Bedroom artist Tota has written a new song, “Aruku,” as the theme song for NetEase Games’ upcoming game, “Over Field.”
“Over Field” is an RPG where you can explore a miniature world that resembles the inside of a bottle or a clock, and enjoy a relaxing time in the town. A teaser PV for the game was also released on June 18th. You can listen to a part of the image song “Aruku” early, so be sure to check it out. Please look forward to future updates.
Tota’s new song “Tsumugu,” released in February 2023, has been streamed over 80 million times so far, topped the Billboard Japan Heatseekers Songs chart for five consecutive weeks, and dominated the charts. It also won the LINE MUSIC Trend Award, which is given to the most talked-about song in 2023. Many listeners are probably familiar with the phrase “The sky is crying.”
In addition, the new single “Nichimekuri” will be available for download from midnight on June 18th. Please keep an eye on their future activities.
Tota Comment
When I wrote this song, I arranged the words as if reminiscing on my daily walks. We meet and pass many people as we walk a long road. I think we get to know ourselves little by little as we repeat fleeting contact and eternal farewell. I am happy that you touched me and this song, even for a moment, on our long walk. I’m sure I will continue to compare myself to people whose destinations I don’t know, but I sing about wanting not to compare myself to them, and while telling myself that, I hope that one day things will go the way I want them to. Even if it takes a long time.
Overview of the game “Over Field”
“Over Field” is an RPG where you can freely explore a miniature world that imitates the real world. The visuals are particularly noteworthy, with not only the character designs but also the gameplay screen being expressed with beautiful graphics that make you feel like you’ve entered an animated movie.
In this game, players will belong to a research institute called “Rota Laboratory” and explore the mysterious and enigmatic space “Overfield”. In the Overfield, a mysterious world like a miniature spreads out, with teacups over 10 meters tall and buildings only a few millimeters in size.
As the leader of an exploration unit, the player will work together with a group of unique “salvagers” to uncover the mysteries of the Overfield by battling enemies, collecting items, and solving puzzles and other mini-games.

Activities began in 2021.
At first listen, you can feel the breadth of the lyrics and the sound, from organic band sounds to digital ambient. The lyrics are full of rare metaphors and wordplay, and the clear singing voice is easy on the ears.
In addition to using DTM to write his lyrics and songs, he also supervises the sound arrangements himself, and the diverse musical expressions that come from his production style that is in line with the trends of the next generation of bedroom artists have the potential to appeal to listeners of Generation Z and beyond.
Their signature song “Tsumugu” has been streamed over 80 million times, topped the Billboard Japan Heatseekers Songs chart for five consecutive weeks, and dominated the charts, winning the LINE MUSIC Trend Award for the most talked-about song of 2023. In April 2023, they appeared on the popular YouTube channel “THE FIRST TAKE,” and in August, they also performed at SUMMER SONIC 2023.
In 2024, they will be starting to perform live in earnest, appearing at major festivals across the country, including ARABAKI ROCK FEST, VIVA LA ROCK, JAPAN JAM, and JOIN ALIVE!
