I tried to make it perfect
Tried to get it right
Held every little moment
Way too tight
I heard every doubt
Running circles in my head
Then I missed the line
And forgot what fear had said
No more counting
No more control
I stopped trying
And something took hold
When I let go
That's when I fly
When I stop reaching
I touch the sky
I don't know why
I don't need to know
力を抜いて
And suddenly I go
Let go
Let go
I wasn't ready
But here I go
Let go
Let go
The magic comes
When I don't know
I never found the secret
Never learned the trick
Some days I think too slowly
Then suddenly I'm quick
Maybe I'm still fragile
Maybe that's alright
I don't have to turn to steel
To make it through the night
No more forcing
No perfect role
I stopped watching
And found the flow
When I let go
That's when I fly
When I stop reaching
I touch the sky
I don't know why
I don't need to know
力を抜いて chikara wo nuite
And suddenly I go
Don't call it fearless
I still feel everything
Don't call me stronger
I didn't change a thing
Maybe all this time
I was holding on too tight
Then I opened up my hands
And everything felt light
When I let go
That's when I fly
No warning sign
No reason why
I don't know how
I don't need control
力を抜いて chikara wo nuite
And suddenly—
I go
I let go
I let go
Didn't mean to fly
But here I go

EDM POP 10 - JUST ME is not an album about finding the answer.
Some nights simply refuse to explain themselves. Other people remain unreadable. Plans disappear. Feelings change. Even our own reasons can stay unfinished. But uncertainty does not have to mean stillness. The music can keep playing. The body can keep moving. A plan can change. Someone may walk beside you-or you may walk alone.
These ten tracks follow one such night.
Musically, the album moves through catchy, melodic EDM pop with a nocturnal deep-house pulse: minor-key tension, warm bass, intimate vocals, city lights and moments of release. The sound gradually opens as the album progresses, but it never turns uncertainty into a neat victory.
Each song is written primarily in English, with one brief Japanese phrase appearing at an emotional turning point.
"wakaranai mamade" - without knowing
"mada kaeritakunai" - I don't want to go home yet
"mou sukoshidake" - just a little longer
"ato hitotsudake" - just one more
"watasi wa watasi deii" - I'm fine being me
"kikoenai" -I can't hear you
"yoteihenkou" - change of plans
"kokode ii" - right here is fine
"tikara wo nuite" -let go / stop forcing it
"konomamade" -just as it is
The Japanese is not there as decoration. It is the moment when the English narrative briefly drops its guard-the camera moves closer, the beat pulls back, and something more direct slips out.
At the center of the album is JUST ME. It is not a declaration of perfection or a conventional self-love anthem. It is something quieter: the recognition that being uncertain, strange, changeable and unfinished does not require becoming someone else.
By the final track, KEEP GOING, the album returns to the question that opened NO ANSWER TONIGHT.
There is still no answer.
The difference is that now, no answer is required.
