頭痛いこのしがらみ
至上主義じゃ見えない周り
誰か麻痺させてよBufferin
くだらないままOverdose
邪魔出来ないDance
型にハマらせんな。
Talk to me何が嫌で何が見えて
そんなに縮こまってしょぼくれてんの？
Awesome

Open your style begin
とうに承知
欲しがれば？たらればとかは無し
Give me some more
枯渇してる眼差し
Youth back in force 物申す

ZIW, Yuka Kawabata
The EP Hot Issue marks the artist's first release in approximately five years.
This project is a collaborative work with jazz trumpeter and producer Yuka Kawabata, developed entirely through online communication and brought to fruition in a distinctly modern way.
For the first time in the artist's career, the project places songwriting at its core.
Departing from the previously established style-defined by dark, city-driven textures and the interplay of silence-the EP instead unfolds through a sequence of tracks centered on smooth, accessible, and rhythmically light soundscapes.
Translating the artist's own "hot" experiences and emotions directly into sound, the work retains a striking sense of immediacy, offering a fresh and vivid listening experience that resonates with the audience.
Artist Profile
ZIW
ZIW is a musician from Okinawa, Japan, whose expression is rooted in R&B, hip-hop, and soul, drawing deep influence from Black music. Breaking free from the conventional frame of a rapper, ZIW moves seamlessly between singing and rapping, using a distinctive vocal style to portray emotional nuances and the depth of human experience. In 2026, ZIW relocates their base from Okinawa to Tokyo. With a sharper, more refined sound and expression, ZIW's music continues to expand beyond the local scene, stepping into a new phase on a national scale.
