☆Taku Takahashi

I'll be honest, the first time that little star in front of his name caught my eye I figured it was just stylish branding, but once it clicked that ☆Taku Takahashi is a Yokohama kid who basically lives and breathes music, it all made sense. The guy is a DJ, a producer, a composer, and he raps too, which means he's quietly doing the work of about four people while making it look effortless. I always associate his sound with that polished, slightly Western port-city cool that Yokohama seems to soak into everyone, and as half of m-flo he helped shape a whole sleek, genre-blending era of J-pop and hip-hop. That low-key, let-the-music-talk confidence is the kind of cool I find genuinely magnetic.

☆Taku Takahashi is a Japanese DJ, music producer, composer, and rapper born on March 29, 1974, in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Known for the distinctive star symbol preceding his name, he is a multifaceted artist active across the Japanese music scene. His official artist page is listed under Art Image, and he maintains a presence on social media under the handle @takudj.
