Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

I can’t stop crying at this heartbreaking story of someone stepping back on their own.

This is the song that truly made Official HIGE DANDism a nationwide name.

It’s easy to be captivated by Satoshi Fujihara’s beautiful vocals, but the real charm lies in the lyrics that portray the protagonist’s emotions.

Realizing he won’t end up with the one he loves, the song conveys the feelings of a man who chooses to bow out.

He can no longer say “I love you”; all he can do is praise the other person’s beauty.

The world it paints—where dignity and lingering attachment intersect—tightens your chest, doesn’t it? Released as a single in May 2019, it became a massive hit as the theme song for the film The Confidence Man JP, spending 34 consecutive weeks at No.

1 on Billboard Japan’s streaming chart.

On nights when you’re tormented by unrequited love, it’s sure to gently stay by your side.
