Lyric

Tokyo Nostalgia

westman8

今さら戻れない程 変わってく日常に

「ありがとう」心から伝えられるといいな

笑顔に疲れては何度も繰り返す

どれだけ大人びても うつむかないように

いつか無邪気な私が思い出せたら

その時は会いに行くよ

さめない夢なら それも良いかな

あきれるくらい切ない

季節が変わってくたび 弱さが増えていく

ひとつも掴めないまま帰れない どうしても

前に進むしかない 素顔のままでいたい

自分で選ぶのならば 振り返りはしない

いつも無邪気なあなたが離れないから

ふとしたときの ため息

さめない夢なら そのままでいい

過ぎていくのも優しい

いつか無邪気な私が思い出せたら

その時は会いに行くよ

さめない夢なら それも良いかな

あきれるくらい切ない

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

    Yohei Nishi, a Fukuoka-based bandman/music composer, is a talented musician who has produced numerous songs and provided songs to other artists. He is a former member of the happy rock band Black1Neck, which debuted as the number one band in Fukuoka, and is currently a member of the pop band Balconny, where he plays bass and writes most of the songs. In 2025, under the solo name Westman8, he began full-scale music production and distribution using AI. His high-quality pop music, which combines nostalgia and newness, has been highly praised by industry insiders. As Balconny's band activities have been scaled down since the COVID-19 pandemic, his multifaceted activities have attracted attention as the individual members' activities have expanded. He is also deeply involved in the local community, having served as a goodwill ambassador for a certain city for six years, and is active as a radio personality.
