深い闇の静寂 心は彷徨って
失われた夢は今 はるかに遠くへ
無限の光と 偽りのパラダイス
希望の灯は どこまでも近くに
君の欠片 寂しさを運ぶ
色褪せた未来とノスタルジア
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を遠ざける
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を曇らせる
明日を忘れた 美しいメロディ
交差する光と影は もう幻惑のトリック
目を閉じ 痛みはよみがえる
煌めく真実とノスタルジア
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を引き寄せる
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を閉じこめる
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を遠ざける
Light in the darkness 前兆もなく
時間が君を曇らせる

ICONA
ICONA (pronounced 'Ikoona')
ICONA (pronounced 'Ikoona') is a Tokyo-based digital romantics unit that reconstructs the structural beauty of 1980s New Wave for the modern era.
The unit is led by Tohto Arai, a veteran music manipulator with a 30-year career supporting Japan's top-tier artists. Together with Shinichiro Ohta (Vocals/Guitar) and Hiroyuki Sonobe (Keyboards), ICONA creates a sophisticated soundscape that blends vintage digital textures with urban decadence.
Their production is deeply rooted in the DNA of YMO (Yellow Magic Orchestra), featuring the expertise of legendary engineer Yasuo Kimoto, who has worked extensively with Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi.
ICONA is set to release their debut single on June 1st, 2026, marking the arrival of a new sonic icon in the electronic music scene.

ICONA
ICONA ICONA is a Tokyo-based electronic trio consisting of Shinichiro Ohta (Vocals), Hiroyuki Sonobe (Keyboards), and Tohto Arai (Producer/Keyboards). The band approaches music, visual expression, and artistic aesthetics as inseparable elements of a single creative identity. Inspired by the spirit of synth-pop, new wave, and post-punk, ICONA reinterprets these influences through a contemporary perspective rather than simply recreating the past. Combining refined electronic production, expressive performances, cinematic atmospheres, and meticulous sound design, ICONA creates emotionally resonant works that explore universal themes including memory, distance, beauty, and human connection. Produced in collaboration with Yasuo Kimoto, the band's music balances technical precision with emotional depth, while its visual direction forms an essential part of the overall artistic concept. Every release is conceived as an integrated work in which sound and imagery complement one another. Since its debut on June 1, 2026, ICONA has been featured by several independent international music media, including POST-PUNK.COM, DISTOPIC (Italy), Skreen B Music Blog (United Kingdom), and Rock'n'Roll Vibration (Brazil), continuing to expand its presence beyond Japan.
