Lyric

Kaihyo

cokiyu

引き裂かれ 暗闇の夜

胸に沈み込む一撃

なごりをすくいあげる灯り

凍る息 偽りの夜

深く刻み込む

癒えない隙間を漂い浮かぶ幻影

探してみて この境界線から覗き込む景色

埋もれた欺きから手を離そう

言霊のせて のせて

夢にのせて 探して

倒れゆく魂から すべてを隠して

晦ます砕氷 纏い踊る君を

盾になり 悲しみから遠ざける

這い上がり鳴る大地に

芽吹く怒りの衝動 解かして

    Stay There As You Are

    cokiyu

EP "Zanzou", which comes three years after the EP that made multiple chart appearances and was featured on various playlists across the world, including Japan, Asia, and Eastern Europe, contains five tracks filled with "Japanese Electronica / Ambient." The EP features a fantastical world composed of delicate electronic sounds and ambient noises, blending elements of electronica, ambient, and pop in a well-balanced manner. Despite its dark and ephemeral nature, the music stands out for its grandeur and strength within the quietude. Notably, cokiyu has handled all aspects of the music, including lyrics, composition, arrangement, and mixing. However, the lyrics for the second track, "Watashi wa Hashiru, Higashikaze" were a collaboration with "Maagyu," adding a taste of Japanese Showa-era pop song that is unlike cokiyu's previous works.
