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.

Only Way9Lana

Only Way

Only Way9Lana

Released in October 2025, this ambitious work was written and composed by 9Lana.

Centered on the themes of the reasons for singing and gratitude, it portrays a stance that rejects excessive self-stylization and chooses only the inevitability of one’s own voice.

Built on a deep beat, the song structure rapidly alternates between singing and rapping, showcasing 9Lana’s strengths to the fullest.

It’s a cool number that empowers anyone striving toward their dreams and goals.

NO MORE YOUA.B.C-Z

A.B.C-Z / NO MORE YOU (Music Video)

NO MORE YOUA.B.C-Z

A straight-up dance track that portrays the emotional momentum of moving on from heartbreak.

Opening the album “CRAZY ROMANTIC!” released in October 2025, this song pairs a revivalist synth sound inspired by ’90s–’00s J-pop with a four-on-the-floor beat for a satisfying finish.

That soundscape lifts the lyrics’ push-and-pull between bravado and lingering attachment into something light and buoyant.

Give it a listen when you’re ready to put a period on a past love, step into a new you, or simply look forward with positivity.

MAGICAdo

【Ado】MAGIC

MAGICAdo

This is the first collaboration with Vocaloid producer Tsumiki, released in October as the opening theme for the anime “Cat’s Eye.” The track, where a retro vibe intersects with a Reiwa-era modern sound, is highly addictive—guaranteed to be on repeat.

The contrast between lyrics that depict the duality of a phantom thief—deception and truth, stealing and being stolen from—and Ado’s shape-shifting vocals amps up the excitement.

It’s a stylish dance tune you’ll want to play when you want to lift your mood.

Little BouquetAimer

Aimer “Little Bouquet” Music Video (Japanese theme song for the film “The Legend of Hei 2”)

Little BouquetAimer

Singer Aimer, whose one-of-a-kind husky voice captivates countless fans.

One of the title tracks from her 27th single, “Little Bouquet / Pastoral,” was selected as the Japanese theme song for the feature film The Legend of Hei 2: The Future We Seek.

The lyrics, which wrap feelings for the future we want to protect in the metaphor of a bouquet, carry a deep emotion that lingers alongside the film’s afterglow.

Hiroaki Yokoyama’s expansive arrangement and the cinematic sound woven by piano and strings evoke warmth and poignancy at once.

It’s a dramatic ballad you’ll want to listen to when you’re thinking about the bonds you share with someone precious.

Before the great love, all things return/circle back.

Before the great love, all things return/circle back.Eden

A grand, gentle, and beautiful ballad performed by one of the most popular units in the game Ensemble Stars!!.

Released digitally in October 2025, this Eden track was crafted by the classic duo of Yohei Matsui (lyrics) and Takuya Sakai (composition/arrangement).

Blending a mythic sense of scale from piano and strings with an enveloping bliss, the song feels both expansive and warmly comforting.

It signals a new maturity for the unit, previously known for their nobility and energetic presence.

Highly recommended when you’re seeking warmth for the heart.
