Hagibis Part 1

A Japanese hip-hop track based on real experiences from Typhoon Hagibis (Reiwa Year 1 / 2019).

It's probably another overreaction.
An ordinary day that started with that thought slowly turned into an emergency.

This song captures, through rap, the importance of imagination and preparedness revealed amid violent winds and inland flooding - preparing to evacuate, protecting family, and supporting one another as a community.

Not flashy fiction, but real fear, real decisions, and real actions.
A message to keep disasters from becoming "someone else's problem."

Rather than relying on overly heavy beats, the sound leaves deliberate space for the words and story to breathe.

"The unexpected is only something we failed to imagine."

This release is "Part 1."
The story continues in "Part 2," following a night in the evacuation shelter, the recovery after the disaster, and the journey toward rebuilding and renewal.

This is not just a song about the past.
It is a record for the future.
