Need

DAT (Okayama) & KAKKY (Kobe) release their latest single "Need".
DAT and KAKKY respond with vivid grooves to SAKURAI33's meticulously constructed track, anchored by sampling.
"Need" paints a relatable story of "living" through relaxed, authentic lyrics and a solid sense of rhythm.
It captures the conflicts and hopes hidden within daily life, carving them out at their raw temperature without forced embellishment.

DAT's direct, emotional verses intersect with KAKKY's fluid flow, shaping a single rhythm.
What exists isn't competition, but a natural breathing space where each draws out the other's style.
SAKURAI33's sampled beats, while distinct from jazz or mellow sounds, retain a nostalgic warmth.
The words of the two artists drifting atop them quietly blend into the listener's everyday life.

The jacket art was created by collage artist Syu Miura.
Using the technique of cutting, pasting, and connecting paper, it expresses the unique texture and warmth of analog.
The collage incorporates daily life and felt experiences, creating a design that resonates with the song's worldview.

Mastering was handled by lou from Okayama, fully drawing out the songs' intricate texture and groove.

This single possesses a light yet grounded sound, where street reality and humanity coexist,
offering a depth that prompts reflection on "reasons for living" and "what we truly need."
"Need"-it's neither the past nor an ideal, but the real impulse to survive the present.
