A new song by Kumika Hashimoto, who continues to create music while studying at art university in New York, handling everything from songwriting to graphic design on her own.
This song was written to mark her return to Los Angeles, a city full of dreams that she had visited by herself during her study abroad in Iowa State 5 years ago. Now, she comes back as an artist working hard in New York, carrying new and bigger goals.
The lyrics are filled with the excitement of Hollywood and reflect both the joy of the moment and a strong sense of determination for the future.
With acoustic guitar melody and synth wave in key-changing chorus, the song brings to mind the feeling of a summer night breeze in Los Angeles.

Artist Profile

  • Kumika Hashimoto

    Kumika Hashimoto is a New York based artist born in the UK, raised in Tokyo. She does all the steps herself from songwriting to artwork for the music, and is also active in the design field. After graduating from Waseda University in Japan, she studies graphic design at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She started composing music on her own while attending Waseda University, creating original songs ranging from ballads to electronic pop and R&B with themes such as what she felt in everyday life, and questions about society and common sense. From her experience learning classical piano since childhood, she is good at creating refrain melodies. Having several study abroad experiences, she even enjoys listening to the little differences in pronunciation and spelling for each language, and she studied linguistics and Japanese language education (holds a qualification called JLTCT), therefore she puts importance on how lyrics sound. Also, when studying in Iowa State as an exchange student, she took acting class to learn expressions. After her viral hit of 'hot chocolate in new york', she has garnered over 1 million views across social media and continues to gain international attention. Her recent release 'LA*PPY' captures the joy of Los Angeles and has been featured by Hollywood actors.
