Look Up!

On May 13th, Kanta Sakoi will release his new single, "Look Up!"

The 21-year-old musical artist, based out of Pocket Room, continues to push the boundaries of "New J-POP." His previous EP, Scientific Meditation, earned critical acclaim for its seamless fusion of complex, innovative soundscapes with catchy melodies.

This latest single is a piano-pop track centered on the theme of "burn out" . Kanta handled the entire production himself, from songwriting and composition to arrangement.

The song captures the feeling of being unable to move one's mind or body despite having the potential a state where nothing feels enjoyable anymore. Drawing from his own experiences, Sakoi created this track to offer a sense of peace to those going through the same struggle.

A key highlight of this work is its dynamic sonic progression, which serves as a vivid reflection of the human heart. It shifts from a sharp rock sound in the verses depicting an outpouring of frustration and anxiety into a gospel-inspired piano-pop anthem that celebrates the simple solace of "looking up at the blue sky."

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this is a soul-stirring piece dedicated to everyone navigating the difficulties of this particular season.
