聞こえるか 光と闇の狭間
叫ぶ声は また夜に溶けてゆく
逃げるなよ 傷は誇りになる
影を抜け出し 未来を取り戻せ
まだ消えない 鼓動のざわめき
遠く響く 希望の足音
束縛 制約
掴め 栄光
断ち切れ 幻想
止まれ 妄想
抜け出せ 現状
壊せ 残像
試練も 上等
狙うは 頂上
濁る夜に 瞬く火花
闇を越えて 鼓動が鳴り響く
逃げるなよ 心の奥の声
迷う心も 情熱に変えてゆけ
自分を誇りに 夢だけ忘れず
沈む影から 光を取り戻せ
限界 宿命
砕け 日常
目覚めろ 本能
燃やせ 激情
抑える 衝動
ムズイ 相当
試練も 上等
狙うは 頂上
揺れる声は 夜を切り裂いて
震える夢が 不安を叩き壊す
立ち向かえ 恐れを超えてゆけ
溢れる衝動 身体を駆け巡り
弾ける鼓動 未来を撃ち抜く
革命 覚醒
掴め 栄光
断ち切れ 幻想
止まれ 妄想
目覚めろ 本能
燃やせ 激情
試練も 上等
狙うは 頂上

ICONA
ICONA (pronounced 'Ikoona')
ICONA (pronounced 'Ikoona') is a Tokyo-based digital romantics unit that reconstructs the structural beauty of 1980s New Wave for the modern era.
The unit is led by Tohto Arai, a veteran music manipulator with a 30-year career supporting Japan's top-tier artists. Together with Shinichiro Ohta (Vocals/Guitar) and Hiroyuki Sonobe (Keyboards), ICONA creates a sophisticated soundscape that blends vintage digital textures with urban decadence.
Their production is deeply rooted in the DNA of YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra), featuring the expertise of legendary engineer Yasuo Kimoto, who has worked extensively with Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi.
ICONA is set to release their debut single on June 1st, 2026, marking the arrival of a new sonic icon in the electronic music scene.
Artist Profile
ICONA
ICONA ICONA is a Tokyo-based electronic trio consisting of Shinichiro Ohta (Vocals), Hiroyuki Sonobe (Keyboards), and Tohto Arai (Producer/Keyboards). The band approaches music, visual expression, and artistic aesthetics as inseparable elements of a single creative identity. Inspired by the spirit of synth-pop, new wave, and post-punk, ICONA reinterprets these influences through a contemporary perspective rather than simply recreating the past. Combining refined electronic production, expressive performances, cinematic atmospheres, and meticulous sound design, ICONA creates emotionally resonant works that explore universal themes including memory, distance, beauty, and human connection. Produced in collaboration with Yasuo Kimoto, the band's music balances technical precision with emotional depth, while its visual direction forms an essential part of the overall artistic concept. Every release is conceived as an integrated work in which sound and imagery complement one another. Since its debut on June 1, 2026, ICONA has been featured by several independent international music media, including POST-PUNK.COM, DISTOPIC (Italy), Skreen B Music Blog (United Kingdom), and Rock'n'Roll Vibration (Brazil), continuing to expand its presence beyond Japan.
