Dance

捻じれた純情が

誰かの傷にしみ込み

デジャヴの

制服の森

僕の光は葉の間の隠れ

食べられもしない上に足りない

貴き身なれど傲慢に頭を垂れる

そんな春を売り払った果てに

ただ得たのは空虚な蠅だけだ

僕の哲学を広めるために

他者の根に寄生するだけ

僕の涙で染み付いたあちこちは

花も咲かない沼と悪臭

今でも愛を知らなくていい

僕にさえ与えられたことがないから

動けないままの姿

恐ろしいほどに似ている

覆われた夢の中で

咲いたのは挫折の希望

枝打ちと自己犠牲

カッコウの巣はどこに

今や忌まわしい大人たちの

漂流の中生熟れた遊び浸る

自分の違いで抱かなければ

空っぽの記憶はフラミンゴ

結局捨てた幼き日々達に

目にその光は刺さるだけ

格の違いを見なされあちこちで

花さえ枯れて笑われるのか

まだ僕を愛せないから滑稽な

自分自身を許してやりたいんだ

装い歪んだ姿不調和に

吐き気がするんだ

薔薇色の一片に

飛ばされた舞の軌跡

僕の涙で染み付いたあちこちは

花も咲かない視線の圧力で

不釣り合いな姿にも酔いしれて

目覚める決意を今飲み込んだ

光を拒んだ花でも

その弱さが

美しいのさ

    Rafflesia Dance

    redraw

I am someone who carries deep-seated feelings of inferiority.
I wanted to be someone else-not myself.
The popular kids. Their clothes, the way they talked, the way they lived.
I tried to mimic all of it.
Even when I liked something, I pretended not to if they disliked it.
Even if I didn't care, I longed for expensive clothes that were far out of my reach-just because they wore them.

This song is, in a way, my confession.

The more I tried to become like them, the more hollow I felt inside.
No-rather than becoming like them,
I realized I was becoming something else entirely.
Something that could never fit their mold, no matter how much I forced it.

I had few people around me I could call friends.
And even fewer reasons to believe someone might like me.

Eventually, I came to a realization:
I didn't need to become someone else.
What I truly wanted...
was to be a delicate rose that draws bees with sweet fragrance-
to show myself proudly to the world and be loved.

But I wasn't a rose.

All I could do was imitate its red hue.
Flutter oversized petals, emit a grotesque sound,
and release a stench that attracts only flies.
A Rafflesia, hiding in a damp, sunless forest,
waiting-hoping-that someone, someday, might find me.

That's the kind of self I faced while writing Rafflesia Dance.
Now, with this song,
I'm here to kill the old me.

That's all.

Artist Profile

  • redraw

    A J-Pop duo, bound by music across the globe redraw is a duo formed by two people on opposite sides of the globe, connected through music. Producer dro and vocalist Rui make up this duo, sharing emotion across physical distance and time-zones - a new form of global music project that's drawing attention. They met via social media (X) in February 2024, and despite being in different countries, speaking different languages, and living in different environments, they became deeply connected through the one thing they shared: music. dro produces tracks in a university dorm in the U.S., while Rui records vocals in a small closet in Japan. The sound born from such a distant production environment symbolizes exactly the "sound of a generation transcending distance." Every track is produced at home using DTM. This is not mere home-recording - it represents the free creative spirit of the digital-native generation. Over a 13-hour time difference, they share ideas on Discord, arrange, refine, and polish their work. This remote-production structure is the very philosophy of redraw - valuing emotional connection over physical constraints. Their musical quality is also one of their greatest strengths. Mixing engineers such as Wave Yoo (IU, BLACKPINK Jennie), Ariel Chobaz (Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj), and Adachi Yoshinori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE) have participated. Furthermore, mastering was done by Idania Valencia (Charli XCX 'brat' / Grammy winner) and Chris Gehringer (Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga). They have achieved world-class sound quality rarely seen in the indie scene. Without relying on outside management, they handle production, A&R, networking - everything themselves. They have an autonomous system and unfold their creativity strategically, which is another key feature. redraw's music is not simply "songs." The works are narrative projects based on novels and essays written by dro himself, and each track carries its own theme and message. Their series project "Midnight Therapy" links 7-8 songs into a single story. Music, visuals, and narrative are organically connected - this structure underscores redraw not as an "artist," but as a "team that creates stories." In July 2024 they released their debut single "Mint for Two". It charted in the iTunes J-POP charts in multiple countries, leaving a vivid impression. Since then, within about a year, they have released eight singles - each depicting a different worldview while maintaining a consistent aesthetic and high level of completion. In the latter half of 2025 they plan to step beyond online activity to roll out studio live footage and real-life performance content. While rooted in the uniqueness built as a remote band, they aim to embody "our generation's J-POP" on real stages. redraw believes in the power of music connected not by distance or time-zones, but by emotion and story. In an era where music transcends borders and languages, they stand at the center, continuing to sketch a new form of J-POP. " A global duo sharing emotion beyond space. " That is redraw. And the new musical map that we keep drawing. Members of redraw: Rui & dro
