On the 472nd episode of the YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE,” Kocchino Kento, who is active in a wide range of fields including music production, video production, and design, made his first appearance and performed “Hayorokonde” (premiere from 10pm on August 30th).

Kocchino Kento is a multi-creator with the catchphrase “Green Multi-Artist.” During his university days, he was a member of an a cappella club and won the national “Acapella Spirits” competition for two consecutive years, proving that he has a high level of singing ability.

“Hayorokonde” is a smash hit that has garnered over 8 billion views on social media, gaining popularity not only in Japan but also overseas, having topped the Billboard JAPAN Heatseekers Songs and YouTube’s Top 100 most popular music videos, as well as Spotify’s Viral 50 in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.

This powerful yet somehow delicate song was created based on his own experiences and was recorded in one take with a special arrangement exclusive to “THE FIRST TAKE.”

■Comments from Kocchino Kento
It’s different from live performances and recordings.

In this breathtaking tension
I’m so excited

While playing
The sounds of the band’s tense breathing
It can be heard directly

I think it was a truly magical experience.
It was “so” much fun!
