Lyric

Hum

ITADAKI

Dream

When we talk about a dream

We can feel we are alive

The world tries to steer you with love or with fear

But me? I’m the one holding the reins now

Own your truth. Embrace the unseen. Feed your life

I wanna pray for a tempting night

Not letting darkness pull me down

I always chase down inner light

Built on what I gained from real life

When the cold night freeze, out my hands

All I crave is sinking into bed

Lonely hearts can break themselves

Cutting wounds too quiet to speak out

On the days dark thoughts press me down

Just fall once to breathe

Cry it out under the shower’s stream

Where tears fade in the shine

I wanna pray for a tempting night

Not letting darkness pull me down

I always chase down inner light

Built on what I gained from real life

I move with what my heart ignites

Never slowing down, keep drive

I always search for what feels right

Does buying me make you feel right?

Even when I’m used by someone’s game

Or trapped in blame

I don’t wanna run, I don’t wanna hide, I don’t wanna look away

I hold the truth with my rein

When your mommy tried to steer your way

You pushed back

So tell me, where did you go?

If my steps are slow and scarred, I’ll play my life

In order for us to live, we must embrace our feelings

The senses unseen by our eyes will bring us into lives

I wanna pray for a tempting night

Not letting darkness pull me down

I always chase down inner light

Built on what I gained from real life

I move with what my heart ignites

Never slowing down, keep drive

I always search for what feels right

Does buying me make you feel right?

    Music Keeps Us Alive

    ITADAKI

In a world where smartphones and AI grant our wishes like magic, we still find ourselves bound by the messy reality of being human.
We get hungry. We oversleep. We stumble in our eagerness, chase after dreams with regret, and feel the heavy ache of waiting for someone we love. These beautifully imperfect, uniquely human experiences are the heartbeat of our album, picnic.
The album opens with "Hum," an introspective neo-soul track that voices a firm resolve for life, followed by "P.U.G.," a 2-step groove that dances away the blunders of everyday life. It then moves through the quiet-yet-intense drama of "Seasoning," and culminates in an explosive love for music in "Music Keeps Us Alive."
Let's go on a picnic! We've packed your bento.
