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.

I walked through springRupo Ichinose

Walked Through Spring / Rupo Ichinose feat. Hatsune Miku

Ruepo Ichinose walked through spring

It’s a message song that conveys a strong will to keep moving forward even while carrying past pain.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Rupo Ichinose, who also wrote “alive” and “Step by step,” the track was released in 2020.

With an ambient finish, its sense of breadth, depth, and spaciousness in the sound is outstanding.

The lyrics depict regret over what the narrator has done up to now, along with their determination to keep seeking answers nonetheless.

I especially recommend it this April to you who are starting a new chapter in life while feeling uneasy.

Flowers and PromisesPonchi♪

Flowers and Promise / Ponchi♪ feat. Hatsune Miku

Flowers and Promise Ponchi♪

This is a song by Ponchi♪ submitted to the second round of the music contest “Project Sekai NEXT.” With a driving sound that evokes the excitement of a new season, the piano timbre and melodic lines impart a certain bittersweet emotion.

As suggested by the song’s tagline, “If only I had told you that day,” the lyrics portray the regret of letting the seasons pass without conveying one’s true feelings.

Even as it depicts that regret, the work conveys a powerful determination to overcome it and move forward into the future, expressed through the song’s energetic tempo and vocals.
