Lyric

Why Don't We Love Again?

Hori Katsura

Just giving up deepening

Chasing the break up reason

We settle down and live

Be back to our own beliefs

In my eyes of the autumn haze

You brought me a winter breeze

I think I have to take back home

I should I leave the room, I gotta let you go

Na na na, nothing more to talk at all

Na na na, not to do you harm, no more

Na na na, now our story is all done

Done and gone and blown the love away

How did we get out of the romance?

Oh, Man I adored the most, so I’m hopelessly lost

I missed the past I’ve known, but we already walk our own life to glory

Just a tiny lie but it calls an endless loneliness

Why did we hide the pain?

Why don’t we love again?

I should keep it in my mind

Until I can say goodbye

It’s better to focus on

Myself, just all for me

Unfortunately we’re apart

Hope that we’ll cross our paths

(Just one more time)

I think I’m stuck with you hey babe

Hey, why can’t I let go and still I’m miles away

Na na na, now’s the time to fix it all

Na na, now I know why we went wrong

Na, now the story has just begun

If we lost, it might never end

How did we get out of the romance?

Oh, Man I adored the most, so I’m hopelessly lost

I missed the past I’ve known, but we already walk our own life to glory

Just a tiny lie but it calls an endless loneliness

Me, gave it a try, just cheating but I did a thing could not be undone

How did we get out of the romance?

Oh, Man I adored the most, so I’m hopelessly lost

I missed the past I’ve known, but we already walk our own life to glory

Just a tiny lie but it calls an endless loneliness

Why did we hide the pain?

Why don’t we love again?

Sorry babe, story fades, alone again

Lonely days, all in haze, love again babe

Sorry babe, story fades, alone again

Lonely days, all in haze, love again babe

    Lyric

Singer-songwriter Katsura Hori officially launches her solo project with the release of her first original EP, My anthology. The project has already garnered significant anticipation, successfully reaching 117% of its goal through a pre-release crowdfunding campaign.

Rooted in R&B, Soul, Jazz, Country and Rock, this work seamlessly blends contemporary alternative pop elements. By delivering "uniquely Japanese, modest, and delicate emotions" through rhythmic English lyrics, Hori achieves a sophisticated balance between infectious grooves and deep emotional resonance.

The EP is produced by Manabu Imada, a singer-songwriter featured on the compilation album City Music Tokyo interchange (curated by Kunimondo Takiguchi of Ryusenkei) and an award-winning artist in various music competitions. The arrangements, synthesizers, and piano feature Hiroaki Idaka, the pianist of the world-renowned salsa band Orquesta De La Luz. The studio lineup is rounded out by a formidable group of internationally active musicians, including Yosuke Fujiwara (Gt), toyo (Ba), and aine fujioka (Dr).

Following her 2018 cover album Leave Love Behind and her activities with the acoustic unit futarinote, this release marks a definitive return to her solo career- a true "anthology" that reflects her musical evolution.
