FOREIGN RYUU presents "TYO," an EP exploring loneliness, nostalgia, freedom, and human connection through the everyday lives of young people in Tokyo.

In a city where millions of lives intersect and everything seems to move endlessly forward, we gradually grow older, leaving behind the emotions, dreams, and simple joys that once made us feel alive.

Memories of a past that no longer exists resurface on a morning train flooded with sunlight. Restless nights awaken the desire to live freely, beyond society's expectations. From the cold winds of Suginami, a message of hope travels across the sea to someone far away.

Through these intimate moments, "TYO" captures the quiet contradictions of modern urban life: being surrounded by people yet feeling alone, constantly moving yet forgetting to live in the present, and growing apart while still longing for connection.

Rather than simply portraying Tokyo as a place of isolation, the EP finds beauty in the fleeting moments, shared emotions, and invisible bonds that connect us.

"TYO" is a reflection on what we lose as we grow older, what remains within us, and what it truly means to be human in a world that never stops changing.

Artist Profile

  • FOREIGN RYUU

    Born and raised in the United States, FOREIGN RYUU began his artistic journey in Tokyo in 2022. He started freestyling with friends at the age of 15 and began creating his own music at 18. In 2023, he released his first album, Bunmei Kaika. Blending English and Japanese lyrics over a wide range of beats, his energetic rapping captures a sense of raw freedom and flight. His style delivers an intensity that is rarely seen in Japan. This year, he has unified his sound around a distinct genre, centered on tracks so explosive they feel untethered from the ground. Based in Tokyo, he has hosted and performed at numerous events. In 2023, he delivered a live performance on the main stage of Waseda Festival in front of 4,000 people. On April 26, 2025, he will hold an EP release party at Ebisu BATICA. As a solo rapper, FOREIGN RYUU brings together Tokyo's vibrant artist community, creating and executing unique live formats. From forming teams with beatmakers, DJs, synth players, and rappers to designing collaborative performances, he curates stages that push creative boundaries. At Waseda Festival, he gathered dancers and artists to explore the theme of dreams and express the fundamental freedom of being human. Constantly crafting innovative rap and immersive performances, FOREIGN RYUU is an artist who reawakens the wild essence of life in those who witness him. His presence reminds audiences of what it truly means to be alive.
