Artist Profile

• s-o-a

  s-o-a is a Japanese acoustic unit formed in 2019. Delivering music that is simple yet deeply resonant, they continue to touch the hearts of listeners with their honest sound. Their lyrics, rich with emotional depth and strength, paired with delicate yet powerful arrangements, instantly capture the hearts of those who listen. All songs are written and composed by kageyama (vocals, guitar) and zero (guitar, vocals). Through their distinct perspectives, the duo crafts songs that explore universal themes such as loneliness, love, inner conflict, and hope with both sincerity and sharp insight. Kageyama's lyrics gently express inner turmoil and solitude, wrapping the listener in a quiet intimacy. In contrast, zero's lyrics paint vivid scenes of entangled love, isolation, struggle, and hope resonating with raw emotional power. Their contrasting individualities intertwine to create words and melodies with a truly unique presence, delivering a powerful message to all who listen. While their sound is rooted in acoustic music, s-o-a isn't bound by limitations often blending in electric elements in pursuit of broader expression. Live performances are typically centered on acoustic guitars, but with occasional full band arrangements that add depth and dynamic range to their sound. Visual identity is also key to s-o-a's appeal. Artworks by Kuroi are minimalistic yet striking a perfect visual counterpart to the music, vividly expressing the band's worldview. s-o-a's music shines a light of hope into the darkness of solitude and pain. It goes beyond mere song offering quiet companionship and strength to those who need it most.
