A sentimental and refined City Pop journey reaches its beautiful conclusion. Renowned producer Ryū, known for a prolific career spanning 11 Vocaloid albums and projects like the virtual idol group "Lovely Melody," presents the final single from his acclaimed City Pop project featuring the vocalist, Chii.
Releasing on June 26th, the last single "Stay Close" is a deeply emotional ballad perfectly crafted for late-night drives. The voice behind these crystal-clear vocals, Chii, is actually a virtual AI vocalist brought to life by Ryū to explore new realms of musical expression. The relatable and sentimental lyrics were written by Ryū himself, capturing the bittersweet desire to freeze time and stay together forever amidst the flowing neon lights of the midnight city. Composed with the assistance of Suno, the track provides a sophisticated and stable backdrop that lets Chii's emotive performance truly shine.
This project pushes the boundaries of modern music production by integrating human creativity with cutting-edge AI tools, utilizing Nano Banana Pro for the cover art and Midjourney to expand its visual universe. On platforms like TikTok, the release is accompanied by a stunning music video featuring shifting nightscapes that perfectly capture the song's melancholic mood. Immerse yourself in this slightly sentimental late-night atmosphere for one last unforgettable ride.
Ryu started DTM in university and has been creating mainly songs that he wants to listen to. Based on J-POP, his songs feature lyrical melodies and carefully written lyrics about joy and sadness, combined with the natural singing of Hatsune Miku in a sad but easy-to-hear way. The song Groove of Love from his 6th album was used as a commercial song for the Spoon app.
