Kohei Kamoto to Release His First Solo Album Dangle Candle on November 26, 2025

A self-produced work that gently illuminates the quiet landscapes of sound

Kohei Kamoto - a member of DYGL and also part of Yuma Abe's live band - will release his first solo album, Dangle Candle, on November 26, 2025 (Wed).
Drawing from his experiences performing and creating music both in Japan and abroad, Kamoto handled everything from songwriting and recording to mixing and artwork himself, crafting a fully self-produced body of work.

Dangle Candle weaves gentle guitar-driven soundscapes with ambient textures, creating a calm yet immersive atmosphere. Within its lo-fi warmth, delicate melodies emerge, quietly reflecting fragments of light and shadow, and the subtle afterimages of memory.
Yuma Koda joined as arranger and co-producer, adding depth and warmth through layers of keyboards and synthesizers. The mastering was done by Hiroshi Ikeda of hmc.

For the first time, Kamoto takes on vocals himself. His unadorned voice naturally melts into the flow of the music-more like breath or warmth than words-evoking personal memories and fleeting moments for each listener.

The album will be released via Yuma Abe's label, Thaian Records.
Kamoto's new work offers a glimpse into the quiet yet luminous world of sound he continues to shape.
