Meet Japanese hip-hop artist Awich –– she has stories to tell
A female rapper named Awich calls herself the "queen of Japanese hip-hop" and she has stories to tell.
But 2022 has been something of a breakthrough year, from the release of her first major-label album "Queendom", to Vogue shoots and a performance at Tokyo's famed Budokan. On stage, she's composed but brimming with joyful swagger, her sleek long ponytail swinging behind her as she brags about the "different energy" she brings to Japan's music scene.
A relative of Awich died serving in World War II, and her grandfather told stories about sneaking on base to steal cans of soup and sharing them with locals in poverty.
