In 2020, when "freedom" was taken from the world, ARKTA was born, despite the distance between Tokyo and Los Angeles. Turning that adversity into strength, we poured everything we had built into these five tracks. "Phase 0" has come to an end, this EP marks the true beginning of ARKTA. May the emotions we've driven into overdrive reach beyond Tokyo and LA, and resonate across the world.
