歩いて転がっても良いさ
Feel so fine
祈り
僕らは光
繋がっているよ
どこまでも続くblueな sky
気づけば遠いとこに来たけど
思い出してるいつも故郷
変わらない温もりにありがとう
離れても繋がってるさくらんぼ
飾らない
思い繋げる過去未来
どうしてくかは僕らの思い次第で
始めよう見たことの無い未体験
可能性が広がる夜空
届きそう手を伸ばせばほら
いつだって等身大
背伸びはしないありのままpolish one's shine
まだわからないことばかり
調べるより見るといい
踏み出そう一歩ずつ思い切って
迷い悩みを振り切って
1人
歩いて転がっても良いさ
Feel so fine
祈り
僕らは光
繋がっているよ
どこまでも続くblueな sky
あっという間流れてくminutes
まだ道半ば僕たちの日々
人なら色とりどり
赤青黄みんなが混ざれば woo wee
近づきたいほど遠回り
してた弱い自分ならもう終わり
飛び込む思いのままに
I gotta a so shining
持ち続けているhundred fifteen
登っていく朝日と
乾杯をしようよ
LIFE is so beautiful君も
解いて 踊って
楽しむだけall night long

Ando Yu
"single-minded" is a landmark release for Yu Ando, signifying a new step in his music career. While Ando has previously been involved in songwriting, this work marks the first time he has penned all the lyrics and composed all the music entirely himself. The title "Ichizu" (which can be translated as "Wholehearted" or "Single-minded") encapsulates two such "wholehearted feelings": the strong determination to overcome the struggles and difficulties faced while earnestly pursuing dreams and goals, and to remain true to one's pure passion; and an unwavering, deep affection for his hometown of Yamagata, which always serves as a source of emotional support. The lyrics feature phrases such as, "It's okay to walk and stumble alone, I feel so fine," which express the strength to embrace even the loneliness and anxiety experienced during challenges, and to forge one's own path forward. There are also lines like, "I realize I've come far, but I always remember my hometown. Thank you for the unchanging warmth. Even when apart, we're connected, cherries (sakuranbo)," symbolically depicting the bond with his hometown that connects them emotionally across physical distances, and his affection for "sakuranbo" (cherries), the iconic fruit of Yamagata. The song culminates in an emotional and groovy sound that gently resonates with listeners, inspiring courage, hope, and a sense of the warmth found in human connections.

Singer-songwriter / Rapper Born in Yamagata Prefecture, he moved to Tokyo at the age of 18. In 2019, he appeared on "Produce 101 Japan," marking the full-scale launch of his career as an artist. In 2020, he debuted as the leader of the five-member male unit, Boom Trigger. Their debut release charted on the Oricon rankings, and the group was active based in Japan. In addition to music, he also engaged in a wide range of activities, including stage plays and films. Following the group's disbandment in 2022, he participated in BMSG's audition "MISSIONx2," advancing nearly to the final round. His musicality and personality earned high praise from producer SKY-HI and fellow participants. At the end of March 2024, he began his solo career as a singer-songwriter with the release of his single "BOY." He continues to broaden the scope of his activities, for instance, by creating the "Hanagasa Ondo Rap," inspired by his local Yamagata Hanagasa Festival. In 2025, he held his first solo event, "Drink it up PARTY," with tickets selling out on the same day. His music is characterized by danceable sounds that evoke a sense of nostalgia. He expresses relatable lyrics depicting everyday scenes and emotions through a "cheerful and playful style," skillfully weaving together rap, melody, and harmony. The catchy, addictive grooves that stick in your head after just one listen, combined with his unique worldview, define Yu Ando's music.
