SOTEN

SOTEN

SOTEN is a four-track mini album built around the concept of Japanese aesthetics × rock. Dressed in a kimono-inspired dress and playing a bright yellow electric guitar, Ako Itani brings together traditional Japanese imagery and powerful rock sounds in her own unique style.

The opening track, SPIRIT DRAGON,is a hard rock anthem expressing the determination to rise toward the heavens, like a dragon ascending into the sky.

Track two, SAKURA Meow FES!,is a playful festival song inspired by a gathering of adorable cats. Featuring plenty of traditional Japanese instruments, it is made to get the audience dancing and celebrating together at live shows.

Track three,YUMEKOI,combines bittersweet lyrics and melodies with a hard rock sound. Listen closely for the addictive guitar riff that makes you want to hit replay again and again.

The final track, TOMOSHIBI,is a romantic ballad written and composed by Kaori Yamamoto, perfect for a quiet autumn night. It gently closes the album with a warm and emotional glow.
