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.

This is a song by Subaru Shibutani that conveys a powerful sense of speed, surging straight ahead as if hurling one’s emotions forward.

It was written as the original theme song for the 2021 JRA Tenno Sho (Spring).

The imagery of matching one’s breathing is striking, evoking a vivid picture of jockey and horse moving as one and charging ahead.

With its tense, powerful sound and a vocal delivery that feels wrung out to the last drop, the piece compellingly communicates the momentum and strength of horse racing, where everything is staked on a brief moment.

It’s a heart-stirring song filled with love for horse racing.

Featuring Aimer’s uniquely husky and captivating voice, the track was released in January 2023 as a JRA commercial song.

Used in an animated commercial themed around the bonds between Thoroughbreds and the people connected to them, it captured the hearts of many.

The lyrics, which cheer on those chasing their dreams, encourage not only horse racing fans but everyone striving toward their goals.
