The raindrop was always trapped in its own sense of inferiority.
The reason was the boundless sea stretching out in the distance.

Though made of the same water, the sea was vast and blue, welcoming people gladly into its embrace.
Rain, on the other hand, was damp and gray, something people avoided beneath their umbrellas.

"I am surely the same as the sea... I, too, want to become the sea."
So the raindrop whispered.

One day, when the dark clouds parted for a moment, it gathered courage and leapt into the sea.
Abandoning itself, heading toward the endless horizon-
To become the sea it had always dreamed of.

Before its eyes spread a vast and blue world.
There was even a seaside village, where small cottages stood together in clusters.

And at last, when its body touched the sea, the color of the girl's dress began to change.
The black dissolved and disappeared, and white spread out like waves.
As if to bless her, the sea wrapped her in its embrace.

She was no longer rain.
She had cast aside the self she despised, and at last, she had become the sea.

At that moment, a boy stood before her.
He was a child who had come from the city.

His hair had once been golden, but he dyed it black to blend in.
Yet as time passed, the gold began to show again, and for that reason alone, he was shunned.

Disillusioned with human relationships, the boy left the city and came to live at his grandmother's house in the seaside village.
Lying on the veranda, staring at the sky, he saw a single drop fall from afar.
Pure and transparent, the raindrop glimmered-and he fell in love.

Even knowing it was an impossible love, the boy plucked a blue hydrangea from the roadside and ran to the sea.

There he saw her-standing at the edge of the waves, her face radiant with joy.
Hesitant, he held out the flower in his hand.
His scraped knee glistened in the sun, his cheeks burned red-
All his shyness laid bare.

The girl, with tears in her eyes, accepted the flower.
And she gave the brightest smile in the world.

Their love seemed impossible.
And yet, the boy offered his love.
And yet, the girl abandoned herself to become the sea she had dreamed of.

Despite their wounds, despite their feelings of inferiority, the two sought out their own light.

This story, perhaps, is a message to myself.
Even if people mock me for being different,
Even if I bristle with thorns in my insecurity-
And yet, I must walk my own path.

No matter how dark a past I carry,
One day, I must journey further.

And upon the blue sea, it will finally be engraved:
"And yet, still."

Artist Profile

  • redraw

    A J-Pop duo, bound by music across the globe redraw is a duo formed by two people on opposite sides of the globe, connected through music. Producer dro and vocalist Rui make up this duo, sharing emotion across physical distance and time-zones - a new form of global music project that's drawing attention. They met via social media (X) in February 2024, and despite being in different countries, speaking different languages, and living in different environments, they became deeply connected through the one thing they shared: music. dro produces tracks in a university dorm in the U.S., while Rui records vocals in a small closet in Japan. The sound born from such a distant production environment symbolizes exactly the "sound of a generation transcending distance." Every track is produced at home using DTM. This is not mere home-recording - it represents the free creative spirit of the digital-native generation. Over a 13-hour time difference, they share ideas on Discord, arrange, refine, and polish their work. This remote-production structure is the very philosophy of redraw - valuing emotional connection over physical constraints. Their musical quality is also one of their greatest strengths. Mixing engineers such as Wave Yoo (IU, BLACKPINK Jennie), Ariel Chobaz (Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj), and Adachi Yoshinori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE) have participated. Furthermore, mastering was done by Idania Valencia (Charli XCX 'brat' / Grammy winner) and Chris Gehringer (Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga). They have achieved world-class sound quality rarely seen in the indie scene. Without relying on outside management, they handle production, A&R, networking - everything themselves. They have an autonomous system and unfold their creativity strategically, which is another key feature. redraw's music is not simply "songs." The works are narrative projects based on novels and essays written by dro himself, and each track carries its own theme and message. Their series project "Midnight Therapy" links 7-8 songs into a single story. Music, visuals, and narrative are organically connected - this structure underscores redraw not as an "artist," but as a "team that creates stories." In July 2024 they released their debut single "Mint for Two". It charted in the iTunes J-POP charts in multiple countries, leaving a vivid impression. Since then, within about a year, they have released eight singles - each depicting a different worldview while maintaining a consistent aesthetic and high level of completion. In the latter half of 2025 they plan to step beyond online activity to roll out studio live footage and real-life performance content. While rooted in the uniqueness built as a remote band, they aim to embody "our generation's J-POP" on real stages. redraw believes in the power of music connected not by distance or time-zones, but by emotion and story. In an era where music transcends borders and languages, they stand at the center, continuing to sketch a new form of J-POP. " A global duo sharing emotion beyond space. " That is redraw. And the new musical map that we keep drawing. Members of redraw: Rui & dro
