Maki Oyama

Live at HanaCon on 16 May 2026

Maki Oyama, one of the most distinctive voices on the Japanese rock and metal scene, will be taking to our stage. As a guest vocalist on albums and at live shows, she has worked with acts including ALDIOUS and FATE GEAR, and has become an integral part of the J-rock and metal scene.

Her career began with an official tie-up song for the women’s handball team OSAKA LOVVITS. She also sang the Japanese national anthem at international handball championships – a moment guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

Numerous album releases, as well as appearances on radio, TV and other media, have made her a fixture on the scene. And now she’s bringing all that energy straight to us here in Hanover!
