Ghostly Escape

"The reason why I can't go= Don't ask me. I know I should= But I can't help it".
Still, I remain frozen- an ethereal electro-pop track from the perspective of ADHD.

"Kimi no Orphée" is a solo project of Ari (formerly of "Mushi Furuu Yoru ni"), who works under the theme "I'll be your bard." She expresses the stories that unfold in her own life and the lives of her friends (and fans) through poetry, music, illustrations, and videos.

Following the release of "Chiller, Chiller" in October 2024 and the long-awaited return of "Enchanté"- the first live concert in five years with a captivated audience- Kimi no Orphée carried the momentum of an unforgettable year. Now, in 2025, the artist unveils "Ghostly Escape". Co-written with TET$V(Tetsujiro Hirakawa), a rising star of the Dutch electronic scene, this track weaves ethereal, floating melodies with beats that anchor you like the pull of gravity, musically manifesting the very essence of a 'ghostly escape.'

We've all been there- excited for an event we've planned, only to feel an inexplicable weight when the day arrives. There's no real reason why "I can't go". And yet, "I know I should". Excuses begin to form, justifying our absence, while guilt remains, unshaken. In the end, the 'body' sinks into bed, while only the 'ghost' makes it to the promised place. "Ghostly Escape" is an ethereal electro-pop track that vividly captures this 'reasonless' inner turmoil, drawn from Ari's own ADHD experience.

The music video's creative direction is helmed by Hikaru Hikawa, a long-time collaborator of Kimi no Orphée, with artwork and visuals brought to life by Keke. Through a seamless blend of sound, words, and imagery, the boundaries between the 'ghost' and the 'self' become beautifully blurred, pulling the listener deeper into an immersive world where the two coexist.

"Ghostly Escape"- is it truly an escape, or is it salvation in disguise?
