CHEMICAL is my 8th EP. It consists of 4 beat music tracks. Heavily influenced by 90s UK Dance music. The similar artists are The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. Basically, all four songs are energetic, intense and aggressive. The genres are Big beat / Electronic rock / Breakbeat. The most relevant genre is Big beat. This is for rock audiences, suitable for outdoor and loud. Suitable for rock festivals. The first track is DEAD SYMPHONY. 123 BPM. 3m40s. This is an energetic, intense and aggressive song, especially in the chorus (The impressive sound effects in the chorus part are made from my voice). The beat and Lo-fi Hip hop piano are also unique features of this track. Second track is THERE IS LOVE. 120 BPM. 6m6s. The intro is long, but bear with it. It leads into a terrifyingly flashy and groovy tune. This was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as Primal Scream. Third track is SCARY TRUTH. 135 BPM. 9m39s. The longest track in this EP. But this is the most psychedelic and rave-like, so this is perfect for listening to while swaying back and forth. In short, this can be used as a good BGM. The last track is BEGINNING 3. 140 BPM. 6m1s. This is avant-garde and lacks any clear scale-based melody. In that sense, this may be similar to Polygon Window QUOTH. Dance music consists only of beats, sound effects, and noise. I guess I just hate common sense and preconceived notions.
THE BOY is the solo project of Japanese singer-songwriter Akihisa Ota. He was born, raised and lives in Suzuka city, rich in nature in Japan with parents and siblings. When he was in elementary school, he watched the MV of Oasis "D'You Know What I Mean?". He was shocked and started dreaming of becoming a rock 'n' roller. He grew up with various music.

Including unrecorded songs, he has written over 2000 songs. Heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, this influence can be seen in the structure of the songs. He hates existing rules. One of the objectives of the activity is to break the rules. Everything related to his music is done by him alone. Since he was a teenager, he applied for various auditions but was rejected (Excluding a few overseas festivals). Until the beginning of 2018, he has been performing live based in Nagoya for 5 years. An acoustic guitar and his voice, DJ, A rhythm machine and his voice. He used three styles differently. All were solo performances. During this period, he also experienced live performances in The USA. He performed with a rhythm machine and his voice. When he performed at a festival in New York, he was asked for an encore and after performing at a festival in Florida, he appeared on radio. Both of these happened for the first time for him. From these experiences, he realized that his music is suitable for overseas audiences. However, in addition to the mental illness he was suffering from, he developed epilepsy and gave up his live performances. Since then, he has focused his activities on promotion and distribution using the Internet.
