Hold On

LET GO

London-based artists and real-life partners Amiide and Laura Ribeiro are set to release their first collaborative single, “Better Days,” on October 10 — aligning with World Mental Health Day.
Marking a new chapter since relocating from Tokyo to London and getting married, the pair deliver a warm yet soulful blend of Hip hop and R&B, infused with the breezy rhythms of Bossa nova. Produced and mixed by Amiide, the track radiates calm optimism.
With lyrics like “You don’t have to worry about anything. From now on, only better days are coming. So let’s stay here just a little longer,” the song offers a message of hope and gentle encouragement.
The cover art was directed by New York–based graphic designer Sho Hanafusa, who has recently worked on album covers for Robert Glasper.

Better Days

Otomodatchi (Friends in Japanese)  is the duo of Japanese singer Amiide and American rapper Jyodan, who emerged from Tokyo’s multicultural music community in 2022. Recording alternative hip-hop and R&B from Amiide’s bedroom studio, they debut their first single in March 2023. Although the duo formed in 2022, they met in 2016, and through 2018-2020, they were in a band called CIRRRCLE, which disbanded in December 2020. Despite the break up, Amiide kept working with Jyodan for her solo project ‘From The Top.’ The first single from the EP ‘Better Miss Me’ was featured on BBC 1Xtra in the UK.
