Jap'n Through! is a poetic groove that resembles Groove Pop-but not quite.
It dances through Japan's contradictions with laughter, love, and layered questions.
From Kobe's city lights to wild boars in the hills, happi coats and convenience store glow become symbols of longing, irony, and joy.
Jumping bears, festival traditions, and Kansai dialect collide in a rhythm that's playful yet reflective.
This is Groove Pop-nish-a genre born from funk, tradition, and poetic inquiry.
Raw Japan, Rough Japan, Love Japan-what does it mean to pass through?
A night when wind carries questions, and every "Nandeyanen!" echoes with affection.

Born in Tokyo, currently based in Hyogo, Japan. Graduated from the Drum Department at the Ann School of Contemporary Music. After working as a production-affiliated drummer in Tokyo, I spent several years as an IT engineer at a publicly listed company. Now, I work independently as a creator and engineer, focusing on music production and sound design. My creative approach centers on blending rhythm, technology, and emotion-crafting sound that connects across boundaries. Drawing on the groove I developed as a drummer and the structural insight from my engineering background, I aim to create music that quietly asks questions and resonates with listeners. Unbound by genre or tools, I explore Vocaloid music as a way to "speak through sound."
