AI
Japanese R&B star AI moves freely between pop, hip hop, and dance, combining American soul with the deep emotion of Japanese ballads. Her international reputation has grown through exciting collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Jim Jones, Trey Songz, Lloyd, Jeremih, Boyz II Men, K’Naan, Judith Hill, Rain, The Jacksons, and Chaka Khan.
With her trademark husky voice, she instills soulful undertones into everything from inspirational ballads to upbeat dance numbers. Especially in Japan, her music is known for its strength and substance. Despite the fame she has achieved, her down-to-earth personality shines through during every performance. As AI will tell you, she will do anything to bring a smile to her fans.
Her musical diversity even extends to co-producing a single with legendary producer Scott Storch, which delivers a powerful message aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The song became the theme for the global action initiative One Young World Japan, which encourages and supports future world leaders, where AI serves as an official Japanese ambassador.
Crossing borders through hit-making and live performances, AI has collaborated with Asia’s leading hip-hop crew MJ116 and more recently with top Japanese pop icon Daichi Miura, gaining wide exposure through terrestrial television broadcasts. Her activities continue to expand both broadly and deeply by featuring promising rapper/diva Awich and rising star ¥ellow Bucks, generating massive responses across street culture and digital markets.
Celebrating her 25th anniversary in 2025, her best-of tour spanned 32 shows nationwide and attracted a total of 100,000 attendees. The tour became a highly sought-after premium experience, with tickets extremely difficult to obtain. The tour brought courage and hope to people living in an era of uncertainty about the future, guiding them toward a better tomorrow.
With a strong, soulful sound, Japanese R&B phenomenon AI is poised to take her inspiring message of love and happiness from Japan to the world.
