Hiroaki Nakashima's first solo single under his real name.
Released on November 1, 2025.
November 1 was a turning point in his life.
Hiroaki Nakashima is the vocalist and leader of I-ai-, a rock band that has been active in Japan and overseas since 2000.
In 2014 she performed solo for two years with the V.I.P (Vocalist I-ai-Project) solo project in France, Sweden, Ireland, Russia and Ukraine.
After that, she took a break and wrote her first autobiography under her real name in 2020, which ranked first in five categories on Amazon.
With the official start of solo activities this time, the first release "Loving you" has mellow melody reminiscent of adult love song.
The original song was already written more than a year before it was released, and since his band was recording at the same time, he says he needed to wait a year before his solo career to get his throat used to his different singing style.
In addition, he recorded the accompaniment and singing of all parts by himself, and from this work, he has set a point to challenge himself in every song.
It is a warm and soft medium ballad with an emotional and melancholy story.
