I once uploaded it to YouTube (for a short time) and then deleted it. I just changed the image and uploaded it again. I couldn't think of any lyrics or title for this song, so I asked the song, "Who are you?" That's the title.

When I composed this song, I thought, "Oh no, I can't do this anymore. Why don't they understand no matter how many times I explain it?" That was the feeling I had when I started the song, but after adding drums and guitar, the image changed and when it was finished, it sounded like a samurai battle. And so the Ka-Bushi, or Yu-Bushi, doll was born. This doll was originally a kokeshi doll and has no arms or legs. Its clothes are my own version of samurai clothing (although they look a bit like the soy sauce containers in Kiyoken shumai mai...), and it comes with a pair of disposable chopsticks (a sword) and a rice ball pamphlet (a pouch) in a bag given to me by my late father who appeared to me in a dream.
The doll doesn't appear in the streams, but I do upload videos to YouTube.

And then I made two dolls inspired by samurai (although they're both hand-cutter warriors...). Incidentally, I feel like I understood the origins of the kanji for ninja at that moment. Someone who puts aside their blade and fights with their heart... Is that what they call a ninja... I almost feel like muttering this when I hear the opening line of this song.

Since I've just started streaming, I thought I'd stream this song as well.
