Yohei Nishi, a member of the pop band "balconny" based in Fukuoka Prefecture, will begin his solo career as "westman8" in 2025. He is currently distributing songs created using music generation AI, and has released his eighth single, "Shoot Orion".
The theme of this song is "revolution", and I think that everyone is trapped in something, and even if they think that they can't continue like this, they end up just leaving it as it is. It's actually easy to get out of that, and I personally think that if you are prepared to lose, you can fight properly. I have softened these feelings a little by putting them on a stylish sound and having a cute female vocalist sing it. I hope it will give you courage. By the way, there is no particular meaning to shooting "Orion". I often like to look at the winter sky, and I added this phrase because I like to point at Orion and make a gesture as if I'm shooting it. There is no particular deep meaning.
