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.

LiSA “Simultaneous Applause” -MUSIC CLIP- (Official Theme Song for ABEMA and TV Asahi’s FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Programs)

Unanimous Ovation LiSA

A rock song I’d like to introduce for boosting fighting spirit is “Issei no Kassai.” It’s a track LiSA wrote specifically as a theme song for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Set to an up-tempo sound, the lyrics express the mindset of athletes driving toward victory.

It also portrays the negative feelings players face before a match, making it relatable while lifting your energy.

Another highlight is the sampling of soccer chants, which makes it easy to join in and shout along.

Maximum the Hormone 'Love in America' Music Video

Love American Maximum the Hormone

Maximum the Hormone is a four-piece rock band that keeps fans fired up with aggressive live performances showcasing a loud, hard-hitting rock sound.

Their track “Koi no America,” which was first released exclusively at “Hara-Peko Favoritism Member Stores” — eateries where fans work — became a hot topic for its unprecedented rollout: the song title and lyrics were kept under wraps before release, and there was no general distribution.

Its arrangement evokes various styles of Western rock while cranking up the energy with Maximum the Hormone’s signature ensemble.

It’s a superb rock tune that invites you to listen while imagining which bands it’s paying homage to.
