Lyric

New EP: Flamebearer
In the small town of Hamatonbetsu, Hokkaido.

Living each day in a temple nestled within that quiet place,
a monk singer-songwriter who gathers fragments of "what it means to live" through words and sound

Kisho Kato.

Songs born from prayer and everyday life
have merged with the production of Ken Kamikita,
taking shape as a single, living flame.

This title speaks of a fading light within someone
gently protected by one's own hands,
and passed on to the next.

It is a prayer.
It is a memory.
It is a relay of the simple, undeniable truth: to be alive.

4 tracks included
1. Tomoru (A Light Begins)
2. Just Not Dead Yet
3. Last Words
4. Aster

This work does not seek to ignite a fire within the listener,
but to quietly awaken them to the small flame already there.

And surely, that flame too
will be carried onward,
to someone else.
