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.

Toyota Corolla II

Riding in a Corolla IIOzawa Kenji

Riding in a Corolla II by Kenji Ozawa (lyrics in detail included)

Riding in a Corolla IIOzawa Kenji

This is one of the representative songs by Kenji Ozawa, an artist who was also active as a member of Flipper’s Guitar and helped shape the Shibuya-kei sound.

As the title suggests, the song was created for a Corolla II commercial, and after the commercial became a major hit, the CD was released.

Centered around the tone of an acoustic guitar, the gentle sound conveys the warmth of everyday life.

The cheerful lyrics, which recall memories made alongside the Corolla II, are also striking, and the commercial that features this song matches the lyrics, creating a similarly joyful atmosphere.

DriveWANIMA

WANIMA’s energetic, fast-paced vocals and melodies are perfect for a car commercial, aren’t they? The song was the theme for the film OVER DRIVE, starring Masahiro Higashide and Mackenyu Arata.

It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser whether you’re driving solo or on a car trip with friends.
