DIVE INTO THE WHALE (2023 Remastered)

In November 2023, the rock band unit "Shiro" suddenly appeared, and the memorable first song "DIVE INTO THE WHALE" is about the universality of various living things from birth to death in this world. This song incorporates various themes into sound.
The band's name is derived from an immersive alternative sound that represents the story of the heroic Zi Lu, the oldest disciple of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius, whose simplicity and fortitude and sincere words and deeds have been passed down to future generations.
Immediately after the formation, Shiro invited Buoy(Misa Yoneyama), Gaku Ohuchi, Satoru Tsukada, Akiko Kuroda, and others to participate in the song as guest musicians, and we will work on our debut work for about a year from the end of September 2022 to October 2023. , and was pre-announced on YouTube on November 9, 2023.

This song is a lyrical immersive alternative rock that evokes Japanese emotions through various music and roots, but gradually develops dramatically and invites you to a world view on a grand scale. Guest musicians for this song, which is their first work, include drummer Gaku Ohuchi, bassist and freelance writer Satoru Tsukada (Glimpse Group), and chorus members Misa yoneyama (a.k.a Buoy) and Akiko Kuroda, also active in New York. With the participation of young violinist HANAKO MIYAJIMA and others, they add flair to the development of serious songs that once you are drawn in, there is no going back.

``I mixed this song with the aim of triggering 100 different discoveries and emotions even after listening to it 100 times, depending on the timing and condition of the listener,'' Sumida commented.
