The second solo project from TORAfic signALL HAZEL, titled "Bring it back," is a message-driven track built upon a bold and sophisticated beat produced by Takateru.

In an era where the media endlessly broadcasts sensational headlines and social networks overflow with competing notions of what is "right," people find themselves under constant pressure to define who they are. Through this song, HAZEL casts sharp questions toward the uncertainty and contradictions of a society obsessed with elusive values and relentless speed.

    HAZEL Born: October 6, 1981 Spiritual Information: Libra, Blood Type B, Year of the Rooster Allergies: Wheat, Shellfish Hometown: Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture Likes: Fishing, Kinmiya (shochu), Art, Books Biography In 1998, during high school, HAZEL first joined the soccer club at Narashino Municipal High School, then switched to the light music club where things began to take a strange turn. Although both his homeroom teacher and family recommended he pursue university, he could not find any meaning in doing so. With just 30,000 yen in his pocket, he fled during summer break, traveling alone from Oarai Port to Tomakomai by bicycle to explore Hokkaido. After graduating high school, he began a slow and peaceful life as a self-proclaimed rapper and part-time worker. One day at a club in Chiba, he was invited to join a crew with the words, Why dont you be the MC for our crew? Soon after joining, he was shocked to discover that while the term MC exists in both hip-hop and reggae, the actual roles are completely different. Realizing he had been tricked, he complained a lot but continued to enjoy activities with the crew. By some twist of fate, he ended up joining the legendary reggae collective CLUB Jamaica Crew in Nishiazabu. He eagerly began performing with them, only to be hit by the harsh reality that the working language was almost entirely Jamaican Patois and English. Thanks to his resourcefulness, he managed to get by, but the stress gradually took its toll on his mental state. At the peak of this stress, he learned that the yakitori restaurant where he worked part-time was planning to expand overseas. In 2005, he moved to Canada under the pretense of improving my patois and English skills. However, concerned about his grandmothers health, he returned to Japan. After helping a friend launch a business and going through various ups and downs, he started a reggae band called L-tific, releasing his first album. Following L-tifics breakup, he drifted between relatively calm periods as a part-time worker and semi-neet. During this time, he reconnected with his high school classmate GA-HA- at the live house Kashiwa PALOOZA. Sharing tequila shots together at the bar counter, they hit it off. From there, HAZEL and GA-HA- went on to start TORAfic signALL, continuing their journey up to the present day.
