natori
natori is a music creator who got his start in 2021 and now works on lyrics, composing, and arranging songs. Influenced by pop music in the 2000s and music internet culture, he started his musical career via social media. He posted songs online and became an overnight sensation with his track “Overdose,” which best represents his sound.
Always searching for sounds in his music that are not confined by genres, he will be a force to reckon with in the Reiwa music scene, as he’s popular with fans in their teens and has support from fans overseas.
Aside from creating his own music, he also works with other artists on their songs.
Tatsuya Kitani
There really might not be a single thing worth doing if it means letting go of the people you wish to protect or releasing the happiness that you currently hold.However, there are moments in life when you don’t give up on running the course you decided for yourself after you made that decision in a self-righteous moral sense. I believe that can be the right thing to do in some ways.
Faced with two decisions, you may become miserable as you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place – but I feel like that’s a beautiful condition of human nature. This song is dedicated to that feeling, and I hope everyone will enjoy it for what it is.

Even if all the love, kindness, and pain have turned into a curse, no matter how many seasons pass you by, it is a beautiful and down-to-earth song inspired by people who decided to protect those who need it the most. I hope you listen to it.
