This is the image song for Osaka Monorail's "EXPO TRAIN 2025 Osaka Monorail-go," which began service on November 7, 2022 as Japan's first train wrapped around the Osaka-Kansai Expo.

Produced by TATSUYA (Tatsuya Kayama), president and producer of Osaka-based music production company RoB, the song was produced in collaboration with Osaka Monorail Co. and was featured in news on local TV stations and on web news in over a dozen countries around the world.

All of the artists belonging to Rob Corporation, G.U.M, WITHDOM, AGE, and U.for, participated in singing the song, and WITHDOM's leader, SMOOTH, who wrote the lyrics, skillfully drew lyrics with a world view linked to the keywords and themes of the Osaka/Kansai Expo.

The theme of the Expo, "connecting people to people," is also included in the song. International students living in Osaka and the general public from other countries participate as a mixed chorus, and even if they do not understand the words, they will be able to hum the melody just by listening to it once!
This song expresses such a wish by the producer TATSUYA.

  • U.for

    [U.for (Yuho)] U.for is a Japanese R&B singer with a baby face and silky voice who is active mainly in Osaka. U.for's music is characterized by the streaming-like comfort of listening to R&B/Soul flavors from the 1990s and 2000s, including chill-taste songs, nostalgic yet new New Soul songs, and songs sprinkled with sound traps, as well as U.for's originality in arrangement. On top of these various sounds, the essence of rap music scattered throughout the songs, which are sometimes intense, sometimes enveloping as if to accompany the lyrics, and sometimes straightforwardly expressing the world view of the lyrics, has gained popularity. The songs "Fader," released in 2022, and "The Call," "Meimu," "Freedom," "Yowaki na baby," and "Bang Bang," released in 2023, are on official playlists on various streaming sites. In particular, "Freedom" and "Bang Bang" have been selected in many overseas playlists and are popular among overseas listeners. In addition, the music videos for "Fader," "The Call," and "Freedom" were ranked No. 1 in the "Buzz Rhythm 02" ranking of that person by music program on Japanese TV . U.for cover song series videos are released on YouTube every Friday. Her potential to sing genre-less songs such as "Minna sora no shita / Ayaka," "Idol / YOASOBI," "Over dose / Natori," and "Tsukimisou / Novelbright" demonstrates her high ability as a singer. She sings the lead part in the image song "We are" for the "EXPO TRAIN 2025 Osaka Monorail-go", the officially designed wrapping train for the Osaka-Kansai Expo, in which WITHDOM, G.U.M, and AGE of the same company also participate. She also performs regularly at "Osaka Monorail & aer-uFES ~Road to EXPO 2025~," a live event held monthly on the concourse stage at Osaka Monorail Expo Commemorative Park Station. U.for's one-man live "FASHIONISTA" held at Music Club JANUS in Osaka on November 3, 2023, attracted an almost full house with her high stage sense, not only singing but also dancing with dancers. U.for's first official cover of Ayaka's "beautiful (Cover)" was included in their 2nd Album "FLAVA" released on October 16, 2023, and a music video was also released on YouTube. This cover work, which expresses the world view of the lyrics in a straightforward manner, allows the viewer to fully experience the appeal of U.for's songs. U.for is an R&B singer who will be in the spotlight from the latter half of 2022 to 2023, and we cannot take our eyes off of her future activities.
