Quaterlife (25)

Quaterlife (25) marks Aoi Yamazaki's first new release in approximately a year and a half.
It is a rock-leaning acoustic ballad that feels like a return to her roots.

Inspired by the country music of the 2000s that shaped her musical sensibilities,
the song captures the emotional turbulence of the quarter-life period
the uncertain, fragile, and searching moments around the age of 25.

Caught between lingering youth and the weight of adulthood,
the song reflects doubt, acceptance, and the quiet determination to keep moving forward.
With its stripped-down arrangement and honest lyrics,
Quaterlife (25) delivers an intimate and deeply personal portrait of coming of age.
