自分を出すのが下手で 話すのも苦手
前には出ない 意見を出すのも
そんな場面が
I don't like it very much
友人は多くはないが 自分を分かってる
仲間がいれば良い 言葉は要らない
そんな友と呼べる
I like that kind of thing
どちらかと言うと 人見知りなほう
他人(ひと)からはどう 見られているのだろう
口数が少ないから なかなか理解されないかな
That's lonely thing
だから！歌うんだ
感じたこと 思ったこと
いまの自分を その気持ちを
歌にして 好きなよう
自由に いまの自分を
伝えるんだ
I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you
届けたいんだ
たとえ聴いてくれなくても
分かってくれなくても
歌い続けるだけ
いつか届くと信じて
いまもこれからも
歌い続けるだけ
Right now all I have is singing
どちらかと言うと 口下手なほう
知人(ひと)からはよく 言葉が足りないと
言われているから なかなか理解されてないかな
That's lonely thing
だから！歌うんだ
感じたこと 思ったこと
いまの自分を その気持ちを
歌にして 好きなよう
自由に いまの自分を
伝えるんだ
I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you
届けたいんだ
素直な気持ち 自分の言葉
隠さずに全てを この歌にのせて
I want to express myself through my songs and convey my feelings to you
届けるんだ
Songs have saved my heart so many times
I want to write songs like that, using my own expression

Artist Profile
Chao
I used to play bass in a band, and for a while I was also the vocalist. We mainly performed original rock and punk songs. After the band broke up, I stopped making music for a long time. At the beginning of 2025, I encountered AI music generation while creating a theme song for an event, and that led me to start writing lyrics again. "I still prefer songs and music created by people over those generated by AI. I don't think that will ever change. However, starting a music career requires instruments, equipment, and technical knowledge, which always felt like a huge hurdle for me. With the arrival of generative AI, many of those barriers have been lowered. Of course, new challenges have come with it as well... but even so, I'm excited about the possibilities that this technology offers. That said, if I leave everything to AI, I don't feel any personal attachment to the songs, so I write all the lyrics myself." "As for songwriting, when I'm writing lyrics, I already see the song's imagery and hear the music in my head. That's why, once I finish writing the lyrics, I first create the jacket artwork based on that vision. After that, I use AI to generate the music that had been floating in my mind during the writing process, recreating it over and over again until it matches my image as closely as possible. Then, I fine-tune the details of the arrangement until I'm satisfied, and only then do I release the song." "Since the vocals are not human, sometimes the words come out in a strange or awkward way, and I find myself going, 'Huh? What did it just say?' But honestly, I think that's part of AI's current charm. I'm sure one day it will become flawless... but in a way, I think that might feel a little lonely."
