It's Not a Game
"This is the survival strategy for me to survive as who I am."
The latest 7-track album from the creative projects Emo Station and Misery.
As the title "It's Not a Game" suggests, there is no music here meant for indulgence or escape.
Even the loneliness and despair of the past have been transformed into sharp weapons used for self-discipline.
From the declaration of "Not Bored Enough to Feel Lonely" to reflecting on the future two millennia from now, finding the "proper distance" with others, and scrutinizing one's own intentions.
A sequence of words, stoic and sincere, designed to prevent each day from ending as a mere "game."
This is a record of a "battle" fought through expression-written with cold self-discipline by an artist standing firmly on his own two feet.

Artist Profile

  • Emo Station

    An alternative, Hyperpop, and emo rap artist and producer based in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. Operating under a complete DIY ethos, Emo Station handles every single aspect of production from songwriting and beat making to complex engineering, mixing, and mastering. Deconstructing the boundaries of all genres, including Emo and Hyperpop, he crafts a distinctive digital soundscape reshaped by his own unique aesthetic. Navigating neurodivergent challenges with ADHD and ASD, he survived a severe crisis: the onset of schizophrenia in 2021, a paralyzing battle with heavy substance dependency, and a subsequent stay in a closed psychiatric ward following a life-threatening fall. Having made a definitive return to life, his legendary prolificacy with over 160 tracks already dropped under his past monographs, including M boy has evolved into an unyielding resolve as the brand-new Emo Station. From May to September 2026, he is executing an unprecedented campaign, dropping a staggering 66 tracks (13 singles, 3 EPs, and 5 albums) consecutively every single Wednesday. The absolute core of his artistry is Yuragi (the unstable fluctuation) the profound gray area that drifts between life and death, light and shadow, raw human voice, and digital noise. Guided by this singular philosophy, he expands his vision multi dimensionally through his anonymous AI music project Misery and his avant-garde fashion brand forM Born from the ashes of dark, agonizing nights, his music captures a rare, unfiltered glimpse of modern salvation and everyday love. This is a visceral living documentary of a creator rising from the depths, armed only with technology, sound, and a relentless will to live.
