kiwa and Tatsu, who were both college students, composed this song together. Tatsu, who had been highly skilled at playing acoustic guitar since that time, was attracted to the distinctive voice of kiwa, who was singing at an event held by the university's light music clubs, and approached her. On a hilltop in Kanazawa, an old town in Japan Tatsu played the guitar backing, and kiwa instantly hummed the melody, so this song was born in an instant. The two performed it together at a competition, winning awards and being invited to perform at local events. After graduation, kiwa moved to Tokyo and Tatsu moved to Toronto to do their respective jobs. Some time later, in 2022, kiwa proposed to Tatsu that they remake this song and make it into a soundtrack. They improved the song using each other's current sensibilities, but the lyrics remained the same as they were at that time. kiwa created the vocal melody and lyrics, Tatsu played guitar, created the track, mixed, and mastered it, and the jacket was designed by designer Pon. Tatsu, who has been familiar with Western music for many years since his young days in Japan, has evolved his skills in recent years, and his new sound of this song has a Japanese flavor, nostalgic for the Japanese, but certainly new to the music scene worldwide. The lyrics, which are depressive, sad, and terribly serious to call them love and romance, reveal a strong narrative side of kiwa who appears to be an ordinary person. Her straight voice is so clear that it evokes our own deepest memories. You can see an image video of this song on the kiwa Official YouTube Channel.

Artist Profile

  • kiwa

    kiwa was born in Ishikawa, an old town in Japan. As a child, she played in nature and loved Japanese poetry and old songs, sometimes crying alone at a touching song. She listened to Western music, which her mother preferred. She spent only one year of her six-year-old life in Pittsburgh, United States of America. She became a singer-songwriter while still at university, writing songs such as 'Fall Sky', which she was invited to perform at local events. Her beautiful voice, peculiar melodies and sad and passionate lyrics were highly regarded and the Kozo Suganuma Award was given to her at a competition. She moved to Tokyo after graduation and worked at a hospital as a psychiatrist. She then resumed music production at home from the end of 2021. She specialises in a style where she puts melodies and lyrics on tracks from various friends she has connected with online. She co-released 'lovers fall', 'X-laser' and 'Paradox' in 2022 under the artist name 'kyy'. She changed her name to 'kiwa' in 2023, producing tracks and providing lyrics for other artists. She uses literary expressions, but also lyrics about real thoughts and feelings that people are usually hesitant to mention. Her productions are based on J-Pop, but also cover a variety of genres such as Rock, Hiphop, Electro and Acoustic. Artists she admires include amazarashi, King Gnu, James Blunt, Sam Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and EMINEM.
