幕が開けて
雲が退く時
静かな歓声が
歓迎してくれた
あの空にぽつんと
居残っていた
みすぼらしい青さを
見させてあげたかった
塩風にまかせ
水平線先を見た
果てしない青に
涙を流した
雨色のせいにして
口癖もこぼした
醜い色も耐えきれぬまま落ちて
ジュリリ
涙を手に握って
傘をあげた
青い空が今は
嘘らしく見えた
心を押しつぶす嫉妬
望まなかった天性
同じ夢を抱きながら
変わらずに汚れているまま
塩風に吹かれ
波流れを見た
夢に近づけば
弱さがバレちゃった
雨色のせいにした
透き通った世界で
霧を晴らして
さざ波へ
触れたかったんだ
夢で見たまんまの
水色の雨
色落ちを見て
ぼーっとしちゃう
塩風にまかせ
水平線先を見た
果てしない青に
涙を流した
手が届きそうだった
長い夢を見て
どこかが静かな叫びが
聞こえてくる

Ameiro
redraw
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."

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. Members: Rui & dro
