<Otoha> a close friend who shared her youth with 5Leaf in their hometown of Kure.
Her strength, her scars, and the past she could never share with anyone because 5Leaf knows it all, she is able to tell a story made from memories only the two of them share. An honest and heartfelt ode from 5Leaf to Otoha.
5Leaf is a rapper from Kure, Hiroshima, Japan. With an innate sense of melody, versatile flows, and honest, relatable lyrics drawn from her complex family background and personal experiences, she brings a distinctive perspective to her music. In September 2023, she released her debut single, Way of Life. The track gained attention on YouTube and social media, reaching No. 17 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Top Songs chart in Japan. In February 2024, she followed with her second single, bittersweet, produced by ZERO (YVES&ADAMS), whose work spans the mainstream music scene. Its music video has amassed 1.5 million views on YouTube. On February 11, 2025, 5Leaf released her debut album, bud, which reached No. 3 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Top Albums chart and No. 12 on the Apple Music Hip-Hop/Rap Albums chart in Japan. That November, she expanded her artistic range with the EP En, featuring contributions from Chaki Zulu, Space Dust Club, the production team led by DJ RYOW, and Zen Masuta. In January 2026, she successfully held her first solo headline show at WWW in Shibuya, Tokyo. Reuniting with Chaki Zulu, she released JIMOTO in August 2026, followed by Otoha in September. A heartfelt tribute to a close friend from her hometown, Otoha drew further attention as its music video surpassed 600,000 YouTube views within one month of its release.
