Eiji Nakayama × Hayato Yamaoka
Blending the artists' shared roots in R&B and Soul with the layered textures of gospel and the uplifting energy of pop, this collaborative track explores the theme of a single voice expanding into harmony with others, weaving English and Japanese lyrics around the ideas of resonance, connection, and participation, and features audience vocals recorded at a live event held in Tokyo on July 23, 2025, which were incorporated into the backing chorus to embody its "join-in" spirit.

  • Hayato Yamaoka

    Singer & Music Producer with 150,000 followers on SNS Actively working under the concept of "creating regional possibilities through entertainment," "eliminating experiential disparities between regions," and embracing the mindset that "the best is yet to come." I am a musician, producer, and creator, born and residing in Tokushima Prefecture. I spent my high school years in Tokushima but decided to attend university in Kyoto, driven by the feeling that I couldn't pursue my passions in such a rural area. During my university years, I made my indie music debut and started my music career in earnest. After graduating in 2016, I made a major debut with a dance vocal group but later left the group. Subsequently, an ongoing throat issue worsened, leading to a doctor's stop and my return to Tokushima for surgery and a six-month hiatus from music. During this break, I lectured on music and interacted with many locals in Tokushima. Seeing them give up their dreams thinking "it's impossible while living in Tokushima," I saw reflections of my high school self and resolved to make Tokushima a place where dreams can come true. With this determination, I established an entertainment production company in Tokushima. I now manage a wide range of production businesses including academy operations, music provision, video production, design, and event booking. Since the beginning of 2023, he has been posting short videos daily featuring his favorite Western music tracks. By sincerely singing songs that have deeply influenced his own music and resonate with him, he's garnered a great deal of empathy from viewers, which led to an increase in his total social media followers from about 20,000 to 150,000 in six months. The videos that went viral, including covers of "Titanic" and "The Rose," amassed approximately 4 million views. Following the positive response to these covers, he produced a cover album featuring the most popular tracks, which was nationally released in February of the following year.
