NURUWOWAKA is a five-track EP by Japanese artist Shoken.

Shaped by the experience of losing a loved one, the record explores love, gratitude, joy, and a renewed appreciation for the quiet happiness of everyday life.

Rather than seeking to forget or overcome grief, the EP reflects on the discoveries that emerge while continuing to live with it.

Produced by Goro Takayama, the record combines restrained beats, sample-like textures, organic instrumentation, and the warmth of vintage soul, leaving room for the words, voice, and silence.

    Born in Gifu in 1979. As a member of Romancrew, he released the self-produced EP "mi familia" in 2003. In 2004, he released the EP "Fly High" on P-VINE; from 2007 to 2008, he released two albums on Aer-born, a label under Amuse; and in 2011, he released an album on FILE RECORDS. He has also been responsible for numerous pieces of artwork, including album cover art. He captivated audiences of all ages with his deep voice and unique style, but left Romancrew in 2012. After a period of trying his hand at various things-releasing solo work and acting-he became a stay-at-home dad. In 2024, he released the single "COLLAGE" with Romancrew. He had been living a quiet, peaceful life, but when he found something he wanted to express, he resumed his musical activities. He released the solo EP "Iroha" produced by MATSUMOTO HISATAAKAA, owner of VINYL7 RECORDS, in May 2026; the EP "Nihotetchi" produced by Cosaq of Umeda Cypher, in September; and the single "Ju-Shin-Ho" in September. As smoothly as possible, as beautifully as possible.
