Mamerico is a Japanese music duo consisting of singer-composer Maya and lyricist Kazuma Yano.[2] Their signature sound, with laid-back jazzy guitar-based recordings, is created by Swedish singer/songwriter and music producer Johan Christher Schütz.[3]
Career[edit]
Mamerico released their debut album Minuscule in 2011,[4] with eight songs featuring composer Maya performing Yano's lyrics in acoustic, jazzy arrangements arranged, performed and produced by Swedish singer/songwriter Johan Christher Schütz.[5][6] The album has since received a cult status with millions of online streams[7][8][9] and radio play around the world.[10]
Mamerico have continued to release songs yearly for the Tearful Cinema Festival in Ashiya, still collaborating with producer Schütz,[11][12][13] and both Yano and Maya have worked with Schütz outside of Mamerico; Yano and Schütz have released two songs under the name Sayonara Nero[14] and Schütz composed the music for Yano's first short film The First Feeling in My Life.[15] In 2017, Maya also recorded a song for a Japanese TV commercial for Line which was produced by Schütz, a version of Francis Lai's classic song Un homme et une femme.[16]

Though Mamerico is, formally speaking, made up of singer-composer Maya and lyricist Kazuma Yano, honorary membership should also be extended to Swedish singer-songwriter Johan Christher Schutz, who not only produced the half-hour release but plays almost all of the instruments on the group's debut album.
