EYE VDJ MASA Unveils New Single 'SPACE DANCE'

Today marks the release of 'SPACE DANCE,' a groundbreaking new single by EYE VDJ MASA (Masahiro Muto), an artist who has consistently championed the integration of technology in music creation. This track is notably composed using gaze input technology, offering a unique perspective on the limitations artists can face.

The release aligns with the upcoming MOVE FES. 2026, a music festival designed to raise awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), which will take place on June 20, 2026, at EX Theater Roppongi in Tokyo. This festival celebrates its 10th anniversary and aims to convey the theme 'THANKS × RESPECT. Ten Years of Gratitude and Respect.' Along with EYE VDJ MASA, the festival promises an array of performances by notable artists such as Kiyoharu, Takahito Uchisawa (androp), and Aimi Sekiguchi, among others. Additionally, there will be insightful ALS talks featuring leading researchers from institutions such as NTT and the University of Tokyo.

A Dance Anthem Imagining the Cosmos

'SPACE DANCE' represents more than just a musical release; it is an embodiment of hope and gratitude, reflecting the support that the ALS community has received over the past decade. Masahiro Muto's use of gaze input technology enables a fresh artistic expression, allowing him to transcend physical limitations through music. The song encapsulates the vastness of space and the euphoria of movement, inviting listeners to celebrate the joy of dance and music regardless of their circumstances.

In Masahiro's words, 'I released the new song 'SPACE DANCE' in preparation for MOVE FES. 2026. It has been crafted as a dance number that reflects the essence of space. I encourage everyone to listen on various music streaming services and come join us at MOVE FES. 2026 on June 20th for a wonderful celebration! We look forward to seeing you all!'

Understanding ALS

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no known cure as of 2025. It affects approximately 10,000 individuals in Japan alone. The disease gradually impairs motor function while typically preserving cognitive abilities. Understanding this disease, and supporting those affected, is crucial as the numbers of cases continue to rise globally.
