There’s nowhere left to run
So we hold each other tight
Hopeless in the dark
Of a never-ending night
They say we’ve got no chance but I don’t buy it
Standing off with fate
Hey it’s not too late
Don’t give in to what they all tell you
We’ve still got a fighting chance
So, let’s step back cause
Light is on our horizon
No fear can take that away now
The red sun is a risin’
To pull us through the next day
※
We can stand behind the light
Face our future and our life
Smile and know we can make this right
Rolling into view
Here it comes
Let’s step back
Light is on our horizon
No fear can take that away
Red sun is a risin’
To pull us through the next day

STEP BACK (Acoustic Ver.)
pomodorosa
This is a collaborative album released on SoundCloud in 2013.
The titles of the songs were decided first, and pomodorosa created the music, while an illustrator was commissioned to create the cover art.
It was an experimental and stimulating collaborative work, in which neither of them knew what the final product would be, and each worked on the creative process based only on the title.
The illustrators include a number of talented artists, including Mitz Vah, who is famous for his character designs for "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime."
Also included is "STAND BACK," the main theme of the music video for Suidobashi Heavy Industries, a company that made its name known around the world with its rideable humanoid robot "Kuratas," which stands over 5 meters tall.
Through this collaboration, we will be able to see a different side of pomodorosa as a songwriter.
Artist Profile
pomodorosa
pomodorosa, a Tokyo-based indie pop alchemist, spins whispery, chill soundscapes that cradle everyday moments, from cozy cafes to fleeting travels. Sparked by YMO-inspired jams at art school, they infuse anime aesthetics and J-pop culture into their music, doubling as an illustrator and character designer. Their roots - game music, bossa nova, Squarepusher's electronica, and The Beatles' timeless pop - fuel a DIY blend of jazz, electropop, and lo-fi. 2025's faux fruit weaves bossa and pop with magnetic charm, hitting 70,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 3 million streams. Fresh for teens, yet layered with depth for music nerds, their sound captivates globally. More than cafe music, pomodorosa weaves Japanese, English, and Portuguese lyrics with witty takes on modern life, blending Shibuya-kei's quirk with city pop's sleekness. Like an anime frame, their tracks paint everyday journeys - perfect for studying or daydreaming. From SoundCloud hits "Bourbon," "Saudade no Ceu de Outono," and TikTok-viral "Thunderbolt from the Blue" to worldwide stages, they're redefining chill pop. Save a track, add to your playlist, and join the pomodorosa journey on Spotify. Let's chill, wherever your travels take you! #ChillWithPomodorosa
