It is an honor to be involved as the theme song artist for a Hatsune Miku concert tour event. As a composer who got his start after listening to Vocaloid music, the impacts I've received from Hatsune Miku are countless, as are the blessings and curses.
I made "THUNDERBOLT" with the wish that that impact will reach many people from the beginning to the end.
I believe this will also be many people's first live event since the COVID pandemic. I poured plenty of energy into the song so the audience will be happy they came. No energy drink needed. This is a song as quick as lightning, so I hope you will listen through it many times.
Active as an illustrator, character designer, graphic designer, costume designer, and video producer. Has held exhibitions in Tokyo, France, and Taiwan, as well as at Art Fair Tokyo.
While it was an honor to be asked to produce the event's main visual, I felt a lot of pressure and had many doubts along the way. However, through thinking and working it became a great experience. There are many motifs in the costume and accessories relating to the title "Thunderbolt" - I hope you enjoy.
