Japanese artist BAYA Wataru Kobayashi, affiliated with Taiwanese label ChynaTown, releases new song

BAYA Wataru Kobayashi, a Japanese artist living in Taiwan, released his new single “Swallow” on Friday, April 12th.

BAYA Wataru Kobayashi was born in Japan, graduated from a high school in Canada, and is currently studying at a university in Taiwan. She is currently affiliated with the Taiwanese multinational label ChynaTown, under the direction of producer Tower da Funkmasta, who has produced many popular Taiwanese artists such as ?te. In addition, is performed by Julia Wu (Wu Zhuoyuan), who has a deep connection with Japan, including singing the song “World’s End (feat. Julia Wu, 5lack)” released by STUTS in the past and Shiseido Anessa’s tie-up song “Summertime”. It is also known as the label that houses Kimberley, also known as the queen of Taiwanese R&B.

“Swallow” is a song that compares the richness of life’s choices to a “swallow,” and uses the vastness of the world as a scale to explain the smallness of worries. The song uses English, Japanese, and Chinese, and the local scenery is expressed through the Chinese lyrics, “If you look closely at Taipei 101, it’s small/You can put it in your pocket.”

The music video was shot in Taipei and the nearby city of Taoyuan, and not only recreates the production scene in the room, but also features BAYA Wataru Kobayashi floating like a swallow in the Taiwanese cityscape. In addition, BAYA Wataru Kobayashi is planning to collaborate with famous Taiwanese artists in the future.
