Not that I wanna die

I fell in love with 1rec.record's talent when I heard her song "Juni" on X (formerly Twitter), and after that we produced some short pieces of music together, and I felt that my own musical style and 1rec.record's beat went well together. I had the lyrics and melody of the chorus in my head before I met 1rec.record, but it was difficult for me to arrange it myself, so I had to put it aside for a while. I asked him if he could somehow give shape to the song, and he readily agreed and produced it. In the "Monthly Sound Source Release" project in 2023, the theme was to confront the deepest psychological level of one's inner self, and in a way, this is the culmination of that work. Over the beat of a record produced with the image of "beats that don't interfere with lyrics and messages" in mind, the lyrics "I don't want to die, but..." sum up the idea of a person who cannot be categorized as either a strong or weak person in society, who cannot flex like a rapper because he is not strong. The song is about the dilemma of being on the side of people who don't belong anywhere, people who can't even be pitied by hip-hop because they're neither strong nor weak. The music video was shot in the studio to show the out-of-this-world appearance of an office worker going to work early in the morning, and on the street to show the outward appearance of a person who does not fit in. The video was created in close consultation with Hina Komoto, who shot and edited the film, while on location.
