The ninth single "Worth the Pain" by singer-songwriter "sty", who writes, composes and arranges all of his own music, is an introspective song based on the concept of "broken dreams, loneliness and the city at night", not unlike the dreamy mid-R&B funk sound with an 80's flavor. The lonely and delicate vocals further add to the gloomy atmosphere. His series of R&B/soul works, which are interpreted in a neo-city pop style, have not only been airplayed on the radio, but have also been selected for various playlists and have been attracting the attention of music fans.
sty [ pronounced as es-tee-wye ] is an award-winning Japanese J-POP music producer based in Tokyo, also a songwriter and a beatmaker who is notable for writing and producing Sandaime J Soul Brothers' no.1 Oricon hit song "R.Y.U.S.E.I." which won the 56th Japan Record Award (2014). He has also written and produced songs for Sandaime J Soul Brothers, SNSD/Girls' Generation, EXILE, Kumi Koda, BoA, BENI, Crystal Kay, Mamoru Miyano, VANNESS WU, Daichi Miura, Tomohisa Yamashita, BE:FIRST, ProducePandas and so on. With 15 years of expertise as a professional music producer, he also began his career as a fashionable singer and songwriter in 2021. His alternative and enigmatic musical style continues to expand his fan base, and his song "Don't Break My Heart" was selected as one of the 50 best City Pop songs of the year by Spotify in 2021.
