Wounded Angel

As individuals transition from adolescence to adulthood, they often encounter a crossroads where they might have to make tough decisions, including the possibility of giving up a cherished dream. This critical phase in life is marked by profound introspection and realignment of priorities. Dreams that once seemed attainable in youth may now confront the complex realities of adult responsibilities and practicalities. This period can be challenging as it involves reconciling one's aspirations with the demands and constraints of adult life. It's a time of growth and learning to balance idealism with realism, often leading to a refined understanding of personal goals and what truly matters in the long term.

Love Is...

Seishun No Finale (English version)

Rayko was asked to write this "Specific" song for  one of the most intense sic-fi series with 8.5 star IMDb rated TV show "The Man in the High Castle" . She only had 5 days to write, record, mix, master, and deliver. It needed to sound 1950 japanese pop, lofi, use only the instruments that are from the era...etc
This is a huge blessing, says Rayko! Thank you all so much for believing in her diverse song writing skills!
"The Man in the High Castle", a 1962 alternative history novel by Philip K. Dick (his work includes Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report...etc).
The series explores the world that would have resulted if the Allied Powers had lost World War II. America and much of the world have now been split between global dominating powers Japan and Germany. As tension mounts between the two, resistance builds against the oppressive regimes amid questions over what is real and what is not.

I've never written a sci-fi music before, but I believe the host of this podcast, who accepted this composition of mine to use it as the title theme for the program, contacted me by finding out that I wrote two songs for the Amazon Prime series "The Man in The High Castle ", that's based on the novel written by the late Philip K Dick, the legendary sci-fi writer. 
As the host explained what type of podcast it's going to be the song wrote itself in no time. I took time for its production of it to make it as epic as possible.

Absolute Zero

This song is our humble gift to the truest heroes of the year 2020. 
Our healthcare workers, first responders,“frontliners”, and community pillars have been sacrificing their own lives to save strangers, throughout 2020, and it ain't over yet.. We  thank officers, postal workers, grocery employees, food merchants,  shipping and delivery workers…houses of faith and worship, and all people who tirelessly work with the public. 
We will be honored if this song is sung loud in their hearts with pride, and become the anthem, knowing how much we appreciate them.

We Are The Heroes

Lolita Dark is an Epic Rock band with roots in Southern California and Japan, formed in 2012. Fronted by Shibuya-born singer/songwriter Rayko, their sound and visuals depict a world of light and dark, East meets West, and past meets present. Their sound weaves together crunching guitar riffs, progressive baselines, lush harmonies and complex melodic structures in songs that reflect both the angst and optimism of an increasingly interconnected world. 
 
Their first album, “Tokyo Status” was released in 2012,  and due to the high demand by their cult like followers Lolita Dark released their second album "Queen's Decade" in 2014. Besides selling out venues such as The House of Blues and The Viper Room,  Lolita Dark has been one of the highest demanded independent bands to open for various label acts from Japan including Gacharic Spin (Universal Music Japan),  and Back ON (Avex) at various Anime conventions throughout East and West coast. 
 
In January 2015 Lolita Dark was invited by NAMM (The National Association of Music and Merchants) to hold a panel to discuss their success, and in July Lolita Dark signed a 5 year exclusive recording/distribution contract with Sparks Japan and Universal Records Japan. 
Lolita Dark toured Japan in spring 2016 in support of their debut album "Citizen's Revenge", kicking off their tour at Shinkiba Arena.
