Tokyo-based four-piece indie band Mizuirazu presents a remix of their 2022 single "bakeru" by Cwondo - the solo project of Taisei Kondo, who also serves as the guitarist and vocalist of No Buses.
The original track weaves together themes such as yokai (Japanese folk spirits), incels, urban life, and fictional personas, incorporating elements of Indonesian kecak and traditional Japanese folk music. These sonic elements are restructured in this remix.
The track is featured on the B-side of the 12-inch vinyl uturu / bakeru, released in August 2025. The A-side includes "uturu" and "uturu (Ben Nobuto Remix)," while the B-side features "bakeru" and "bakeru (Cwondo Remix)."
Formed in 2016, Mizuirazu is a four-piece indie rock band based in Tokyo. Their music is rooted in conceptual approaches such as composing from ideas and philosophies, reinterpretations of Asian folk traditions, and a standalone complex ethos, resulting in a sound that is both experimental and deeply personal. The band released their debut full-length album Almost Empty in December 2020, followed by su-mu (2021), bakeru (2022), and uturu (2023). Through these works, they have developed a distinctive approach that integrates Asian rhythms and scales into a band centered sound, drawing increasing attention from across Japan's alternative scene. In February 2025, Mizuirazu expanded their creative scope by composing runway music for the 2025-26 Fall/Winter collection of fashion brand amok. On August 8, they released a 12 inch single uturu / bakeru, featuring remixes by Ben Nobuto and Cwondo. Later that month, on August 29, the band will release their long awaited second full length album Throw Away the Water, Go Back to Intimacy, their first in five years.
