とうに僕をすべて消費してしまった
関係の中で僕に残されたもの
静寂の中に
聞こえてくる不器用に揺れる
ミントキャンディー
手に取れるから取り出してみた
いつ買ったか もうわからない
湿った爽快感を渡しながら
ねえ
「一つ食べる？」
戻ろうか？ 僕たちはさ
互いに慣れ過ぎたせいかしら
手を取り何もしないで
閉ざされた声で聞くのは
嫌だから
隠した言い訳と自己失望が
積み重なるみんな答を知り
生きるのに
遅れを取る僕だけが
愚か者みたいだな
進路の紙には一つも
未来を描けず躊躇いの中に
錨を下ろしたんだ
静かに笑ってみせる
ねえ
別れるかな？ 僕のことは
眼鏡越しの冷たい愛も欲しくて
手を離したいけど僕
本当に去るかもと思いながら
不出来な僕だから輝く君だから
距離感を感じたのかな
流れ落ちた前髪と
しわくちゃのシャツも
プレゼントされた香水も
全てが感じられてそう思った
それだけじゃ足りないんじゃない？
永遠はそんなものじゃないんだ

Artist Profile
redraw
redraw is a J-POP duo formed across opposite sides of the planet, consisting of producer dro and vocalist Rui. Working within different countries, languages, and daily rhythms, they continue their activities through a process built on sharing emotion beyond physical distance and time difference. The two met in February 2024 via SNS (X), connected by a single common ground: music. dro produces tracks from a university dorm in the United States, while Rui records vocals in a small space in Japan. The sound that emerges from these separated environments reflects a generation for whom online collaboration has become a natural creative standard. All releases are developed through a DTM-first workflow, completed from each member's own base. With a 13-hour time difference between them, they exchange ideas on Discord, repeatedly iterating between arrangement and vocal direction while trading perspectives and insights until a song is finished. This remote structure is not a workaround, but a philosophy-transforming real-world constraints into a deliberate method of making music. For final sonic precision, redraw collaborates with external engineers depending on each track's character. Their work has involved mixing contributions from Wave Yoo (IU, BLACKPINK Jennie), Ariel Chobaz (Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj), and Adachi Yoshinori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE), with mastering by Idania Valencia (Charlie XCX brat) and Chris Gehringer (Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga). In July 2024, redraw launched their activities with the debut single "Futari no Mint (Mint for Two)". The track entered the iTunes J-Pop Top Songs Top 200, reaching #22 (US) and #3 (TH). Over roughly the following year, the duo continued a consistent release run, putting out eight singles: "Tuyuhana", "Black Out", "Midnight Therapy", "Rafflesia Dance", "Kasumisou", "Ameiro", and "Bed Timing." In 2025, "Midnight Therapy" charted in multiple countries' iTunes J-Pop Top Songs rankings, and "Ameiro" recorded #4 on the US iTunes J-Pop Top Songs Top 200. In 2025, their channel metrics grew steadily, surpassing 1M total YouTube views and 1.2M minutes streamed on Spotify. They currently stand at approximately 50K YouTube subscribers and 50K Instagram followers, continuing to expand while remaining primarily online-based. redraw's work often extends beyond standalone "songs," frequently built alongside narrative elements drawn from dro's writing (novels/essays) and the duo's lived experiences. In particular, "Midnight Therapy" unfolds as a series, expanding into a project where music, story, and visuals move together under a unified concept. Going forward, redraw plans to maintain their online-first production model while extending their formats into studio live videos, performance-driven content, and other forms of expression.
