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.

Allow me to introduce “Ice Birdcage,” a ballad song known for its powerful vocals.

It serves as the ending theme for the anime “Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World.” The song is presented as being sung by the character Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX, with voice actress Sora Amamiya performing the vocals.

The lyrics depict a contrast between the warmth of sunlight and the coldness of ice, hinting that the ice will eventually melt.

Another major appeal is Sora Amamiya’s clear, expansive singing voice.
