I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Kano - “Calm and Coax Negotiation” [OFFICIAL] “Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!” Opening Theme

Soothing and Coaxing Negotiation Kano

This is a song by Kano, a singer who rose to popularity through her activities as a vocalist on video-sharing sites.

It was released in 2020 as her sixth single and was used as the opening theme for the anime “Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!” The lively sound arrangement, which carries a touch of funk, pairs wonderfully with the bright melody line.

Kano’s bouncy vocals are delightful as well! The lyrics, themed around the push and pull of human relationships, are also striking.

It’s an anime song I recommend when you want to boost your energy.

Revolutionary Journey AiNA THE END

The opening theme for season 2 of the popular TV anime Dandadan, known for its unique “occult × youth” world.

Written and composed by Aina The End, who, after her activities with BiSH, has shown a wide range of expression as a solo artist.

The interplay of high-velocity sound and mysterious melody is superb, perfectly matching the atmosphere of the work.

Centered on the theme of fighting to protect what’s precious while harboring a sentimental love, the song, paired with Aina The End’s edgy vocals, stirs the listener’s heart.

Released digitally in July 2025 and later issued on CD as her second single in September of the same year, it’s an upper-tune that will surely give you strength when you need courage to face something.
