Her highly anticipated latest song ‘Calling 9011’ was released on her birthday, on the 11th of September. This song consisted of strong vocals and rapping along with influence from a cyber sound.
Sarah L-ee wrote the lyrics and did composition as well. She explains that she created this song with 5 feelings including love, sorrow, fear, depression, and hope.

‘Calling 9011’
lyrics: Sarah L-ee
music: Sarah L-ee, Shinnosuke
arrangement: Shinnosuke
■Comments of Sarah L-ee
In this song, I expressed my 5 feelings including love, sorrow, fear, depression, and hope.
If the bond is strong enough, people will see each other again in the end even if they are once apart.
The main character keeps looking for the loved one until he can finally meet the person again.
This song has a message that love is the strongest thing in this world.
If you need to call 911 (you need to call 119 in Japan) from the universe, you need to call up 9011.
So, the title of this song is ‘Calling 9011’ and is not ‘Calling 911’.
Please dive into this magical universe which Shinnosuke and I created.
■Comments of Shinnosuke
Recently the sound of classic House music from the 90’s is back in trend worldwide.
I made this song which has House music undertones even before the trend began. So, the timing was the best ever.
I must say I was so ahead of the time! (Laugh)
Actually, the song has the particular sound of Acid jazz within the genre of house music.
I was creating this song imagining as if the song was in a compilation album of a UK label called, ‘Junior Boy’s Own’.
Please enjoy experiencing the amazing sensation of the rhythm pattern of four on the floor!
And Sarah L-ee totally gets the beat smoothly and puts her rapping freely over the music.
I love her rapping so much and recommend it tremendously to everyone!!

“ME FIRST”: A Riveting Exploration of Friendship and Conflict by Renu Vishwakarma’s THE BIG BIOSCOPE
Renu Vishwakarma, an accomplished handicraft artisan who transitioned into filmmaking, has once again demonstrated her storytelling prowess with her latest short film, “ME FIRST.” Produced under the banner of her company, THE BIG BIOSCOPE, and directed by the talented Atul Gupta, with a story crafted by Rajeev Murthy, “ME FIRST” is a captivating narrative that explores the complexities of friendship and the unforeseen consequences of conflict. Adding to its acclaim, the film is set to participate in the prestigious Diorama Film Festival, marking a significant milestone in its journey.
Plot Summary: “ME FIRST” follows the lives of three friends who are often seen as “good for nothing” and are perpetually broke. Their monotonous lives take an unexpected turn when they manage to acquire a luxurious bungalow for a couple of days, completely free of charge. This unexpected windfall promises a break from their otherwise dreary existence.
Eager to make the most of their temporary good fortune, the friends embark on a journey of indulgence, revelry, and drinking. The bungalow, with its opulence and comfort, becomes their personal playground as they immerse themselves in the pleasures of their newfound environment. However, as the night progresses and the effects of alcohol take hold, underlying tensions begin to surface.
What starts as a joyous celebration soon turns into a heated argument. The friends, each carrying their own insecurities and unresolved issues, find themselves at odds over seemingly trivial matters. This argument marks a significant turning point in the story, transforming the light-hearted gathering into a moment of profound conflict.
Themes and Execution: “ME FIRST” delves into themes of friendship, human nature, and the impact of unaddressed emotions. The film effectively portrays how quickly camaraderie can disintegrate when personal grievances and egos clash. It underscores the fragility of relationships and the unpredictable consequences of letting emotions spiral out of control.
Renu Vishwakarma’s production expertise, coupled with Atul Gupta’s directorial vision and Rajeev Murthy’s engaging storyline, ensures that “ME FIRST” captivates the audience from the opening scene to the dramatic climax. The film’s pacing is masterfully controlled, with each scene meticulously building tension and drawing viewers deeper into the emotional landscape of the characters.
Visual and Technical Excellence: THE BIG BIOSCOPE has excelled in delivering a visually stunning and technically sound film. The bungalow, which serves as a central character in the narrative, is captured in all its grandeur, providing a stark contrast to the escalating tension among the friends. The cinematography beautifully complements the story, using lighting and camera angles to reflect the shifting moods and psychological states of the characters.
The sound design and background score further enhance the film’s impact, creating an immersive experience that keeps viewers engaged. The editing is sharp and precise, maintaining a brisk yet deliberate pace that mirrors the sudden shift from joy to conflict.
Participation in Diorama Film Festival: Adding to its accolades, “ME FIRST” is set to participate in the renowned Diorama Film Festival. This prestigious event showcases exceptional films from around the world, providing a platform for filmmakers to gain international recognition. The inclusion of “ME FIRST” in the festival is a testament to its quality and the compelling nature of its story, offering a significant boost to its visibility and reach.
Conclusion: “ME FIRST” is a testament to Renu Vishwakarma’s versatility and creativity as a filmmaker. By exploring the dynamics of friendship and the unforeseen consequences of conflict, she has crafted a story that is both relatable and thought-provoking. Under the skillful direction of Atul Gupta and with Rajeev Murthy’s compelling narrative, “ME FIRST” leaves a lasting impression on its audience, prompting reflection on the delicate balance between camaraderie and discord.
As THE BIG BIOSCOPE continues to produce innovative and engaging cinema, “ME FIRST” stands out as a significant achievement, reaffirming their commitment to bringing unique and impactful stories to the screen. The film’s participation in the Diorama Film Festival further underscores its merit, promising an exciting journey ahead for its creators and viewers alike.
