うなだれたままで流れる 漂う
少しの言葉で イメージはパラダイス
つい身を投げて あなたの渦
いっそこのまま誰よりも深く
さぁ夢のまたたきが閉じる前に
刹那のサヨナラ
奏でたメロディ 解き放つのは
通り過ぎる時間が儚くて for you
届かない愛の応えに 今宵も胸を焦がす
I gave you a gift,why? …why?
奏でたメロディ 解き放つのは
通り過ぎる時間が儚くて for you
届かない愛の応えに 今宵も胸を焦がす
I gave you a gift,why? …why?

Gift
westman8
The pop band "balconny", based in Fukuoka, Japan, has started distributing music. Their first single "Gift" is a stylish and funky song with a city pop style.
"yohei nishi", who produces most of the band's songs, has started working under the new name "westman8". In 2025, as a new attempt, they rearranged their original songs using AI. Balconny is known for creating "good old Japanese pop songs", and while keeping the lyrics the same, they have reborn them in a completely different arrangement, creating a new worldview.
The song "Gift" was created more than 15 years ago, and the original song is a mellow and passionate song in the style of Latin bossa nova. This time, it has been rearranged and remade into city pop. It is a song that gives you a sense of 80's city pop.
In addition, AI has some trouble pronouncing Japanese words, but they have left them as they are. I think that this is also "the flavor of AI". I hope many people will listen to it.

Artist Profile
westman8
westman8 is the solo project of yohei nishi, a musician with a rich history including his debut with the band "Black1Neck" and his current role as a composer for the pop band "balconny." Leveraging his solid technical skills as a guitarist and bassist, along with a melodic sense honed through years of experience, he began fully integrating music generative AI into his production in 2025. Under the theme of "AI x Human," he reconstructs AI-generated tracks with a distinct human touch. This approach creates a unique City Pop and Urban sound that, while digital, retains a sense of warmth, blending nostalgia with modern innovation. His background is equally unique; he is the 4th generation successor to a family business established over a century ago, successfully balancing creative pursuits with business management. His diverse activities also include serving as a radio personality for a local FM station. Starting in 2026, he plans to launch seminars focused on AI utilization, continuing to define and present the model for the next generation of musicians.
