"'me and the world'" is a 1st full album by aryy, marking his first endeavor of this kind. Over the course of two years from 2021, the album was meticulously crafted by aryy alone, encompassing everything from songwriting to recording, all within the confines of his bedroom at home.
In this creation, aryy confronts himself through the album-making process, a departure from his prior approach of creating music as a means to escape the fear of society and interpersonal relationships. Through the album, he explores his inner conflicts and depict his journey of reconnecting with a world beyond himself.
Sonically, aryy interprets the musical influences that have shaped him, resulting in a unique and fresh soundscape that blends various genres such as pop-punk, indie rock, hip-hop, folk, and shoegaze. Particularly, in the fourth track,"summertime," the album features its only guest appearance by Nobuki, the frontman of the Japanese indie rock band DYGL. The song takes on a daring exploration of a previously unprecedented dreamy and modern rock soundscape.
This work is characterized by sincere and fresh lyrics, delivered atop catchy and vibrant melodies, making it an amazing creation that serves as aryy's calling card. It's likely that this album will further establish aryy's presence and success in the music scene.
aryy is a member of the hip-hop group HEAVEN, which also includes Lil Soft Tennis and ry0n4. In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, he began his music journey from the confines of his bedroom and released his 1st EP titled 'Nostalgia King'. The track "Kyoto," featuring rapper Lil Soft Tennis as a guest, garnered significant attention and resonated strongly. In addition to numerous event appearances, a testament to his energetic dedication, aryy participated as an opening act for the tour of the rock band DYGL. In February 2022, aryy released his 2nd EP 'alien' and also contributed to HEAVEN's mixtapes 'AiR' and 'So Wet Boys'. He has graced stages across the nation at events and festivals, amassing support particularly among the youth. aryy skillfully blends his rock-rooted foundation with elements of hip-hop and dance music, crafting a distinctive artistic universe. Undoubtedly, aryy stands out as one of the most noteworthy singer-songwriters (SSW) in Japan's emerging artist scene, marking him as a prominent figure in the new generation.
