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.

Aiko’s song is a powerful work that depicts life’s loneliness, love, and hope for the future.

The lyrics unfold like a film, brilliantly expressing the emotional ups and downs that lurk in everyday life.

Released in January 2025, the track also drew attention as the theme song for the drama “Ensemble.” It’s included on Aiko’s 16th album, “Zanshin Zansho,” and has become a hot topic among fans.

With lyrics that resonate and a familiar, approachable melody, I think it’s a song that gently embraces those struggling with love and life.
