westman8 is a Japanese music creator who fuses AI technology with human emotion.
Based in Kumamoto, he produces AI×Human Pop
a new sound that blends the speed and precision of AI with the warmth of human sensitivity.
His music spans genres from city pop and lo-fi to neo soul, all centered around emotional soundscapes that echo through the night and the heart.
His latest single, Aki no Yonaga-san (Long Autumn Nights), is a light yet dreamy urban pop track that captures the quiet moments where stillness meets imagination.
It wraps the night - filled with both sadness and hope - in the harmony of AI and human collaboration.
westman8 is the solo project of yohei nishi, a musician with a rich history including his debut with the band "Black1Neck" and his current role as a composer for the pop band "balconny." Leveraging his solid technical skills as a guitarist and bassist, along with a melodic sense honed through years of experience, he began fully integrating music generative AI into his production in 2025. Under the theme of "AI x Human," he reconstructs AI-generated tracks with a distinct human touch. This approach creates a unique City Pop and Urban sound that, while digital, retains a sense of warmth, blending nostalgia with modern innovation. His background is equally unique; he is the 4th generation successor to a family business established over a century ago, successfully balancing creative pursuits with business management. His diverse activities also include serving as a radio personality for a local FM station. Starting in 2026, he plans to launch seminars focused on AI utilization, continuing to define and present the model for the next generation of musicians.
