"No Past" is the first single in two years from Rosskey -- a lyricist and artist known for his work with top Japanese acts such as Mori Calliope, Rainy., Mirai Skirt+, ICEx, Lienel, and Meon Shirakami.
After years of writing for others, he stands at the mic himself this time, delivering a simple yet powerful message:
"The past doesn't exist -- only this moment does."
The song blends bright, soulful R&B grooves with Japanese lyrics full of rhythm and resonance.
Its melody feels refreshing and uplifting, but the words carry a quiet depth -- asking where we truly exist, while encouraging us to embrace the "now."
Musically, "No Past" features an organic mix of drums, bass, guitars, piano, electric piano, organ, and horn section, arranged through digital production that evokes the warmth of 70s-80s soul and the vibrant energy of bands like LAWRENCE.
The sound is nostalgic yet modern, soft yet powerful.
As a lyricist, Rosskey is known for his obsession with the phonetic beauty of the Japanese language -- especially vowel resonance and rhythmical phrasing.
Every syllable is crafted to feel musical on its own.
In "No Past," he brings this philosophy to life through his own voice for the first time in years.
The accompanying music video captures him singing directly to the listener -- a new, intimate perspective that reflects his renewed commitment to expression and honesty.
It's a performance filled with warmth, clarity, and quiet intensity.
Ultimately, "No Past" is a song about freedom from time -- letting go of regrets, refusing to rush toward the future, and living truthfully in the moment.
It's bright, soulful, and deeply human.
A pop anthem for anyone ready to live right now.
