頭が良いウマシカって知ってますか？
ガッコのテンスは取れても相手の心が察せない
とても素敵な花束も荷物になる物体でしかない
その中にいれば気付くわけないでしょう
まさか自分のやっている事が間違ってるはずがない
周りの人達も結局”量産型タイプ”でしかない
優しい世界を目指して 今日も誰かを蹴落として
優しい世界を夢見て 今日も誰かの靴を踏み潰す
Welcome to Strange World
ようこそ 最高不可思議な世界へ
あなたの歩んできた道のゴールはここです
きっと誰も救えない 愉快なエンディング
It’s a Cliff and you just fall off
Welcome to Strange World
逃げられない最悪な夢の世界へ
あなたは何も選ばず ここまで来たんです
きっと誰も救えない 何も救えない
Your life is a already game over

But you can always start again

Yohei Nishi, a member of the four-piece pop band "balconny" from Fukuoka, will start his solo career under the name "westman8" in 2025. Using music generation AI, he released three consecutive mini albums in February, which attracted attention.
February 4th: 1st mini album "the City Pop vol.1"
February 14th: 2nd mini album "the Pops vol.1"
February 24th: 3rd mini album "the Pops vol.2"
And his latest work is his first concept album, "the Strange World (the Pops vol.3)". This work is themed on "Japan's uneasy social situation" and contains songs that depict dissatisfaction and conflict with modern society. All of them are representative songs that have received high praise from the YouTube channel "Balcony TV", and this work can be said to be the culmination of the first half of 2025.
A new era of J-pop born from the fusion of human sensibility and AI. This album is a must-listen, a game changer for a scene that has been stagnant for a long time.
