He knows why
This world is going well today
But you don't know why
You are fine with going to school today
Last night
The enigma was solved by that guy
And his eyes are so bright, dark black
His distress and sadness
You wouldn't wanna know his name
If you had the chance
I know it's the people that
No one imagines anything of
Who do the greatest things
We can't imagine
We can't imagine
Just raise your fist and punch the cloud of dust
Raise your voice inside your heart
If you have no hands
I stand beneath the gray sky
Land on the shaking ground
One by one get down
One by one get down
You can't complete the puzzle
The pieces you have are not enough
But you wouldn't wanna make it better
Make it better
Just raise your fist and punch the cloud of dust
Raise your voice inside your heart
If you have no hands
They don't wanna know anymore
Don't wanna know anymore

Artist Profile
recess
recess is a band based in Osaka Japan. Starting out with roots in pop punk the band gradually incorporated influences from artists like Basement and Deftones and developed a sound that moves freely between US alternative rock shoegaze and emo while refusing to be confined to any single genre. At the core of the music is raw emotion and initial impulse delivered through performances that continue to evolve as the band grows as a live act. While currently focusing on live houses recess ultimately aims to become a band that can adapt its expression to any space or situation. The long term vision is to bridge the gap between the overseas alternative scene and the alternative movement in Japan and to expand reach across audiences and contexts while carving out a sound that is unmistakably unique. Both songwriting and live performance remain works in progress but that ongoing process is what gives recess its distinctive energy. Through consistent live shows the band has begun to feel the music resonating with a wider audience. To date recess has released a total of 13 songs across singles and EPs produced four music videos and held three self promoted events under the title Porter Street. The presence of the band has continued to grow and current monthly listeners on Spotify are around 5000. Looking ahead recess is determined to step beyond the boundaries of live houses and perform in more open environments including festivals circuit events and outdoor stages. Having witnessed moments when a band discovered by chance at Fuji Rock becomes unforgettable recess sees the festival as a place that can unlock new possibilities and mark a major turning point. In June 2026 recess is set to release a first full length album consisting of 11 tracks followed by a release tour covering five cities from July to August. Through this album and tour the band aims to scale up as a live act and bring the name recess to a much broader field. Still at the beginning of the journey recess is fully committed to delivering the sound that can only exist in the present moment and pushing boldly into the next phase.
