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.

Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts

Creepy Nuts “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” × TV Anime “MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES” Collaboration Music Video #BBBB Dance

Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts

This is a track by the hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts that sparked a worldwide dance-challenge craze on social media.

It was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” the Divine Visionary Candidate Selection Exam arc.

The way the protagonist overturns the norms of the magic world using nothing but his own muscles is elevated into lyrics that mirror R-Shitei’s own life story—it’s the kind of thing that really fires you up.

Over an inventive track crafted by DJ Matsunaga, this song repeats spell-like phrases, making it incredibly addictive.

The explosive momentum is clear from the fact that the anime’s OP video, released in January 2024, surpassed 10 million views in just two weeks.

Belt out the chorus with your friends at karaoke and you’re guaranteed an absolute blast.

Dandadan | A Slice of Peach | Soundtrack HQ

A Slice of PeachKensuke Ushio

This is a track that colors the world of the hit anime Dandadan, which depicts intense battles with ghosts and aliens as well as a bittersweet romance.

The music is by Kensuke Ushio, known for works like Chainsaw Man and A Silent Voice.

It’s included on the album Dan Da Dan (Original Series Soundtrack), released in December 2024.

The piece is marked by a heartbeat-like pulsing beat and melodious synth tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Thanks to a sound design that seamlessly blends the thrill of an unpredictable story with the sparkle of the protagonists’ youth, it’s a song that fills you with excitement just by listening.

It’s recommended not only for fans of the story but also for anyone who wants to add some color to their everyday life.
