A new track from Shamirock Kamii, "a reddish ocean," is a beautiful yet destructive song that paints an epic picture of the world's end. It sets the scene of a final moment where the sky and sea are stained crimson, powerfully expressing the end of all conflict and the stillness that follows. This song, a masterful fusion of Japanese and rock sounds that is Shamirock Kamii's specialty, transports listeners to this apocalyptic world.

The song opens with the deep, heavy sound of the shamisen, as if blood is flowing. The taiko drums join in, carving an ominous rhythm that seems to announce the end of the world. Then, as a powerful rock sound explodes, Shamirock Kamii strong yet fleeting vocals lament the dying world while singing of the light of hope that still remains.

"a reddish ocean" is more than just a depiction of the world's end. In a world where conflict has ceased and everything is enveloped in silence, there is a sense of beauty. It's a poignant and beautiful worldview that hints at a new beginning beyond despair. The unique resonance of traditional Japanese instruments and the harmony woven with modern rock sounds wash over the listener like a wave of emotions, deeply stirring the heart.

This song questions the fragility of our world and the hope that can be found even in despair. What will you feel in the apocalyptic world that Shamirock Kamii has created?
