TOKINE New Single "Iroha"

The 10th release in 12-month consecutive release project,
"Iroha" portrays the poise and quiet resolve of those who live through their craft.

Using the motif of the geisha, the song explores a way of artistry refined through fundamentals and repetition

a discipline embedded in every gesture and every detail of presentation.
Set to a groovy, edgy sound reminiscent of the 2000s,the track blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with a modern sensibility,expressed with a subtle sense of playfulness throughout.

"Shanari" and "batabata"
grace and urgency, stillness and motion

the lyrics capture the physical sensation of moving between these two extremes.

The hardship is kept unseen,
but the difficulty of the journey is fully understood.

Released in January, the beginning of a new year,
"Iroha" invites a return to origins,
presenting a stance that values steady foundations over flashy first steps.

"Art begins with the basics."
This song expresses that philosophy through sound and silence.
