“Days in Tokyo” is a three-track trip-hop / dreampop journey shaped by rain-soaked nights, quiet heartbreak, and the fragile magic of everyday moments. Each song blends whispered vocals, floating analog pads, and intimate city ambience, capturing the feeling of wandering Tokyo with headphones on—half dreaming, half remembering.

“Sotto Hikaru (Softly Shining)” drifts like morning light through a small apartment window. Gentle Rhodes chords, soft spoken Japanese lines, and warm sax melodies paint a story of quiet love—one that glows softly, almost shyly, in the spaces between words.

“Pretty Disguise” reflects the modern mask we wear to survive the world. Trip-hop drums, dreamy synth haze, and aching vocals unravel the distance between who we are and who we pretend to be. It’s delicate, melancholic, and painfully honest.

“Aoni Tokete (Melt Into Blue)” echoes the feeling of walking alone beneath neon rain. Japanese vocals melt into soft sax lines and Rhodes textures, telling a story of unspoken love fading into the night. A cinematic lullaby for those who wish they had said “I love you” a little sooner.

“Days in Tokyo” is a soft, rainy postcard of longing — three chapters of a heart learning how to glow again.
