Motohiro Hata, known in Japan as 秦基博, is a Japanese singer-songwriter whose music blends J-pop and anison with a warm, restrained melodic style. Born on October 11, 1980, in Nichinan, Japan, he debuted in 2008 and quickly became known for clear vocal delivery, intimate songwriting, and melodies that balance emotional tension with understated arrangements.
Across his career, Hata has released several albums and singles while working with other artists and composers, steadily building a catalog centered on melody and emotional clarity. His songs have helped define his identity within contemporary Japanese music, and his connection to anime has widened his audience beyond the pop scene. He is especially known for contributing the opening theme to Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, and in 2026 he also handled the opening theme for the anime かけ恋. In the same period, he wrote the theme song for 未来のムスコ, showing how his songwriting continues to move between anime-related projects and broader Japanese pop without losing the personal style that defines his work.
