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.

“Like the Flow of the River” has secured an unshakable place as a heartwarming anthem.

Hibari Misora’s voice gently embraces those who have grown older, giving them the courage to live on.

Its poetic, profound lyrics offer a chance to reflect on one’s path in life and add richness to a well-lived journey.

Lyricist Yasushi Akimoto wrote of the East River in America—a place he had yet to see at the time—and infused the lyrics, composed while imagining that distant scene, with a universal message.

True to its reputation as a masterpiece, it provides quiet yet powerful support.

For self-encouragement or as a cheer for someone dear, why not listen to this song and refresh your heart?
