The beat is a heartbeat — feel it drop
Street voices rise and never stop
HV
Bass cuts the dark
The kick hits deep
From Sapporo, the rhythm speaks
Drop the needle — time will spin
Samples tell the soul within
No borders here
We move as one
No words — just rhythm, beat, and drum
The Language of Rhythm
No need for words!
The Language of Rhythm
The rhythm speaks!
Life is a track — fate rides the groove
Kicks hit hard — the snare won't move
Horns like wind, ancestors cry
Through the streets their voices fly
No passport, beat is our guide
Rhythm flows, and truth won't hide
The Language of Rhythm
No need for words!
The Language of Rhythm
The rhythm speaks!
Unstoppable — this sound’s alive
Forever spinning, we survive

One Man Orchestra
dj honda
[dj honda releases two new solo albums simultaneously, his first in 16 years]
He has released two self-titled albums, "hV," his first since "hIV" in 2009.
16 years. It's not silence, it's discipline.
"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.
It is truly a "one-man show." And a "one-man orchestra."
In 2025, the heartbeat of h will resonate once again around the world.
That is the proof of dj honda.
