A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

Let me introduce the theme songs from the anime Yo-kai Watch.

Yo-kai Watch originally started as a video game, and later the anime and its theme songs became massive hits, sparking a social phenomenon.

The adorable characters and the catchy songs and dances captivated both kids and adults.

The music from Yo-kai Watch is great for a nostalgic listen, and you might even discover, “Whoa, there was a song like this too!” Be sure to check it out till the end!
