I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

SHAMROCKUVERworld

UVERworld　『SHAMROCK』

SHAMROCKUVERworld

Selected as the band’s first TV drama theme song for the series “Dandori: Dance☆Drill,” this is the fifth single by UVERworld, a six-member rock band from Shiga Prefecture.

While UVERworld often produces complex, heavy tracks, this song is relatively light and simple.

Even so, it’s packed with inventive touches, such as a distinctive intro that flows from guitar sounds into programmed beats, and vocals that seem refreshingly straightforward at first but suddenly drop into a raspy growl mid-song.

It’s a number that’s both direct and musically engaging, offering plenty of moments to enjoy and reaffirming UVERworld’s appeal.
