Single "Career feat. KIKUMARU" Liner Notes

We are excited to announce the release of the single "Career feat. KIKUMARU"! ROU, a singer-songwriter and producer from Kumamoto Prefecture, is back with a new track after about a year, collaborating with a hot producer at the center of Hip Hop culture and featuring a special guest.

The producer for this track is TOMi, a DJ and music producer from Okinawa, who is also known for producing the hit single "Without You" by singer-songwriter Yo-Sea.

Joining ROU on this track is KIKUMARU, a former member of the hip-hop group KANDYTOWN, which unfortunately disbanded in 2023. KIKUMARU's participation brings a wonderful fusion of Hip Hop and RnB elements to the song.

The track features a chill vibe that perfectly matches the nostalgic atmosphere of the sunset hours. It incorporates emotional lyrics that reflect ROU's career journey, creating a smooth sound that transcends genres.

This song marks an important step for ROU as he elevates his artistry to new heights. With an album release planned for later this year, we encourage everyone to keep an eye on ROU's future activities!
