Takm, a genre-defying next-generation artist, releases his long-awaited 2nd EP "Lucid Dream".
From isolation to resonance - a four-track journey where dreams and reality intertwine.

As his career has progressed, Takm has gone from watching his favorite artists through a screen to communicating and creating alongside them, and performing live in cities across the country. This surreal shift - like living inside a dream - became the inspiration behind his new EP "Lucid Dream."

Marking a major departure from his previous release "ENDLESS BLUE", this four-track EP spans everything from fast-paced dance tracks to the smooth R&B textures Takm is known for. The project showcases his musical versatility and evolving expressive power.

Production credits include long-time collaborator SAQAI, as well as rising university student producer minato seita, whose fresh sensibilities inject a new kind of energy into the sound.

Guest appearances feature HWARYEON, a Korean-rooted singer based in Kobe, and Ratchet, a Kobe-based rapper. Their diverse vocal styles - from sharp flows to melodic tones - add emotional layers and contrast throughout the EP.

The cover artwork was shot by Kansai-based photographer Ryo Manabe, known for his work with major brands and musicians. His visual interpretation of "Lucid Dream" captures the dreamlike world behind the music with unique clarity.

"Lucid Dream" reflects the blurred yet vivid experience of Takm's recent journey - a dream turned into reality. Its genreless production, honest lyrics, and nuanced emotional delivery are sure to resonate with music lovers who value depth and individuality.
