A 2-track EP titled "Tooi Hikari o Oikaketeita" (Chasing Distant Light), featuring works by Gakuto Kajiwara and Tsukasa Shintaku.

Track 1 is "-aster" (Lyrics & Music by Tsukasa Shintaku), a light-footed rock tune capturing the exhilarating, rugged yet refreshing spirit of youth running toward a distant, dazzling light. Track 2 is "Aiso" (Lyrics & Music by Gakuto Kajiwara / Arrangement by Atsuhito Sato), kokokara's first-ever emotional ballad depicting an intense gravitational pull-the feeling of gazing at a distant light and being unable to look away no matter how hard one tries.

"The days of earnestly chasing the light" and "the overwhelming desire to never avert one's gaze." These two tracks, viewing "light" from completely different angles, intersect to form a uniquely cohesive mini-album.

Artist Profile

kokokara
A four-piece rock band centered around voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara. The band was formed alongside Shintaku and Fumi-his bandmates since their high school days in Singapore-and Ryuku, whom they met through the music video for "Amenochi Hare." As a voice actor, Kajiwara has starred in numerous anime series, voicing iconic characters such as Asta in Black Clover and Shinra Kusakabe in Fire Force. In 2020, he won the Best New Actor Award at the 14th Seiyu Awards. They made their stage debut on March 17, 2024, at the event "Jinsei no Live ~Oretachi, Band Hajimechimatanda~" (Life's Live: Man, We've Gone and Started a Band). With their current sights set on "performing at festivals," the band is actively expanding their horizons, from songwriting to live performances.
