For 10 years, Mitsuru worked in hospice and end of life care, facing countless final moments of human life.
Photographs displayed in hospital rooms.
Cherry blossoms quietly admired with the words This may be the last time.
Curtains softly moving in the wind.
And the proof that someone truly lived.
Through witnessing lives come to an end, Mitsuru continued asking the same question over and over:
What does it mean to live?
Aruita Kita Wadachi ni is a song born from those real experiences.
A work that reflects deeply on life, death, and the meaning of human existence.
After 13 years away from the stage, Mitsuru left the hospital, returned as an artist, and began a new journey through music.
This song marks the first original release of that comeback.
Sorrow is not the end.
Even in farewell, love continues to remain.
May small flowers bloom somewhere along the tracks you have walked in your own life.
Shiroharu is an IP artist unit formed by Mitsuru and Hikari. Centered on music and storytelling, Shiroharu transforms the stories of individuals, organizations, and businesses into artistic expressions through music, literature, and multimedia projects. The duo was formed on August 31, 2024, through the audio platform stand.fm. Within just one month of launching their activities, they reached No.1 on the platform's Music Ranking, gaining attention for their unique fusion of music and literary expression. Their creative philosophy is rooted in two themes: standing beside those who are suffering, and encouraging those who dare to pursue their dreams. Through songs, essays, stories, and other creative works, they seek to inspire hope, courage, and human connection. Mitsuru spent many years working in hospice care, accompanying countless individuals through the final stages of life. Drawing from these experiences, he creates stories and lyrics that explore life, loss, and hope. After a career in healthcare and welfare services, he chose an independent path dedicated to artistic expression through music and words. Hikari is a singer-songwriter and screenwriter whose vocals bring depth and emotion to Shiroharu's works. Her voice combines clarity and strength, breathing life into the stories they create. Prior to forming Shiroharu, both Mitsuru and Hikari had already established careers in music and literature. Their achievements include the PHP Award, the Bungei Shicho Essay Award, the Ozaki Hosai Award, and a Bronze Award in the Music Video & Vocalist category at the Houston International Film Festival. Together, they have created more than 100 original songs and have collaborated with producers from major Japanese record labels, as well as musicians who support nationally recognized artists and idol groups. Since 2025, Shiroharu has developed its own creative branding methodology, Sound Story Branding, which transforms personal and corporate narratives into music, films, written works, and other forms of artistic expression designed to create long-term value. On January 7, 2026, Mitsuru and Hikari founded HalScene Inc. Today, Shiroharu serves as the creative and philosophical core of the company, continuing to explore new possibilities at the intersection of music, storytelling, and human experience.
