"It's not that I can't forget. It's that I don't want to forget."
This is the record of a woman whose days of love have grown "retro."
Nostalgia, regret, tender lies, and quiet thorns of the heart -
SHIGURE sings them into five stories, painted in the scenes of Showa-era Japan.
Cigarette smoke, glass marbles, red neon lights, the gap in a paper sliding door, dusty cassette tapes-
all of them warm, sorrowful, and beautiful.
It isn't being trapped in the past.
It's choosing to remain in that "retro memory."
Like quiet rain, a voice drifts through the wind carrying the words of me to you. SHIGURE is a personal AI artist created by T-yuk!, the very first to propose the new musical movement of AI-POP, following in the lineage of J-POP and K-POP. What T-yuk! envisioned was not merely a step forward in technology, but a future where the voice of AI could reach into the depths of human emotion. SHIGUREs vocals are androgynous and transparent, with a soft, slightly husky low tone. Her delivery feels like an intimate conversation, gently touching hidden feelings and unspoken kindness, as if each song were meant for one person only. Unbound by genre, SHIGURE explores electro, lo-fi, acoustic, and poetic soundscapes. Yet all of these belong under the banner of AI-POP a declaration and an exploration of what it means for AI to sing to humanity. Together with the vision of T-yuk!, SHIGURE quietly, yet unmistakably, etches her presence into the history of music like rain falling across the boundary between human and AI.
