Natori (なとり, stylized as natori) (born January 31, 2003)[1] is a Japanese male singer-songwriter, best known for his debut single "Overdose".
His style has been described as eclectic, drawing on various genres such as Vocaloid, city pop, R&B, and Western pop music.[3]
Career
In May 2021, he began his activities by posting the demo of an original song titled "Terminal" on TikTok;[4] by mid-2022, he had shared over thirty short versions of his original songs.[5] His song "Overdose", posted in May 2022, gained significant attention, leading to the release of its full version as a digital single in September of the same year. By January 2023, the song had accumulated over 150 million total streams and had spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Japan Streaming Songs chart. It has also been covered by numerous artists, most notably Ado. As of March 2025, "Overdose" had surpassed 200 million streams, marking it as a major hit.[6]
On January 7, 2023, Natori was ranked third in the New Year's special feature "This Will Buzz This Year! BEST10" on the NTV music program "Buzz Rhythm 02".[7]
In January 2023, Spotify included him in its annual "RADAR: Early Noise" playlist, which highlights ten artists expected to have a breakthrough that year. The program has previously selected artists who have since risen to prominence in the J-pop scene, such as Official Hige Dandism, King Gnu, Fujii Kaze and Vaundy.[8]
On December 20, 2023, Natori released his first original album, Theater (劇場, Gekijō).[9] The album also had a deluxe edition, which included an additional artboard, booklet and stylised playing cards.[10]
On March 29, 2024, he held his first solo live concert, "Natori 1st ONE-MAN LIVE 'Theater'", at Zepp Haneda, followed by another performance at Zepp Bayside Osaka on April 5, 2024.[11]
In April 2024, he provided the opening song for the Wind Breaker anime series, "Absolute Zero" (絶対零度, Zettai Reido), with its official release as his first physical single on May 22.[12] Later that year, in September, a collaboration between him and Tatsuya Kitani, "Chained" (いらないもの, Iranaimono), was used as the opening song for the second season of the 2023 adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin.[13]
In December 2024, Natori announced his art book, titled Face, also known by Mirror Surface. The book contains artwork related to his past 17 song releases. It was listed on his online store, "Natorium," in limited stock; it was released on March 12, 2025 to pre-orderers.[14]
In addition to his own musical activities, Natori has written and produced songs for other artists, such as Kobo Kanaeru, Ado, Fuwa Minato, and Hoshimachi Suisei, as well as releasing collaborations with fellow J-pop artists such as Imase, Tatsuya Kitani and Taku Inoue. He also contributed to Fall Apart, a tribute album dedicated to Vocaloid producer Balloon (also known as Keina Suda), with a cover of the song "Mabel" (メーベル, Mēberu).
