成功も失敗も

すべての始まりさ

進み続けろ立ち止まるな

それが唯一の勝ち方

自分のやってること愛せ

自分の手で運命を変えろ

無限に広がるお前の可能性

迷わずに進め Blaze it up

Blaze it up 未来を掴め

一歩一歩が積み重なるストーリー

どんな壁も越えるのさ

これが俺のやり方

進む先に待つ未来の光

その先の光を捕まえろ

壁も越え 行ける何処までも

今がその時 すべてを賭けろ!

迷わずに進め Blaze it up

未来を掴め

未来を掴め

この映画の主人公は お前自身

お前が描くストーリー

    PROLOGUE II

    dj honda

[dj honda releases his first solo album in 16 years]
He releases his self-titled album "hV," his first since "hIV" in 2009.
16 years. It's not silence, it's training.
"hV" is the culmination of sounds created "by himself" -- the name represents the evolution of sounds that transcends time, and the ultimate dialogue with oneself.
This is truly a "one-man show." And a "one-man orchestra."
The heartbeat of "h" will resonate once again around the world in 2025.
That is the proof of dj honda.

Artist Profile

  • dj honda

    Moving to Tokyo at age 17, Honda began DJing at age 18. He built his career at clubs and events in the mid-1980s, and in 1992, he moved to New York alone. That same year, he competed in the DJ Battle for World Supremacy, winning second place. This historic moment, the first time a Japanese DJ's talent was recognized in the hip-hop scene, marked the beginning of dj honda's career as an artist. In 1995, he made his major label debut with the album "h," which reached #90 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. His follow-up, "h II (1997)," reached #57 and #16 on Heatseekers, and the track "Travellin' Man (feat. Mos Def)" reached #17 on Hot Rap Songs and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive weeks, establishing Honda as a Japanese DJ in the American hip-hop scene. He subsequently released "h III (2001)" and "h 2000 (1999)." He has performed with numerous artists who are considered key figures in the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, including Gangstarr, Redman, Jeru the Damaja, Mos Def, Fat Joe, M.O.P, The Beatnuts, KRS ONE, Common, De La Soul, and EPMD. In 2009, he released "h IV" simultaneously worldwide. His track "The Incredible," featuring Limp Bizkit vocalist Fred Durst, left a lasting impact that transcended genre boundaries. That same year, he returned to Japan and began producing and working domestically. He provided beats for all of the albums "Aftershock (2011)" and "Unity -h factor (2013)" by leading Japanese jazz musician Terumasa Hino, and led the band on a nationwide tour. He has since produced collaborative albums with some of Japan's leading rappers, including B.I.G.JOE's "Unfinished Connection" (2015), Benisakura's "DARK SIDE" (2019), ill-bosstino's "KINGS CROSS" (2021), SIMON JAP's "Golden Age" (2022), and TWIGY's "RAPATTACK" (2022). He has also produced genre-less remixes for artists such as GLAY and Maki Ohguro. Then, in 2025, he released his first full-length albums under his own name in 16 years, "hV" and "hV -Japan Edition-." This album, packed with the depth of his career, is a truly self-produced work, with lyrics also handled by dj honda. dj honda's continued evolution continues unabated.
