Release Description (English)

"Decade, maybe I'll be with you in the city" / HAJIMETAL

After nearly a decade, Japanese musician HAJIMETAL returns with a new solo EP exploring memory, time, and the city.
The title track, "Decade (feat. Rie Kaneko)," is a quiet prayer in the form of alternative R&B-noisy yet transparent, layered with Kaneko's ethereal vocals.
Also included are "City" (2020) and "Maybe, I'll be with you" (2016), completing a 10-year arc of creation.
A genre-defying, self-produced work that reimagines J-POP from the ground up.

Artist Profile

  • HAJIMETAL

    HAJIMETAL Musician/composer/keyboardist Piano and electronics, classical and J-POP, experimental and pop. A musician who moves effortlessly between these two. Hajimetal began his solo career in 2012, debuting with the instrumental work "Super Solo". Since then, he has been involved in a wide range of creative activities, including solo works, songwriting, collaborations, and sound design. In 2015, "Super Solo 2" featured a variety of vocalists, including Kaneko Rie, Ogawa Mishio, and hiroponn, presenting a new horizon for electro-pop. The music video for the track "GIRI GAL (feat. Kaneko Rie)" has been viewed approximately 980,000 times to date, making it a memorable masterpiece. In 2025, to mark the 10th anniversary of his first album, he will release his new EP "Decade, maybe I'll be with you in the city". The three songs, which are based on the theme of "time, memory, and city," have been born out of a quiet dialogue with his previous works, resulting in delicate expressions of music and words. Rie Kaneko of REIRIE participates in all songs as a vocalist. At live performances, he focuses on solo performances, freely manipulating the piano and synthesizer. In 2014, he formed the band "mezcolanza," of which he is the leader, and has also been involved in band projects, supporting other artists, and writing songs.
