Kimi Wo Omou

Atoa., Ken Kamikita

かけがえのない 君の命が

僕にくれたものは きれいな空

ああ 僕は忘れないよ

青い風に乗せて 爽やかさを教えてくれた

真直ぐな太陽(こころ)は あたたかさを

白くまばゆい光は 優しさだけを 君は

君は 命をかけて 僕にさえ 教えてくれた

薄黒い(うすくらい)この世界でも

ここに居ていいのだと 抱きしめてくれていたんだ

かけがけのない 君の命が

僕にくれたものは きれいな愛(そら)

ああ 忘れないよ ここにあるから

大空よ 大空よ

    Kimi Wo Omou

    Atoa., Ken Kamikita

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.

Artist Profile

  • Atoa.

    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.
