散々な土砂降りも
今日は嫌じゃないな
大粒の水滴が
運んで作る桜の川を
飛び越えて 飛び越えて
掴まえていたいモノ
こんなんじゃ駄目だって
そんなの分かってる
行き場のない感情が
溢れて作る涙の海も
飛び越えて 飛び越えて
抱きしめていたい人
願いは一つだけ
想いも一つだけ
君のすぐ傍で
歩いていたいだけ
それだけで
それだけでいい
肝心な一言が
声にならないな
夕暮れに並ぶ影
終わる春を眺めていた
足りてないモノなんて
何一つなくて
有り触れてて 手に余り
捨ててしまう
繰り返す「生活」を
目を凝らして探すんだ
ガラクタだってさ
宝物に変わるんだよ
願いは一つだけ
想いも一つだけ
君のすぐ傍で
歳をとって行けたら
時が経って全部が
変わってしまったとしても
この気持ちはきっと変わらない
君と生きていたいだけ
繰り返す季節を
それだけで
それだけでいい

A New Breath, A Miracle of Music Rising from the Depths
The debut EP "Breathing And Life" offers more than just melodies and rhythms-it's the very breath of the artist.
The music crafted by s-o-a begins with a fleeting, transformative breath that vibrates through the air, showcasing a quiet yet powerful way of life. "Breathing And Life" speaks to your innermost depths, blending moments of calm with intense emotional intersections.
"Breath" explores the internal conflict we face in the monotony of everyday life and the drowning sensation that arises within it.
In those moments when emotions are suppressed, even the smallest breath of relief becomes salvation, and this song, with its emotional waves, will resonate deeply within the listener's heart.
Next, "Crack" turns attention to the subtle fractures that hide within our daily lives, depicting the struggle of holding on to things that are broken and difficult to let go of.
This track, recorded in a raw, unedited one-take approach, adds even more authenticity to the lyrics and performance, conveying the strength and fragility of living on a precarious edge.
Then comes "Spring Thunder".
This instrumental piece incorporates the sound of thunder, capturing the chaotic forces of nature and the anticipation of the new steps that follow.
The entire track speaks beyond words, reaching straight to the heart.
The final track features the acoustic version of "The right way" the memorable first single.
Reworked into an acoustic sound, this version emphasizes the warm tones of the acoustic guitar and piano, allowing the pure sentiment of the lyrics-"I want to grow old with you"-to resonate even more directly.
This acoustic version brings forth the essence of s-o-a's music in its purest form.
"Breathing And Life" is a work centered around acoustic sounds that speaks to the importance of facing life head-on, while finding the strength to live without losing oneself.
This EP, delicate yet powerful, brings a sense of nostalgia and provides music that resonates with everyone living in the present moment.
Artist Profile
s-o-a
s-o-a is a Japanese acoustic unit formed in 2019. Delivering music that is simple yet deeply resonant, they continue to touch the hearts of listeners with their honest sound. Their lyrics, rich with emotional depth and strength, paired with delicate yet powerful arrangements, instantly capture the hearts of those who listen. All songs are written and composed by kageyama (vocals, guitar) and zero (guitar, vocals). Through their distinct perspectives, the duo crafts songs that explore universal themes such as loneliness, love, inner conflict, and hope with both sincerity and sharp insight. Kageyama's lyrics gently express inner turmoil and solitude, wrapping the listener in a quiet intimacy. In contrast, zero's lyrics paint vivid scenes of entangled love, isolation, struggle, and hope resonating with raw emotional power. Their contrasting individualities intertwine to create words and melodies with a truly unique presence, delivering a powerful message to all who listen. While their sound is rooted in acoustic music, s-o-a isn't bound by limitations often blending in electric elements in pursuit of broader expression. Live performances are typically centered on acoustic guitars, but with occasional full band arrangements that add depth and dynamic range to their sound. Visual identity is also key to s-o-a's appeal. Artworks by Kuroi are minimalistic yet striking a perfect visual counterpart to the music, vividly expressing the band's worldview. s-o-a's music shines a light of hope into the darkness of solitude and pain. It goes beyond mere song offering quiet companionship and strength to those who need it most.
