rock duo NANKERʼS BEST, consisting of Yutaro Ogida and Morgan Fisher, they perform regularly, often viewable via livestreams on YouTube, performing original songs as well as old classics. He is also currently in the middle of a tour as part of Takashi O’Hashi & The Sound Torus and has a special birthday concert coming up soon. In addition, he still streams from his home studio every Thursday.
An interview was recently published on AVO Magazine that gives more insight into the musician’s background, current activities and future. You can find the full interview here.
