知り合いの元ジャーナリストが俺に言った言葉
「何かを遺そうという考えが生まれた瞬間に芸術家は死ぬ。
そんな愚かな考えは持たない方が良い。」
俺は100%その言葉の真意を理解しているとは言えないが
忘れられない言葉
それを片隅に始めよう

HAIIRO DE ROSSI
HAIIRO DE ROSSI releases his new album Identity -
A journey from self-reflection to social awareness, and finally, to a universal human voice. Eleven tracks where philosophy and emotion intersect.
As the title suggests, Identity explores the shifting sense of self - from introspection to collective consciousness.
Featuring producers Pigeondust, HIMURO Yoshiteru, Manakurv, and DJ MOTORA, the album maintains a cohesive aesthetic despite its diverse sonic palette.
Lyrically, HAIIRO DE ROSSI addresses the tension between nationality and individuality ("Identity"), political structures and personal conviction ("Take It Back"), and the moral outcry against violence in Gaza ("Don't Kill").
The interlude "Red.C feat. Hare Konishi" pays homage to Red Chair, while "Ethics and Beyond" with Hikaru Tanaka becomes a dialogue on the ethics of existence itself.
Toward the end, "Fifteen Springs" reflects on the lingering pain fifteen years after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and "Outro. - One More Voice" offers a prayer to Chester Bennington - a quiet but powerful continuation of his light.
In HAIIRO DE ROSSI's own words, "My lyrics are just explanations of my actions."
Identity is more than an album - it's a living document of resistance, empathy, and survival through sound.
The physical edition will be released on March 11, 2026.
