There’s a man in pain, on the street
But people just walk by, looking at their screens
They keep their heads down, blind to the problems in front of them
We live like machines, doing the same shit everyday
We wander around, lost all sense of purpose by the day
There’s a man with a tattoo, wearing a hood
Covering up what it says
Everyone of us need love
Look at the bright side
Yes, we do fight sometimes
That’s just cuz we’re trying to live
Everyone of us need love
Look at the bright side
Yes, we do fight sometimes
That’s just cuz we’re trying to protect love
What we lack is love
Time is running out for me
I close my mind to the world
Not seeing what is outside
What we lack is love
Time is running out for me
I close my mind to the world
Only seeing what’s right in front of me
What's love
This city never stops raining, I’ve lost myself to the pain
That still remains in my tattoo
I keep asking myself
Can I stop this pain, if you were still here?
Whether I live for someone else or myself
I never feel satisfied, ever
I’ve got nothing to lose anymore
I keep telling myself over
Everyone of us need love
Look at the bright side
Yes, we do fight sometimes
That’s just cuz we’re trying to live
Everyone of us need love
Look at the bright side
Yes, we do fight sometimes
That’s just cuz we’re trying to protect love
What we lack is love
Time is running out for me
I close my mind to the world
Not seeing what is outside
What we lack is love
Time is running out for me
I close my mind to the world
Only seeing what’s right in front of me
I’m knocking on heaven
Open the door. Life is too hard for me
Let our voices ring
The rain has stopped
Everyone of us need you
Let our voices be heard
(Ring! I need you! I need you! Be strong together!)
(I don't fear anything! Anything!)
(We are not alone! We need you! We need you! Be strong together!)

Artist Profile
RAYJI
After touring all over Japan with nothing but a single bass guitar and crossing the ocean to New York, RAYJI officially launched his solo career with a headline show at Shibuya clubAsia. Evolving into a one of a kind frontman who sings while delivering fierce basslines, he commands an overwhelming presence as both a bassist and an artist. His signature sound design combining hard hitting slap techniques born from unique altered tunings with a gritty, cinematic street aesthetic continues to captivate listeners worldwide. Driven by his definitive playstyle and distinct worldview, he has headlined numerous major music festivals overseas, sparking a worldwide frenzy. Carrying that unstoppable momentum, he drops his highly anticipated advance single 4K. on July 8, 2026. The track has been selected as the ending theme for BS Yoshimoto's TV show Dai-ichi Geinin Bungeibu: Ore no Oshihon., with scheduled appearances on Japanese music television programs following later in July. Starting with this explosive strike, the full picture of his upcoming new album 4K. will finally be unveiled this month. Leaving all past titles behind and constantly redefining the now, RAYJI's raw creative impulse is something you cannot take your eyes off of.
