人それぞれ感じ方は違うのがルール

そうやって これまで来たんだ

時には カラ回ってたっていいって思う

いつだってブレない

どんな理由があったって イヤなものはイヤって言える

似たようで 違うようで

人と人は繋がって 時に隣りを歩いてくれるくらいでいい そのくらいでいい

素敵なアイロニー さぁキミと踊ろう

邪魔なものは 捨て去って

心想うまま 感じるまま

素敵なアイロニー もう言葉じゃなくて

出会うことの全てを もう一度 大切にしないかい? いっそ

Yohei Nishi, a member of the four-piece pop band "balconny" based in Fukuoka, will begin his solo career under the name "westman8" in 2025. Mini albums containing songs created using music generation AI will be released consecutively from February 4, 2025.

The first mini album "the City Pop vol.1" will be released on February 4, the second mini album "the Pops vol.1" on February 14, and the third mini album "the Pops vol.2" on February 24.

For vol.1, this work selects songs with "male vocals" from the songs produced, and the genres are wide-ranging, ranging from R&B, catchy dance pop, classic straight pop, and ballads, making it a lineup that will touch the hearts of people of all ages.

In particular, most of the songs on this album are "early works from when we started creating AI," and you can feel the initial impulse of starting out by feeling your way around. In addition, they deliberately did not make minor corrections such as vocal mistakes to give it the "AI flavor."

Artist Profile

  • westman8

    westman8 is the solo project of yohei nishi, a musician with a rich history including his debut with the band "Black1Neck" and his current role as a composer for the pop band "balconny." Leveraging his solid technical skills as a guitarist and bassist, along with a melodic sense honed through years of experience, he began fully integrating music generative AI into his production in 2025. Under the theme of "AI x Human," he reconstructs AI-generated tracks with a distinct human touch. This approach creates a unique City Pop and Urban sound that, while digital, retains a sense of warmth, blending nostalgia with modern innovation. His background is equally unique; he is the 4th generation successor to a family business established over a century ago, successfully balancing creative pursuits with business management. His diverse activities also include serving as a radio personality for a local FM station. Starting in 2026, he plans to launch seminars focused on AI utilization, continuing to define and present the model for the next generation of musicians.
