A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

Idol YOASOBI

The duo music unit YOASOBI burst onto the J-pop scene with their debut song “Yoru ni Kakeru,” which made an immediate impact and has continued to earn high acclaim both in Japan and abroad.

Their 20th digital-only single, “Idol,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime Oshi no Ko, is a hit tune that surpassed 100 million total streams in about two weeks after its release.

Its complex, wide-leaping melody is a high-difficulty challenge that, if you can nail it at karaoke, is guaranteed to be a great stress reliever.

It’s a catchy pop tune that not only feels cute but also carries a hint of madness—try to capture that atmosphere, too.
