“NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.@” Nenashi
More Music, More Love!
A time when we need a lot of love.
Beyond language, race and culture,
Connect with people or have fun on your own.
There doesn’t seem to be a right answer.
The good thing about music.
(Nenashi)
Tower Records “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.” Official Site
Wanting people to listen purely to his music, he began his activities in 2019, singing in the common language of English and without disclosing his identity, such as his nationality or face. In 2021, as the world watched, Nenashi revealed his identity as Japanese singer Hiro-a-key, and became even more popular. On Wednesday, April 24th, he will release his first album, “Found in Tokyo,” which he created over the course of five years.
The “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE. @” poster, which was produced to commemorate this, was shot at the “big turtle STUDIOS” studio of his label, origami PRODUCTIONS. The behind-the-scenes behind-the-scenes behind-the-scenes behind-the-scenes video of the poster’s shooting, including a behind-the-scenes interview, will be released on the “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.” website on Monday, April 22nd.

■Nenashi Profile
Singer/rapper/producer. This project is by Hiro-a-key, a soul singer and producer who is free to use singing, rapping, and beatboxing. He wanted to get rid of the labels and preconceptions about sending out R&B/soul music to the world as an Asian, and to have people listen to his music purely. He began his activities singing in the common language of English and without disclosing his identity, such as his nationality or face. Hiro-a-key has traveled to more than 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, the Bahamas, Argentina, Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Kazakhstan, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland, and has come into contact with different cultures. He named himself Nenashi, as he is a rootless person. In addition to being in charge of the music for the commercial for the audio brand “Beats” featuring Doan Ritsu, he has been actively expanding his field of activities, producing, guest performing, writing lyrics and chorusing for domestic and international artists such as Halia Beamer, a Hawaii-born TikTok star with 7.2 million followers, Chara, Miliyah Kato, Aile The Shota, Sincere, LHRHND, THE SUPER FLYERS, SMOKIN’theJAZZ, maeshima soshi, and Snowk. Nenashi aka Hiro-a-key has been active as a soul singer who freely uses singing, rapping and beatboxing to express new textures with his extraordinary range and sense of groove. Even after revealing his identity, the journey of this notable multi-artist shared by music freaks all over the world continues.
