Tadashi’s Latest ‘hedonism.’ EP Highlights the Emotional Conflicts Behind Pursuing Short-Term Thrills

Tadashi is here to mess with your expectations. Dieter Frank, the 21-year-old Japanese-American artist who is as elusive as he is talented, drops ‘hedonism’ — a 6-song genre-bending experience that refuses to be put in a box. This project is Tadashi at his most raw, twisting and blending hyperpop, melodic hip-hop, and acoustic pop in ways that make the whole damn thing impossible to categorize. Every track hits hard, dripping with the kind of emotional weight that only someone fully embracing chaos could conjure up. Tadashi calls it ‘hedonism’ because it’s all about those moments that count — no filters, no restraints.

Tadashi’s journey into the music scene has been anything but straightforward. The kid was playing piano at age four — because music was always there, part of his DNA, not due to anyone’s insistence. Fast forward to college, and his early demos were already turning heads, making people realize there was something different going on here. But it wasn’t just about talent. Tadashi embraced his multicultural identity, singing in both Japanese and English. By 2024, he returned to Japan, performing live and making his voice heard. No limits, just a drive to create something real for Asian American artists globally.

Raw, introspective, and absolutely unfiltered, Tadashi’s lyrics cut right through. No bullshit, no holding back. People are taking notice — they’re seeing that this is someone who doesn’t just make music; he pours every ounce of himself into it. ‘Hedonism’ hits you like a rollercoaster — it’s all highs, no lows, a ride built for those ready to live for right now. Tadashi flows from raw introspection to high-energy chaos without a hitch, proving that he’s not here to fit in. He’s here to redefine the moment.
