Kakioki is a song by 043 yomi, written as a message he would want to leave behind after he is gone. Not as heavy as a will, but more like a heartfelt note, something that quietly remains for the people who shared his life.
The track falls under the niche genre of Sad Regalia, blending nostalgic RPG inspired production by Brazilian beatmaker novachance with lyrics grounded in everyday reality. The cover artwork, created by Futtonkone Shokunin, incorporates pages from 043 yomi actual notebook to further tie the song back to its intimate origins.
Both the music video and artist photos were shot by rising visual creator Kankurou Yukioka, adding a strong visual identity to the project.
Following the success of his debut single Ajisai, which charted at 65 on iTunes Japan Hip Hop Rap Top Songs, Kakioki captures the essence of gratitude and vulnerability. With an upcoming guest live at NEW ROAD this September, it marks the next step in 043 yomi growing journey.
