Overview
Hirata Yoshihisa (平田義久) is a music artist and videographer affiliated with ANARCHIC RECORD since October 18, 2021. His work fuses jazz, hip-hop, and rock into what he describes as “Tokyo Sound” — a cinematic, genre-fluid approach to music that captures the texture and energy of urban Japan. A self-described cinephile, Hirata brings narrative depth and visual storytelling sensibilities to both his music and video work.
He is also known for using the UTAU voicebank “Gekiyaku” (劇薬), integrating synthesized vocals into his productions to create a unique sonic identity that bridges human and virtual expression.
- September 2026: Transferred to KYOKAI STUDIO as part of THINKR’s studio reorganization (formerly under the ANARCHIC RECORD system).
Role and Creative Position
Hirata Yoshihisa occupies a distinctive space within the ANARCHIC RECORD roster as both a musician and a visual creator. His jazz-inflected harmonic language, combined with hip-hop rhythms and rock energy, produces a sound that feels distinctly metropolitan. The cinematic quality of his compositions — shaped by his deep appreciation of film — gives each track a sense of narrative arc and atmospheric immersion.
His use of the Gekiyaku UTAU voicebank adds a virtual singer dimension to his work, connecting him to the broader Vocaloid/UTAU production community while maintaining his identity as a multi-genre artist.

External Songwriting and Arrangement Record
Hirata Yoshihisa’s record of songs supplied externally within the KAMITSUBAKI system is as follows (he handled most of the lyrics, composition and arrangement himself):
| Release date | Song | Performer | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-07-02 | 《赤い洗礼》 | Albemuth | Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement |
| 2023-02-15 | 《感光》 | Albemuth | Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement |
| 2025-10-29 | 《Brrrrrreak It》 | TSUMITOBATSU | Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement |
| 2026-04-08 | 《桜心中》 | Orihime | Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement |
Observation on the lineage of his supplied songs: Hirata Yoshihisa’s external songs span 2022 to 2026, and all of them cluster along the SINSEKAI / Girls Revolution Project lineage of “Albemuth → TSUMITOBATSU → Orihime”. Among them, 《桜心中》 from 2026 is built on a Japanese-style lyrical mode and forms a sharp contrast with the heavy orientation of 《Brrrrrreak It》, showing that his writing can move freely between the “quiet” and the “fierce” extremes.
