Emotions that everyone feels while living.
Moments that cannot be put into words.
And the locations and spaces where we find ourselves at those times.
In the Direction of Light is a serialized project that portrays each of these elements by likening life-constantly moving forward-to a "drive" in progress.
The scenery that appears as we keep moving, the emotions that sway along the way,
the memories that pass by, and the lingering afterglow that remains.
This work marks the first chapter of the project:
Scene 1, "Aura".
Centered on the themes of love and passion, this piece captures-without embellishment-
the romantic experiences NARU has lived through,
as well as the intensity of the vision they hold for the future, translated directly into sound.
Choosing a "direction toward the light"is an act of will-
a decision to believe, with optimism, in the landscapes that lie ahead.
An R&B artist based in Osaka, Japan, NARU glides over a wide spectrum of beats-from ballads to deep house, 2-step, and Afrobeats-infusing each groove with his raw, present self. Crafting lyrics that embody the urban atmosphere, he translates subtle emotional shifts into sound with lush R&B textures and intimate vocal nuance. In March, he kicked off his continuous EP project In the Direction of Light with its first installment, Scene 1 - "Aura". His release party at Osaka PURE in May drew over 300 attendees despite being a weekday event, solidifying his position as a definitive force bringing a new wave to the Japanese R&B scene.
