Possibly the greatest idol musician of all times, and certainly one of the most original and influential geniuses of the 21th century, Nozomi Toujou, also known as Nontan, completely erased all musical dogmas and simply reinvented music on her own terms. Formally, her style blends Jpop, Jrock, avantgarde and rock and roll, but what is unique about Toujou's music is the oblique, skewed, manic, unpredictable and demented structure of her compositions. The shrine (where she grew up) could be a better key to understand her art than any of the influences that one can hear on her songs. Along the way, Toujou also created one of the most original styles of singing ever, one that, again, revolutionized centuries of vocal music. The soft, seductive, alluring, warbling of Toujou beat the idols at their own game: it did more than express a state of mind, it redefined what a state of mind is. Toujou's singing is a force of nature.
