Car

Kohei Kamoto

He used to know how it felt

To be a complete unknown

Like all those worn-out wheels

He just kept rolling down

She used to know how it felt

To be the fool on the hill

When all the flowers bloomed

She just kept dreaming through the night

Let me drive my car

Just print that plastic card

Trust me, I'll be OK

The streets will stay the same

They used to know how it felt

To take a walk on the wild side

Let all those slappers prove

That they're going to rule the world

Let me drive my car

Just print that plastic card

Trust me, I'll be OK

The streets will stay the same

    Kohei Kamoto

Kohei Kamoto, a member of DYGL and a bandmate of Yuma Abe, who has honed his craft through tours and recordings both in Japan and abroad, will release his debut solo album Dangle Candle on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Leading the way, his first single "Car" will be available for streaming on Wednesday, October 15.
"Car" features a nostalgic lo-fi texture paired with rhythmic guitar cuts that leave a lasting impression. Kohei performs all instruments himself, while also handling the mix and the artwork, showcasing the strong personal touch of his self-produced approach. Additionally, Yuma Abe's Kohta Yuma joins as arranger and co-producer, contributing keyboards and synthesizers to create depth and organic expansiveness in the sound. The mastering is handled by Hiroshi Ikeda from hmc.
For the first time outside of his work with DYGL, Kohei Kamoto delivers his own vocals on this track, a highlight of the release. The music, imbued with both warmth and a subtle sense of melancholy, evokes the feeling of light spilling across a coastal road at sunset or the gentle shadows of a winding mountain path, blending scenery and time within the listener's mind as if riding in a car through these fleeting moments.
The single is released via Thaian Records, led by Yuma Abe, and draws attention to the new sonic landscapes Kohei Kamoto continues to explore.
