Atsuno, who gained strong acclaim with her previous releases Sight and Forecasting, is now set to release her first new single in nearly two years. After building her career in Tokyo, she relocated to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2024, taking on a new challenge as an artist committed to sharing Japanese culture with audiences around the world.
The new single blends inspirations drawn from her daily life and cultural experiences in Dubai with a sound that evokes the warm, catchy essence of 1980s Japan. The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and fresh, offering a universally relatable appeal across generations.
For this release, DJ Sachiho joins the project, bringing experience from producing for numerous major artists including CrazyBoy, Doberman Infinity, GENERATIONS, IZ*ONE, SWAY, The Mode, Villshana, Mahiru, and more.Together, they crafted a sound that merges retro textures with a refreshing sense of drive, achieving a balance of modernity, familiarity, and emotional warmth.
Shaped by her move to Dubai and the time she spent reflecting on human connection, self-love, and solitude, the song carries a quiet yet powerful message: every version of oneself is worthy of love, and the simple moments that make up everyday life are where true happiness resides. These themes are woven gently into the track's clean melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
With its uplifting tone and breezy atmosphere, the song stands as a positive neo city pop anthem that is perfect for starting the day, taking a weekend drive, or simply brightening the listener's mood. It is a track that encourages people to slow down, take a breath, and rediscover joy in the ordinary.
Atsuno is a Japanese singer and songwriter. She moved to Tokyo to pursue music and studied at a vocational college, where she was deeply inspired by gospel and Black music. This passion eventually led her to perform as a lead vocalist in ensemble groups at churches in Los Angeles. After gaining experience as a back-up vocalist and recording with major artists such as Masayuki Suzuki and Yuzu, she began her solo career. In 2017 she formed the piano and vocal unit The Mode and released three albums titled Heaven, Drown and Geometry. Her 2020 single I wanna be your home was featured on the Tower Records media platform TOWER DOORS and reached second place in the weekly ranking. In 2021 she released Sight under her own name, handling both vocals and lyrics. The song was selected for official playlists on Spotify and Apple Music and surpassed one hundred thousand streams. Atsuno continues to grow as an artist, performing with internationally acclaimed musicians such as Judith Hill and Rob Bacon. In November 2023 she appeared at Japan Culture Con in Dubai, where she received strong media attention, including coverage in Gulf News, one of the largest outlets in the Middle East. She is widely regarded as a rising vocalist with the potential to thrive both in Japan and abroad.
