いつか見たキミの心 その陰りが素敵で
あと何かが必要な 今のところ
散らばったままのようで満たされることはない
所詮 繋がってなどないコミュニケーション
ならば
この世界は誰がために 偽らない自分のために
今は深く息を吸って はぁ…
その形はそのままに 重ならず響いている
あと何が必要だ？ とりあえずは
言葉だけじゃなくて伝わるものもある
無理やりに綴っても溺れるだけ
ならば
この世界は誰がために 大切な息継ぎのために
今がつらく たとえ無駄でも もっと抗うんだ
この世界は誰がために 誇れるものなら この胸に
ひとまず 今 感じている 痛みは正しい
This world is so, if there is anything I can be proud of, then the pain I feel in my heart right now is right
This world is so, if there is anything I can be proud of, then the pain I feel in my heart right now is right
ならば
この世界は誰がために 大切な息継ぎのために
今がつらく たとえ無駄でも もっと抗うんだ
この世界は誰がために 誇れるものなら この胸に
ひとまず 今 感じている 痛みは正しい
This world is so, if there is anything I can be proud of, then the pain I feel in my heart right now is right

WORLD DIVE
westman8
In February 2025, "westman8" released their third single "WORLD DIVE".
Music writer "yohei nishi", who belongs to the pop band "balconny" based in Fukuoka and active nationwide, and who has produced and provided numerous songs, began releasing them under the name "westman8" in 2025 by using AI to rearrange his own songs.
The theme of this work is "the despair and hope of this world". It was created with the image of an ending theme song for an apocalyptic movie about a devastated world. It has a medium tempo, sad lyrics and a melancholy melody, and the inclusion of English lyrics creates an even more desolate atmosphere. The unique sound and worldview that sounds like both Japanese and Western music is a must-listen. It is an attractive work that you will be hooked once you hear it.
February 4, 2025: "westman8" self-produced 1st mini album "the City Pop vol.1" released
February 14: "westman8" 2nd mini album "the Pops vol.1" & 3rd mini album "the Pops vol.2" released simultaneously

Each member is active, and yohei nishi, also known as "westman8", continues to work as a music writer and is in charge of a music program for young people on a local FM station. Since 2025, they have been using music generation AI to arrange and distribute original songs.
