Checkmate Front Cover

"為せば成る"や"石に立つ矢” overに言えば 響かず無関心 unchain

黒いヤツは全て役者 とんだ芝居だ 猫被らずshow me 本心

支配してくtrauma

"たられば"の話 TM即jackし 飛び乗り go back

もっと身近に 過去と今を行き来したいもんさ

Nobody knows 戦局の結果 つまりやるべきは切磋琢磨 but

半端な性なもんで 見るも無惨に剥がれるわな

いとも簡単 空回りpump pump up 描く理想が首絞めてクラックラ

Like a 典型的な連携 手持ちの駒じゃ常にcheckmate

為すまま野放し that's what you wanna 底なし no chance

1度のlife あれよとboard引っ繰り返すmonster

持って生まれたもんだし 綺麗すぎちゃ美しくないし no doubt

望み叶わぬことも一興の翁

"たられば"の話 TM即jackし 飛び乗り go back

もっと身近に 過去と今を行き来したいもんさ

Artist Profile

  • ROA(Relic Of Ancestor)

    7 member shamisen rock band formed in 2015. The music is inspired by Western music, especially US punk, rock, hardcore, alternative and metal, the melody weaves two Tsugaru shamisen (traditional Japanese instruments) with guitar rock to create a harmony with "Wa (Japanese)" and western music. Song lyrics do not only utilize a strong and powerful imagery, but are also based on mixing writing styles of traditional Japanese (vertical, right to left) and western traditional (left to right) creating a gimmick specific to RAO. Previously released 1 mini and 1 full album as well as selling out shows nationwide, with a final sold out show at the end of 2017 at Shibuya Quattro in Tokyo. ROA have embarked on international activities, starting with JAPAN EXPO in France in 2016 & 2018. ROA songs were used as event theme songs in both 2016 and 2018. In 2018, ROA were signed to British label JPU RECORDS (Rin to Rain, Boom Boom Satellites, Denpa Set inc, BAND MAID, SCANDAL, ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION etc) and will see the overseas release of limited edition full album "RODIAC". ROA will also play a US tour in June and the British HYPER JAPAN in July. In April 2018, ROA joined Onokuwa Co.,Ltd's prodcution company ONOKUWA CREATION to actively create a global music base, focusing on digital marketing and online subscription based services, as well as implementing there street team to reach a wider audience.Using data analysis and operations to create a more sophisticated journey between the fan and the creator.
