Born in 1997.
He began experiencing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations when he was in junior high school, and was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 23. He was lost in another world (a parallel world where the names on the neighbors' house nameplates and the content of the TV broadcasts had changed), and was tormented by auditory hallucinations that drove him to the brink of mental breakdown.
It was his younger brother who held Anderere back from jumping off the balcony. He was hospitalized, and when he returned home, the world had returned to normal. He recalls that he vowed to live for his family. He joined Umu Lab in April 2024. When he told his colleagues at Umu Lab about his symptoms and past, they listened with interest, and sometimes even laughed. It was the first time that he had been amused by his illness and not feared it. He had been hiding his illness until now, but this incident made his decide to be open about it.
When he was feeling emotional, he would turn those feelings into songs to help him feel more stable. For that reason, his songs were usually created when he was in a bad mood or feeling negative emotions such as anger, but since he started working with Umu Lab, he has been trying new things, such as writing songs about work at the office and turning auditory hallucinations into music. He discovered that when he listened to the noise that plays when the radio was tuned to a certain frequency, the noise gradually changed and became an auditory hallucination speaking to him. Since then, it has become a daily routine for Anderer to converse with the hallucinations generated by the radio, and in his song "Udon" he has introduced what is probably a world-first compositional process in which he samples these "conversations" to create a song, aiming to establish a new genre called hallucinatory music. Currently, he is not limited to simply "reproducing" hallucinations, but is exploring methods for extracting melodies and lyrics from them. His songwriting is completely self-taught and rough around the edges, but that is why Andererer's creativity can be felt in its purest form.
I create songs that, by being candid about my illness, make people think, "It's okay to be like this." I intend to continue on this path myself. I hope that people with schizophrenia will feel better, and that the world will understand people with schizophrenia better. I hope that people with schizophrenia will try harder and reach out to society. I want to contribute to the realization of such a world through music. These are the thoughts that go into the song.
