Shingo.S, active on the front lines, producing many representative songs for major artists.

Osaka College of Music (Location: Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture; President: Yuki Morimoto) will welcome music producer Shingo.S as a Special Lecturer for the 'Singer-Songwriting Course' starting in April 2026. He will return his advanced production skills and rich experience cultivated in the field back into education, further promoting music education that fuses theory and practice.

This course was established in April 2023 within the 'Popular Entertainment Major'. Under direct guidance from active frontline professionals, the course provides tailor-made instruction that brings out individual personalities, creating a pathway to debut through regular project presentations and auditions. Additionally, it is a practical training program equipped with a curriculum to foster the 'self-power (Ji-dikara) = the power to improve and motivate oneself' essential for modern artists.

The core of the instruction is led by Special Professor RUNG HYANG, a singer-songwriter and producer who presides over the 'Rung Hyang Seminar,' which has produced numerous artists such as eill and Eito. She herself has made a major debut and continues to play an important role in the music scene.

Special Professor RUNG HYANG commented, 'Mr. Shingo.S is a sound producer/beatmaker who has worked on numerous representative songs for major artists and is active on the front lines of the music scene. He has deep knowledge of sequencing and beat-making, which are essential for modern music production, and is a rare talent who can give back the experience he has gained in the production field to education.'

To further promote the 'practical music education' advocated by the university, Shingo.S will instruct students from both theoretical and practical aspects, taking on the role of cultivating production skills that are effective in the professional field. Special Professor RUNG HYANG cites the following as expected effects on the educational environment:

- Strengthening the educational system to allow direct learning of industry-standard production skills
- Introduction of modern composition approaches centered on sequencing and beat-making
- Construction of a new creative environment where 'you can compose even if you cannot play an instrument'
- Realization of flexible and warm guidance that draws out students' creativity

As a result, an environment where students can learn diverse music production methods without being bound by conventional frameworks will be prepared, evolving into a course where students can freely explore their own expression.

At this event, you can actually sing while listening to tracks and challenge yourself to make melodies! Let's record the melody everyone made and listen to the completed music! This course is recommended not only for those who aim to become singer-songwriters, but also for those who cannot play instruments but are interested in writing lyrics and composing, and those who love singing and want to make their own songs but lack confidence.
