"Even a tiny step leads to dreams and tomorrow..."
A high-energy, uplifting pop-rock anthem dedicated to anyone pushing forward through doubts and hesitation.
On October 2nd, Ryu releases "Days ('26ver) feat. YUKI." This track is a remake of an original song from his 2023 3rd album Next Step, now featuring the powerful vocals of the virtual AI vocalist, YUKI. Originally a Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) track that garnered significant streams primarily overseas, it is now reborn with a fresh arrangement and an empowering new voice.
The song captures the unchanging scenery of everyday life and the anxiety of sleepless nights. Through unadorned and straightforward lyrics, it forcefully depicts the act of moving forward despite impatience and hesitation, believing that "nothing is wasted."
Written and composed by Ryu, the track is an up-tempo, modern, fast-paced hard pop-rock anthem. With tight double kick drums, a highly technical band ensemble, and soaring lead guitars, the arrangement delivers an extreme exhilaration reminiscent of an anime opening or an energetic commercial song. The powerful AI vocal performance brings out the maximum potential of the highly empathetic and anthemic melody.
The jacket artwork once again features visual muse Moka Komorebi. Her captivating expression, hinting at the exciting beginning of something new, beautifully complements the track's positive and forward-looking energy.
Ryu started DTM in university and has been creating mainly songs that he wants to listen to. Based on J-POP, his songs feature lyrical melodies and carefully written lyrics about joy and sadness, combined with the natural singing of Hatsune Miku in a sad but easy-to-hear way. The song Groove of Love from his 6th album was used as a commercial song for the Spoon app.
