赤く染まる街並み 背伸びした影が迫る
気付けば時間だけが過ぎて 何ひとつ思うようにいかない
タバコは吸わないから もて余すことは無いけど
飲めないコーヒーより 苦いひと時を過ごしてる
誰かが やり残したことを
いろんな顔で 潰してゆくだけで
なんとなく
誰か言葉 コトバ 止めて
頭ん中で巡る めぐる
自分 心 こころ どこに
輝くよりも早く 失うよりも早く
心許ない瞳 眺めていた空に光るスバル
いつか見た あの時より やけに眩しく胸に突き刺さる
もういいかな もういいよと
必至に言い聞かせてる
もういいかな もういいよ
あなたに逢えれば 私に還る
ひとまず やり遂げたことを
どんな表情で眺めたらいい？
なんとなく
誰か言葉 コトバ 止めて
頭ん中で巡る めぐる
自分 心 こころ どこに
輝くよりも早く
誰か言葉 コトバ 止めて
頭ん中で巡る めぐる
自分 心 こころ どこへ
失うよりも早く
誰か言葉 コトバ 止めて
頭ん中で巡る めぐる
自分 心 こころ どこに
誰か言葉コトバ
Someone stop these words
あたま なかで めぐる めぐる
They're going round and round in my head
だれか ことば ことば とめて
Someone stop these words
あたま なかで めぐる めぐる
They're going round and round in my head

Yohei Nishi, a member of the four-piece pop band "balconny" from Fukuoka, will start his solo career under the name "westman8" in 2025. Using music generation AI, he released three consecutive mini albums in February, which attracted attention.
February 4th: 1st mini album "the City Pop vol.1"
February 14th: 2nd mini album "the Pops vol.1"
February 24th: 3rd mini album "the Pops vol.2"
And his latest work is his first concept album, "the Strange World (the Pops vol.3)". This work is themed on "Japan's uneasy social situation" and contains songs that depict dissatisfaction and conflict with modern society. All of them are representative songs that have received high praise from the YouTube channel "Balcony TV", and this work can be said to be the culmination of the first half of 2025.
A new era of J-pop born from the fusion of human sensibility and AI. This album is a must-listen, a game changer for a scene that has been stagnant for a long time.
Artist Profile
westman8
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.
