With a heart dedicated to crafting unforgettable original music, Chihiro Nagamatsu has been illuminating the film and TV industry since 2019. As the visionary founder of Empathic Oaks Productions, she stands as an award-winning talent, captivating audiences with her unique blend of symphonic grandeur, memorable pop melodies, and the gentle touch of folk instruments.

Her repertoire boasts over 130 songs across various genres, coining the term "classy-pop" for her distinctive sound.
