Fumiya, the Most Famous Japanese in the Philippines, Debuts as Artist "FuMi" & Releases New Song "BENG"

Manila, Philippines - July 12, 2024 - Artist "FuMi" Comments:

"In 2017, I first came to the Philippines. Initially, I started as a YouTuber while studying English in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, which led to appearances on television shows and activities as a talent. Since then, I have experienced a variety of roles including acting, TV talent, painting, and entrepreneurship. Through these activities, I gained influence, but to embody our mission as an individual and a company—being a bridge between the Philippines and Japan—I decided to pour my heartfelt thoughts into lyrics and share them through song, creating a place of solace for fans, Filipinos, and Japanese people alike. This led me to pursue a career as an artist. The name "FuMi" comes from the initials of "For u, Making impact," where "u" and "i" represent "you" and "I," emphasizing that I stand equal as a human before the fans and the artist. This is also why these letters are in lowercase."

About the New Song "BENG":

The title "BENG" represents the sound of a gunshot. This song embodies the idea of shattering the negative opinions like "Your dreams are too big, they can't possibly come true," which FuMi encountered while deciding to pursue a career as an artist and during the process of creating and preparing for the release of his music. The cover photo subtly includes the phrase "Your dream is too big," depicted as being shot with a gun.

On the same day as his debut, June 12th, a release event was also held at an event hall in Manila. The reason for hosting the event was to convey the meaningful lyrics of the song in person, watch the music video together, perform live, and share this special time with fans.
