伝えないと伝わらない
そう言葉にして
感情は波に乗って
ゆらりゆられて
何もできなくても
あなたのそばで
呼吸合わせて
耳を澄ます
秒針はずっと そのままで
心から言えることが
心が癒える音に言葉
子供からいずれ大人に
なるにつれてずれて見うしなう何故か
それは何か
還る記憶の奥の奥の方
さまよいながら
思い出はあなた
笑ってる姿が
拠り所
Where we go now 立ち止まって
見上げる空 果てしなくて
叶うのなら そのままのfeeling
Life is beautiful
I got it
Pain made me dutiful
I got it
Cuz life turned beautiful
伝えないと伝わらない
そう言葉にして
感情は波に乗って
ゆらりゆられて
何もできなくても
あなたのそばで
呼吸合わせて
耳を澄ます
秒針はずっと そのままで
You got it, I got it, do it, do it
Like we’ve been doing it till we get it
See it through the light, come on
Where we belong, stay as long as
Our memory lives in it
I Just wanna be your someone
Oh small world
Life living in a flash back
上がり下がり波に乗り
ここに我あり
伝えないと伝わらない
そう言葉にして
感情は波に乗って
ゆらりゆられて
何もできなくても
あなたのそばで
呼吸合わせて
耳を澄ます
秒針はずっと そのままで

SHUTO
Because his father was a photographer, he spent his childhood overseas in countries such as Indonesia and Australia. Influenced by his parents, he grew up listening to black music and Western pop from an early age. He started listening to hip-hop in his early teens while living in Australia. Around age 15, his family moved to Okinawa Prefecture. Around that time, he started writing rap lyrics in English. After graduating from high school, he moved to Tokyo. During this period, he was influenced by rappers such as BRON-K, Kouou, and CHOUJI. He aspired to develop a rap style that featured Japanese lyrics over melodies. After his time in Tokyo, he returned to Okinawa in 2019. With CHOUJI's support, he released the single Packback (under the name CHOUJI, Hiiragito feat. MuKuRo) that same year. Since then, he has pursued his creative work energetically, gaining increased attention following the release of the music video for "Suki na Koto" (2021). His appearances in major content, such as Red Bull's video project RASEN and as a featured artist on Chico Carlitos THE FIRST TAKE in 2023, generated significant buzz; both videos surpassed one million views on YouTube. Guest appearance and live performance offers rapidly increased, solidifying his status as one of Okinawa's representative artists. Hiiros style, which expresses his struggles, conflicts, and the resolve he has found through these emotions with an emotionally rich voice, possesses an originality and musicality that transcends the category of rapper alone. This has earned him high acclaim within and outside the hip-hop scene.
