Lonely Boy

A collaboration track by vocalist Haruya and M Ryo.
After nearly two years since their previous release, the two artists reunitethis time with an even deeper understanding of each others sensibilities, forged through countless online exchanges.
With refined vocals and meticulously crafted production, they return stronger than ever.

This track quietly seeps into the listeners heart; a piece born from the growth of both artists and their pure passion for music.

The theme of the song is the lingering memories of a past lover.
The protagonista man unable to escape the memories that cling to him long after the breakup finds himself reminded of her no matter where he goes or what he sees.
He tries to appear fine, acting as though hes moving forward, yet the loneliness buried deep inside refuses to fade.
As the title suggests, the lyrics portray the painfully real solitude of a man facing his loneliness with quiet resolve.

Haruyas deep, resonant low voice carries not only beauty, but also a tangible warmth and subtle achelike placing a hand over ones chest.
His whisper-like delivery, full of breath and space between words, avoids unnecessary embellishment and instead expresses the weight of loneliness with controlled restraint.
Because of its vulnerability, his voice pierces straight throughcarrying the pain, the lingering attachment, and even a faint glimmer of hope.

The track, composed and produced by M Ryo, showcases his distinctly international sound sensibilities.
Cinematic and expansive sound design.
A chill, smoky texture that values space and silence.
Every element of the instrumental is deliberately crafted to elevate Haruyas voice, creating a sonic landscape that feels like driving alone through a quiet city at night, wrapped in a peaceful yet heavy solitude.
Never too heavy, yet never too light the perfect balance that seamlessly merges with the emotional world of the lyrics.

The song features both Japanese and English, with phrasing built on melody and flow that resonate beyond language and borders.
While created primarily for Japanese listeners, the musical identity of this duo is unconfined by genre or language, pointing toward a broader future and wider global reach.
