404

Following his previous single Eyes on you, singer-songwriter Taichi Mukai reunites with producers Lumel and 2hakfor his latest release, 404.

Marking his first consecutive release since going independent, the track captures the confusion and heartbeat of falling for a friend, blending playful pop sensibilities with Mukais emotional depth.

The title 404 takes its cue from the familiar internet term Not Found.
Even though nothing seems to have changed, something suddenly feels different.
That subtle shift the fragile line between friendship and love becomes the emotional core of the song, told through bright melodies and an upbeat, rhythmic production.

Returning to his roots, Mukai embraces a hip-hop inspired groove for the first time in a while.
Tight drum patterns meet shimmering synth layers and airy vocal harmonies, creating a soundscape that balances groove, warmth, and emotional tension.
With Lumel and 2haks polished beatmaking and Mukais expressive vocals, 404 stylishly transforms the idea of a love error into something both cool and deeply human.

Lyrically, lines like Damn, so this is la la love and L-O-V-Emoji no sign stick instantly,
showcasing Mukais knack for crafting catchy, conversational lyrics that reveal quiet vulnerability beneath the surface.
The songs charm lies in that duality its breezy tone and subtle melancholy, capturing the uncertainty and excitement of loves beginning.

While Eyes on you reflected strength after a farewell, 404 shines a light on the tenderness and hesitation that come with a new start.
Together, they represent two sides of Mukais evolving artistry unafraid to show both resolve and vulnerability in equal measure.
