Following the Impact of Y LIFE 3 - otuyyuto to Release Fully Self Produced New Single "100%" on October 14
An introspective approach exposing vulnerability and inner conflict, bringing an outside perspective to push the Japanese hip-hop scene forward.
TOKYO : Artist and producer otuyyuto will officially release his new, fully self-produced single, "100%", on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 00:00 JST across all major streaming platforms.
Carrying forward the spirit of his previous release Y LIFE 3, this new track serves as a re-introduction-an intro designed to bring a fresh perspective to the Japanese rap scene and encourage its overall evolution. Infusing an outside worldview with deeply personal, introspective expression, otuyyuto challenges existing boundaries.
"100%" is structured around two contrasting emotional dimensions:
Side A: "Vulnerability and Self Acceptance" embracing one's own weaknesses and flaws.
Side B: "Conflict and Frustration"-the pain of facing rejection from others due to exposing that very vulnerability.
Rather than presenting these as a black-and-white binary, the track treats both as interconnected parts of a single, larger picture, capturing the complex, multi-layered spectrum of human emotion beneath the surface.
[otuyyuto Statement]
"This track is an introduction meant to challenge people once again to realize what Y LIFE 3 signifies-not only within the Japanese rap scene, but as a piece of introspective expression. It's split into two distinct sides: one accepting my own vulnerability and faults, and the other expressing the frustration of not being accepted by others because of that openness. However, things are not always black and white. Both sides are parts of a whole, and the layers go far beyond just two choices."
"100%" will be available worldwide on all major digital music platforms starting Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 00:00 JST.
