Identity

[Machine Translation] HAIIRO DE ROSSI releases his latest work "Identity" on CD in 2026! The most conceptual "documentary" album in his career, Identity traces his current spiritual world, beginning with self-exploration and expanding to his relationships with the people around him, his perspective on society, and his reference to Gaza. The album is the most conceptual "documentary" album in his career, tracing his spiritual world. The keywords of this work are "identity" and "contradiction. The record of facing one's inner self head-on and moving forward, sometimes with contradictions, is engraved in words that are both sharp and gentle. The preceding song "Don't Kill" sends a strong message from Japan, "Don't pretend you don't exist, don't pretend you never existed, don't kill me," clearly presenting HAIRO DE ROSSI's position. The album closes with a spoken word letter to his beloved Chester Bennington in the outro "One More Voice", leaving a blank space for the next album and the will to "never finish". Lyricism as an "explanation of actions," vocals that are thoroughly "voiced through," and tracks that coexist with both tenderness and harshness - this is one of the most honest albums of HAIIRO DE ROSSI's career, and a straightforward statement of where he is at the moment.
