Lyric
Mother's Face (Waraku ver.)
Ken Kamikita, Atoa.
まだ未明 昨夜の涙雨が流した 埃と記憶
さまよった路地に 飢えた生き物
絵画にしようと色はない
振り払って走る 振り払って走る
振り払って走る 振り払って
私 世界の顔を追い求め
逆光に眩まされたんだ
恐ろしい笑みと冷たい目のあれが
本物だなんて信じない
世界の顔を追い求める
辿ってゆく深みの果てに
私を裸にしてしまう どうしようもない優しさを
天井の火
同じように掴もうとして灼かれた手は
引き寄せてみたかったのかもしれない
瞳を交換できる その誰か
目に映るものはひとつの見方でしかなくて
心の数と同じだけ ひしめいているんだろう
泡のように増えては弾ける
この世界への疑いを
振り払って走る 振り払って走る
振り払って走る 振り払って
私 世界の顔を追い求め
逆光に眩まされたんだ
恐ろしい笑みと冷たい目のあれが
本物だなんて信じない
世界の顔を追い求める
辿ってゆく深みの果てに
私を裸にしてしまう どうしようもない優しさを
私を裸にしてしまう どうしようもない優しさを

The first full-length album by "Waraku", a musical unit featuring singer-songwriter Ken Kamikita and Tokio Takahashi and Akira Takahashi of the Japanese drum group "Atoa.".
Since 2017, the two groups have collaborated on numerous stage music projects, working together on songwriting and production. Through an alternative musical expression that blends vocals with traditional Japanese instruments, electronic sounds, and unique Japanese rhythms, they have developed their own distinct musical genre: "Waraku Music".
The album features a total of nine exquisite tracks, including the three songs released digitally between 2025 and 2026-"Kōen Yōtō", "FLAIR", and "Hoshi no Naraku"-as well as re-recorded and newly arranged versions of songs previously performed as stage music. A live tour commemorating the release of this full-length album will begin in November 2026.

A Japanese drum unit formed by Tokio Takahashi and Akira Takahashi. Following the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, they left the world-renowned Japanese drum team Kodo and returned to their hometown of Sendai to form Atoa. In 2011, they performed with Tsukamoto Reijiro, a Noh actor designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property. In 2016, they appeared in a stage production directed by Noda Hideo at the Roppongi Hills Arena. They also collaborated with actress Rie Miyazawa and the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. In 2017, they performed at Kyoto Nijo Castle with Takako Matsu and EGO-WRAPPIN's, Yoshie Nakano. In 2018, they collaborated with singer-songwriter Ken Kamikita on the stage production The Garment of Life, creating a new world using Japanese drums, vocals, and electronic sound sources. On New Year's Day 2020, they performed as the main guest at the opening ceremony of the JFA 99th Japan Football Championship at the National Stadium. They performed in front of approximately 75,000 spectators. In 2021, they performed at the Otsuki Noh Theater in Osaka with director Kōhei Nakadachi and others in a production of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix: The Strange Tale. The stage was enhanced with projections, and the production faithfully reproduced Tezuka's original artwork, receiving positive reviews. They also served as the musical director for the production. As a team, they will celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2026, based in Sendai City while touring nationwide and internationally for performances. They collaborate with other genres, explore musical expression, and plan and operate various events, expanding the scope of Japanese drum performance and their activities, with expectations for further growth.
