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
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.
