This song is my 9th single. 122BPM. 1 minute 54 seconds. Everything by myself (including artwork). This song's genre is Grunge / Alternative Rock / Indie Rock (the outro has Hard Rock vibes). This song is heavy, energetic and aggressive. I was influenced by Nirvana DRAIN YOU (overall songwriting and sound) and Weezer ISLAND IN THE SUN (the refrain). I played the guitar (Stratocaster), I played the bass (Thunderbird) and I programmed the drums. I used some effects on the refrain (Uh Hu Uh Hu), so that became catchy. I mixed it so that the audience could feel the impact. I read Best Album 50 in 2023 in a rock magazine, so personally I thought rock is dead, so I created this song to revive rock music myself. I aimed for the kind of chaotic sound that I want in rock music. There are no actual plans, but I think this song has a sound that is suitable for live performances. I will upload this song on SoundCloud and YouTube on release day. I will use Submithub and SNS to promote this song.

Artist Profile

  • THE BOY

    THE BOY is the solo project of a Japanese singer-songwriter Akihisa Ota, born in 1985. He started his musical career in 2002. In 2002, when he was 17 years old, he began writing original songs using guitar and piano and recording them using a 4-track recorder. From the beginning, he has been creating music and doing all other work by himself at his parents' home in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, and that hasn't changed to this day. His distinctive feature is that he creates a wide variety of music without being bound by genre. He began applying for various auditions when he was around 20 years old, and began performing live in his late 20s, based in Nagoya. During this time, he also experienced his dream of performing live in New York, where he performed at a small festival and was asked for an encore for the first time in his life. However, in his early 30s, he developed epilepsy in addition to the mental illness he had been suffering from, and was forced to give up live performances. Since then, he has focused his activities on promotion and distribution via the Internet.
