  ShiRo is an independent artist based in Japan. On the way home at night, the slope leading to the station, the white light of vending machines, the warmth of your breath these scenes lying at the edges of daily life are carefully gathered between the textures of lo-fi/chill and JPOP-like melodies. Rather than stating things outright with grand words, he values preserving the contours of unspeakable feelings and the length of silences through sound. He began creating music because moments grew more frequent when emotions surfaced unexpectedly at night, too vast to be fully contained by words alone. The lingering resonance spilled over from short social media posts, the small tremors held inside without telling anyone. He felt that by encapsulating these within the timeframe of a song, he could gently pass them into the hands of someone else experiencing a similar night. ShiRo's music doesn't force answers upon the listener. Instead, it gently illuminates the things that glow belatedly deep within the heart. Soundwise, I build a mix with a tactile feel using a round kick, a restrained snare, a slightly swaying hat groove, layers of Rhodes or muted piano, and just a hint of tape wobble or airiness. He believes slight misalignments and breathing space resonate more deeply with the listener's heartbeat than perfectly aligned beats. Another signature is slipping in a chord that shifts color within a loop, or a note that enters a beat late. It paints those moments of sudden, inexplicable tightness in the chest those emotions without reason as shadows within the sound. His production process centers around a DAW, handling performance, programming, and editing entirely solo. Recently, I've also incorporated generative AI as another brush in my palette. Rather than relying solely on AI, I extract, select, refine, and rearrange the material, finally shaping it to my own touch. For instance, I might try dozens of variations on a single melodic phrase, search for pauses that mimic the inflection of speech, or determine the temperature of a season by how reverb lingers. While AI provides more starting points, my stance remains unchanged: ultimately, it's always my own memories and emotions that define the core of a song.
