"Setsuna" portrays people whose hearts, wounded by anxiety and loneliness, try to find relief in fleeting pleasures. In this way, it captures a theme that feels universal in today's world.
The sound was crafted with the energy of clubs and live stages in mind, built on the concept of a jazzy four-on-the-floor groove. The track opens with a saxophone and flute unison, before the chorus bursts with cutting electric guitar and a brass section, raising the tension to its peak. In the interlude, saxophone and flute each take the spotlight with solos that express fleeting sparks of emotion, while subtle layers of synthesizer add depth and a dreamlike urban atmosphere.
The lyrics depict paranoia, unhealed wounds, and distorted love, yet also express the salvation found the moment two hearts touch and melt together - Setsuna.
With its urban and jazzy harmonies interwoven with sensuality and loneliness, Setsuna delivers mouscream's unique crossover of City Pop and Jazz Pop into an intensely emotional track.
Music that gently keeps you company on days when it's hard to be honest with yourself. Grounded in 70s-90s Japanese pop, I create genre-fluid music that weaves together elements of City Pop, Neo-Acoustic, Funk, and Jazz at times expanding into full orchestral and big-band arrangements. My sound features nostalgic melodies with a subtle, unexpected twist, paired with lyrics that offer a philosophical perspective. While vocals are primarily powered by Synthesizer V AI Ayame, I also step behind the microphone myself on select tracks.
