THE BOY is an up-and-coming Japanese singer-songwriter who has experimented with various genres and reflected them in his music. His EP from June is still fresh in our memory, but he completed a new EP in just two months! His challenge this time is to return to his roots, rock and create music that is full of love. This work is strongly imbued with a deep love for Britpop, as can be sensed from the title. In particular, the lead track SUPERSUPERNOVA is a masterpiece that embodies the essential musical elements of Britpop: loud guitar, cool and captivating vocal and beautiful melody. To be honest, there is nothing revolutionary about the four songs on this EP. But they are overflowing with an "attitude" that is currently lacking in rock music around the world. A must-listen for anyone looking for "real rock" with songs that he writes, sings, and plays himself! SUPERSUPERNOVA's lyric video is already available.
THE BOY is the solo project of a Japanese singer-songwriter Akihisa Ota, born in 1985. He started his musical career in 2002. In 2002, when he was 17 years old, he began writing original songs using guitar and piano and recording them using a 4-track recorder. From the beginning, he has been creating music and doing all other work by himself at his parents' home in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, and that hasn't changed to this day. His distinctive feature is that he creates a wide variety of music without being bound by genre. He began applying for various auditions when he was around 20 years old, and began performing live in his late 20s, based in Nagoya. During this time, he also experienced his dream of performing live in New York, where he performed at a small festival and was asked for an encore for the first time in his life. However, in his early 30s, he developed epilepsy in addition to the mental illness he had been suffering from, and was forced to give up live performances. Since then, he has focused his activities on promotion and distribution via the Internet.
