After their graduation in 2008, the two Korean-Americans, Isaac and Charm formed a songwriting team as they went back to their homes in LA. Growing up with great influences from Japanese music and culture, Isaac and Charm were determined to pursue their music careers in Japan. Finally, in summer of 2010, the two set their foot in the land of their dreams. As classmates Toshi and Ogaching reunite in Japan and start a band, "Hemenway" begins to pave their way in the music industry.
The name "Hemenway" comes from a street name in Boston, where the four members lived close by and had unforgettable memories.
With their love for the Japanese culture and their ability to freely manipulate three languages (Japanese, English, and Korean), "Hemenway" will continue to pursue and create a whole new wave of music.

Hemenway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
この風に、涙を乗せ
涸(か)れるまでスピードあげて
飛び越えて行ける
きっと答えは
遥かなあの空の向こう
答えが見つからないここでは
青く染められた瞳の奥で
輝いてるのは
どこでも行ける、夢を見てる
自分なのさ
Escape
この風に、心乗せて
今すぐ君に届け
言葉尽きるまで
歌うことが
僕でいられる証だから
心が涸(か)れてしまうほどに
涙を流した夜もある
一人で背負うべき夢が
いつも重すぎて
諦めたい時は
何を、歌えばいい?
Escape
ため息をついて空を見る
Escape
ほら、輝く空へ
両手を伸ばして
そう、もう泣かないよ
きっと答えは自分だからさ
Escape
この風に、願いを乗せて
伸ばした手は未来(あす)を描く
もう怖くなどない
涙の跡
虹色に染まって飛んでゆく
あの空の向こう
