This song was inspired by a photograph taken on the day of yama’s very first mountain climb.
It all started with a lighthearted, pun-inspired fan project titled "yama Climbs a Mountain" (yama, yama ni noboru). However, climbing has since become their favorite hobby, and yama shares that the experience profoundly changed their outlook on life.
In 2026, yama is expanding their reach far beyond Japan and Asia, stepping onto stages across North America, Europe, and Oceania.
Starting out in a tiny six-tatami room late at night in Tokyo, yama has spent six years transforming into an artist soaring onto the global stage.
"mountain," a song depicting this personal evolution, serves as a defining anthem for the new yama.

Opening with grand strings, the music layers sound upon sound as if lighting up emotions one by one.
On their very first mountain climb, gazing out over the breathtaking landscape from the summit, yama realized a profound truth: "I was free all along."
Trapped in a six-tatami room, feeling entirely alone and believing “this is my limit”—these thoughts were nothing more than self-imposed limiters.
Mirroring the way light and emotion flood into a once-closed world, the track transitions from electronic beats to rich, live instrumentation toward the climax.
A brand-new anthem capturing the exact moment yama’s perspective on life changed forever.
