Boku no Lyric no Bouyomi (ぼくのりりっくのぼうよみ) is a rapper utaite who started uploading songs on NND from 2012. When singing as an utaite, he uses the name Shigaisen (紫外線 - lit. ultraviolet rays, and another kanji before is 市街戦 - lit. urban warfare).

He can be called shortly as Bokuriri or Lyric-kun.
In 2014, when he was in the second year of his high school, he took part in one of the largest auditions in Japan "Senkou Riot" and ended at the finalist. Thereafter, he was noticed by the producer of popular program "SCHOOL OF LOCK!" on TOKYO FM and had a chance to start his career as a professional singer at the age of 17.[1] After releasing an EP named "Parrot's Paranoia" with 4 songs under idler records label, he officially debuted as a Victor Entertaiment artist. His first album "hollow world" released on December 16, 2015.
Bokuriri has a deep, smooth and laid-back voice and it even becomes richer when he sings in long vibrato. His voice looks very sexy as an adults, despite of his teenage. As a rapper and a vocalist, he was praised mostly because of his ability of writing the lyrics and the way he combines them with the melody of sound sources to strongly expose his talented language skills. His own music style of mixing acoustic and rap, including poetic materials makes his songs become literary stories.
