Vocaloid producer Hifumi has been posting music on YouTube and Niconico for years. Now active as a popular singer-songwriter, the creator released the new track Tadaima, Anata on December 3 across streaming services. A music video has also been uploaded to YouTube.
The new track has a winter feel and tells the story of the separation between a man and a woman. The title translates to ‘I’m home, honey,’ and at first glance, it seems cut and dry–but the lyrics are much deeper than even fans may expect.
Comment from Hifumi
“The theme of this song is ‘parting.’ The lyrics I wrote were pulled from my own regret–that I could have done more for the people I love.
I would have been happier if I could have been the kind of person who influenced people in positive ways with my words and my actions.
When making the song, I used a traditional Chinese instrument called a Yangqin.
If you listen closely, you can hear it at the end of the second chorus.
It goes well with Japanese instruments and has a charming and unique sound. I hope to continue incorporating different instruments into my work and take on more interesting challenges in the future.
The illustrations in the music video were created by the illustrator Sako. The delicate expression of light and the expressive portrayal of the characters really captured the atmosphere of my song.
This track is filled with my own personality, and I hope that as many people as possible can enjoy it.”

Comment from Balloon
I'm Balloon. My new song for the unit 25:00 at the Night Code is coming soon. I wrote the music while thinking of the group's story and combining that with my own feelings. I hope you listen and interpret it in your own way.© SEGA / © Colorful Palette Inc. / © Crypton Future Media, INC. www.piapro.net Information
