GENEMA to Release 3rd Single "21SEIKI" in May 2025
- A High-Addiction Anthem Themed Around "Lupin Stealing an
Entire Century" -

GENEMA, the music group led by pianist, composer, and film director
Ryotaro Terada, will release its third single "21SEIKI" in May 2025 on major
streaming platforms.

Entirely self-produced by Terada-who handled the track production, rap, and piano performance-the song revolves around a bold and surreal
concept: *a modern-day Lupin attempting to steal the 21st century
itself as a priceless treasure.*

Driven by a cool and raw beat, the track pairs cinematic storytelling with hypnotic repetition of the phrase "21SEIKI."
The lyrics paint a vivid image of a century-thief in action, and as the
chorus loops, the listener may begin to feel as if they too are becoming
Lupin, stealing away with time itself.

One standout lyric, "Wait-what century are we in again?" is delivered with casual nonchalance. In 2025, a time when most people have grown up
fully immersed in the 21st century, the question feels oddly irrelevant
-almost like asking what day of the week it is. This nonchalant line,
however, reflects a perspective that transcends time and gives the
track a strikingly grand sense of scale.

Coinciding with the digital release, GENEMA will premiere the official
music video on their YouTube channel. Set in a vast, empty landscape of
sea and sand, the visual features a lone figure shouting "21SEIKI!" into a
glowing sunset-a surreal and unforgettable image that is sure to leave a
lasting impression.
