Lyric

Kuw, the solo project by artist Gota Kuchiguchi, releases its first EP, Aigaini.ep.

After years of performing under his real name, Kuw marks a new chapter - a redefinition of self through sound.
The name "Kuw" comes from the Buddhist concept of Ku (emptiness) and the idea of En (interconnection).
Rooted in both nothingness and presence, contradiction and compassion, Kuw's music breathes what he calls "Jihi-pop" - pop music grounded in mercy and love.

As the title Aigaini.ep ("Because of Love") suggests, all five songs were born from love.
Not just romantic love, but also love for friends, for strangers, for oneself - the many shapes of love that quietly hold our lives together.
Lyrics that gently speak truth.
Sounds that blend electronic textures and autotune into something both intimate and otherworldly.
Every element of the EP - from songwriting to mixing and mastering - was crafted by Kuw himself,
with the cover artwork designed by long-time collaborator sushi.

Music videos for each of the five tracks are also in the works,
brought to life by Kuw's creative crew DApTA,
with each member channeling their own artistic vision into the visuals.

This is the beginning of Kuw's new chapter.
And it begins - because of love.
