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.

Among today’s music trends, one genre drawing a lot of attention is anime songs—“anisong.” It’s no longer uncommon for artists to break out after their track is chosen as an anime theme.

YOASOBI “UNDEAD” Official Music Video / Theme song for ‘Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season’

UNDEADYOASOBI

A YOASOBI song that celebrates the importance of living in the present without being bound by the past or future.

Released in July 2024 as the theme song for the anime “Monogatari Series: Off & Monster Season.” The rapidly unfolding EDM sound and ikura’s shape-shifting vocals leave a strong impression, perfectly matching the world of the story featuring vampires and apparitions.

The lyrics, which emphasize the importance of continual change rather than settling for the status quo, really resonate.
