Westman8, a member of the pop band Balconny, based in Fukuoka Prefecture, will begin his solo career in 2025.
He is currently distributing songs created using music generation AI, and has released his fifth single, Himajin Imagine.
The theme of this work is "anger at the stagnation of modern society."
The lyrics are actually based on westman8's own experiences, and he writes that the severity of slander and rumors is the same in both the real world and the online world, and that in the end, other people are other people, and he created the song with his own thoughts in mind that it is best for him to stick to his own way of life.
The song is based on a modern image of Stevie Wonder's Superstition, and since westman8 loves Rage Against the Machine in terms of anger towards society, he incorporates a slightly rap-like melody and a screaming style of singing.
Finally, the images were also created using AI, but they are just as the title suggests, and this is a work that was born miraculously, and I personally like it very much.
This is a song that I would like many people to listen to at their leisure, but some people may have a sensitive ear for it and may reject it, so I hope they will be open-minded and forgive me.
