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.

A strange blend of comfort and unease pierces the heart with its unique listening experience.

It’s a track by Harumaki Gohan, the multi-creator also known for “Meltyland Nightmare,” released in August 2025.

At first listen, the song feels gentle and pop, but soon you can sense the protagonist’s jumbled emotions—as their head and heart fall out of sync, they lose track of where their sense of self even is.

This contrast between calm and darkness leaves a powerful afterglow once the song ends.

It’s perfect for a night when you want to think things through—why not sit with it and listen closely?
