Artist comment
■Creepy Nuts
2024 Annual Overall Song Chart No. 1
◇R-designated
We can now make a living from music too! I still feel like this, so I had no plans to make a song that would be heard all over the world. It’s really about what we want to spit out, or the release of our pent-up expressions.
◇DJ Matsunaga
Also, now that I’ve returned to a lifestyle that focuses on music, I feel like the “irresponsibility” I had before has returned. Express things that are not good as they are. I feel like I have that courage once again.
■Snow Man
1st place on the annual album chart in 2024
◇Snow Man Raul
I am very happy that Snow Man’s 4th album “RAYS” has won the Billboard JAPAN Hot Albums of the Year 2024 award.
We are truly grateful to everyone who has received our work and touched our music, and to all the encouraging staff who were involved in the production.
4th Album “RAYS” is a work that I have a lot of feelings for, and it can be seen as the culmination of the first chapter of Snow Man after his debut, sublimating the power he has honed over the four years since his debut and the support he has received into music. Although it was a challenging project, I always imagined the presence of the fans as I created it. My heart is full that such precious fans listened to it and received so many happy comments.
2025 will mark the 5th anniversary of their debut as a group, and they will begin by releasing their best album on January 22nd, their debut date. Also, we are planning to spend more time with our fans, so please look forward to it!

Last year, I was ranked number one on the Lyricist Chart and Composer Chart, which is why I was able to work in a very good sense over the past year believing in what I create and what I think is interesting. I’m glad to have received such recognition during such a fun year.
