まんまるな お月様

何が珍しいのか

寄りそう二人を見て

照れながら浮かんでら

まんまるな お月様

今日も二人を見てる

いきなりのキスシーンに

驚いて欠けていくよ

雨が降る夜も 風が吹く夜も 二人

いつもの帰り道

淡い月の上に 流れ星がひとつ 二人は

何をお願いするの?

雨が降る夜も 風が吹く夜も 二人

いつもの帰り道

淡い月の上に 流れ星がひとつ 二人は

何をお願いするの?

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.
