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.

Here are some songs performed by IA (Ia), whose vocals are provided by the popular female singer Lia, known for her clear, translucent voice.

IA’s vocals, crafted with a focus on transparency as well as gloss and firmness, leave a very refreshing impression.

At the same time, they also possess a power that can stand up to the accompaniment, making them an excellent match for intense tracks.

Just by listening to the songs collected in this article, you should be able to appreciate the wide range of musical genres in IA’s original tracks and the depth of IA’s expressiveness.
