A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
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.

YAH YAH YAHCHAGE and ASKA

This is the 31st single by CHAGE and ASKA, used as the theme song for the TV drama “If You Turn Around, He’s There.” Its straightforward lyrics about going out to punch someone might be a cathartic message for everyone who’s stressed from their daily work.

It’s a refreshing number that blows away that sluggish feeling of not wanting to go to work.

This song centers on the sorrow of office workers and the theme of work.

In the music video, the members perform dressed as salarymen, and its somewhat provocative content also drew attention.

The lyrics aren’t cheerful, but it’s a piece that makes you feel “I’m not the only one who’s struggling.”
