MUSIC WAY PROJECT CEIPA

The "MUSIC WAY PROJECT," a collaborative project between the Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association (CEIPA) and the Toyota Group, aims to promote Japanese music globally. As part of this project, a new and noteworthy song has emerged from the "Music Production Co-writing Camp," which has been held twice a year since 2025.

"Realized," a song created for the second"SONG BRIDGE Adventures 2025 winter" event held in Tokyo in December​ ​2025, was released on October​ ​21st,​ ​2026​ ​(Wednesday) as a track on Rol3ert 's 1st album, "meet me in my head."

[About Rol3ert's"Realized"]

Rol3ert (Robert), a singer-songwriter born in the US in 2005​and raised in Japan, began his full-fledged solo career in 2025. In 2026, he won the "MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN" Radio Special Award and was selected for Spotify 's "RADAR: Early Noise 2026." His music, which primarily features English lyrics and incorporates melodies derived from J-POP, has gained him listeners both domestically and internationally.

As part of the CEIPA x TOYOTAGROUP "MUSIC WAY PROJECT," Rol3ert participated in the second co-writing camp, "SONG BRIDGE Adventures 2025 winter," held in Tokyo in December​ ​2025, following their participation in the first camp in Kyoto in May​ ​2025.

The central figure in the on-site session was ESME MORI, a versatile producer specializing in R&B, Hip Hop, and City Pop, who led imase 's "NIGHT DANCER" to a global hit. Also participating were D3adStock, an artist and top liner known for providing the song "Life Goes On" to Tade Dust, and himself a finalist in ABEMA TV 's "Rap Star 2024," and Pieru, who has a wealth of sound creation experience not only providing songs for Bullet Train but also for film scores, commercials, and TV program insert songs. Through co-writing with creators from diverse musical backgrounds, the song "Realized" was written.

"No one's coming to save me"—No one is coming to help. While the noisy, roaring guitars and industrially processed live drums create such a heavy worldview, Rol3ert 's own vocals, which float and sing effortlessly over that sound, are incredibly captivating.

This track,​ along with "With you" (Rol3ert, Johnson / single released digitally on October​ ​7th), the first domestic and international artist collaboration in the "SONG BRIDGE" series, is included in Rol3ert 's 1st album, "meet me in my head," released on October​ ​21st. We hope you will enjoy his charm to the fullest throughout the entire album.
