Aiobahn, a unique Japanese music producer/DJ with roots in EDM and a strong connection to Japan’s subculture scene, has released his fourth major-label single, ‘new world feat. Isekaijoucho’.

In April of the same year, Aiobahn made his major-label debut with the release of ‘Re: searchlight’ on avex trax, featuring Nagi Yanagi.
Then, in November, he released ‘Shiawaseni nante naranaide feat. Nanawo Akari’, a collaboration with the famous online subculture artist Nanawo Akari. This was followed in January 2024 by ‘non-reflection feat. Yui Makino’, a team-up with voice actress Yui Makino.
In November, he also released ‘u&I’ from the dance label HEXAGON, led by future house giant Don Diablo. In May 2024, he released ‘On Repeat (feat. Dan Soleil)’ from the dance music label Bitbird, headed by Dutch DJ and producer San Holo, proving his talent in the subculture and EDM scenes.
In April 2024, Aiobahn held his first self-produced otoplanet event at duo Music Exchange in Shibuya, Tokyo. He hosted four artists on the bill, including Yuka Nagase, a featured artist on ‘Sora de Oyasumi’ released in March 2023, Pasocom Music Club, Mark Robinson, and Tennyson, filling the house for a successful show.
Now, Aiobahn has released his latest song, a collaboration with Isekaijoucho, a “virtual dark singer” affiliated with KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO. This pop tune features Isekaijoucho’s powerful and ephemeral singing voice over a danceable breakbeat with an impressive backing groove.
The lyrics were written by KOCHO, who is known for writing lyrics and singing on countless anime songs. This gem of a tune has a forward-thinking worldview and a fast-paced groove, with captivating vocals that exude a worldly atmosphere. All of this is blended perfectly with Aiobahn’s intricate sound.
Since a teaser video was posted online a week before the single release, fans have left comments on social media such as, “What an incredible tag team,” “Aiobahn x Isekaijoucho is amazing,” and “Can this collaboration be true?” – showing that fans of both artists are waiting breathlessly for this dream collaboration.
The music video premiered on YouTube while the song was released is a mix of live-action and animation directed by HuMuu. It is filled with imagery that pays homage to the internet culture of the 2000s, building on the unique collaboration between Aiobahn and Isekaijoucho.
