Once I stepped by the cafe
I had been wondering a bit
I’ve placed my name in quiet lines
It always lingers in my mind
Do you know there’s a tempting seat
Still it’s calling me to sit
No one else can deny it
Waiting for the stars to realign
Just let me know
When he walks out the door, darling
You gotta let me know
No need for guarantees
Soon you call, I’ll be here for you
He said it’s so full, you see?
Some other one was in my seat
Lord, will today be the day
Or will I never walk away
Staring there from a step away
Keeping secrets in my hand
No asking where I’m going
I’m writing down this just for you
Just let me know
When he goes out the door, darling
You gotta let me know
There’s no need for guarantees
So you call, I’ll be here for you
The cafe has that tempting seat
And still, it’s calling me to sit
No one else can deny it
Waiting for the stars to shine
If you don’t mind, I wanna stay a little longer, if it’s okay
I wanna tell you how I feel
I wish it were as simple as one two three
Just let me know
When he goes out the door, darling
You gotta let me know
There’s no need for guarantees
Soon you call, I’ll be here for you
Just let me know
When he goes out the door, darling
You gotta let me know
There’s no need for guarantees
Soon you call, I’ll be here for you

Tempting Seat
Kensuke Sudo
A fusion of vintage charm and modern edge, this is DIY pop that effortlessly transcends the bedroom recording mold.
Built on Beatles-inspired melodies, the album weaves in shades of 70s soul, UK rock, and minimalist grooves.
Every instrument and vocal is performed and recorded by Kensuke Sudo, with each track shaped by a finely tuned sense of space and sonic texture.
The result is neither sterile nor nostalgic-but something in between, offering both familiarity and friction.
Aside from guest musicians on horns, the album is a one-man creation from start to finish.
For those in search of pop that belongs nowhere-and thus, speaks everywhere.
Artist Profile
Kensuke Sudo
Kensuke Sudo is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Kobe, Japan. He performs, records, and mixes all of his music by himself, crafting each track with meticulous attention to detail. In August 2025, he released his second album UnderGROUND, a record built on one simple but powerful principle: sing what truly needs to be sung. Having begun home recording at the age of nine, Sudo brings years of production experience into harmony with a growing lyrical depth. The result is a mature and organic blend of sound and voice. Rooted in a deep love for The Beatles, his music also draws from blue-eyed soul, UK rock, and minimalist grooves - pushing DIY pop into a new frontier. His first album NowhereLAND, released in November 2024, showcased a Beatles-inspired approach to songwriting and production. The record earned praise from Abbey Road Studios mastering engineer Sean Magee, who said : Good song and nice sound, this man should have a bright future. Sudo s sonic craftsmanship has clearly crossed borders - something already evident in the international audience engaging with his YouTube channel. Drawing from everyday emotions and memories, Sudo continues to pursue a sound that does not chase trends, but quietly carves out its own space. While his primary focus remains on recorded work, he also performs live with a group of like-minded musicians from his generation.
