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.

Kaela Kimura – Your Umbrella (Official Music Video)

Your umbrellaKimura Kaera

The theme song “Kimi no Kasa” for the film Sumikkogurashi: The Sky Kingdom and the Two Koko, releasing in October 2025, is, as the title suggests, a number that uses rain and umbrellas as motifs to portray the importance of someone who stays by your side.

In the lyrics written by Kaela Kimura herself, there’s a courage infused in moving forward step by step with friends, even while carrying small anxieties and complexes.

The expansive sound produced by Koichi Tsutaya is wonderful as well.

Why not listen to it together with your family or someone special?

Apophenia – Black Rabbit

apopheniakuro usagi

A digital single by Vocaloid producer and singer Kuro Usagi, slated for release in October 2025.

Centered on the psychological phenomenon of finding meaning in random events, it portrays an inner world trapped by anxiety-driven overinterpretation through symbols like fortune-telling and black cats.

A heartfelt desire to break free from the prison of meaning-making comes through both in the structure—moving from lyrics and a minimal beat into a double-speed-feel chorus—and in the song’s overall presentation.

I think it’s a great fit for introspective moods.
