My Take
Ayumu Kusaka is one of those people who clearly never got the memo that you're supposed to pick a lane. Singer, composer, lyricist, actor — all of it, all at once, from Morioka of all places, which honestly makes it more interesting. There's something quietly stubborn about coming out of Morioka in Iwate and deciding you're going to write your own songs and then act in things too, like the creative appetite just wouldn't sit still. As a member of A-STEP who also took roles in Dragon Yankee on film and stage, he shows that combination — writing the words, writing the music, then stepping in front of a camera — tells you this is someone driven by expression for its own sake, not by a particular industry slot. That's the kind of artist worth paying attention to.
