"Perch" is a progressive metal composition that explores the struggle of existence caught between exhaustion and hope, told through the metaphor of a bird flying on broken wings. The track features a striking contrast between delicate passages woven with clean guitars, piano, and synthesizers, and heavy, intense Djent sections driven by 7-string guitar, creating a sonic landscape where grace and power collide.
The lyrics poetically express the determination and fragility of a being who "doesn't know true rest" yet chooses to keep flying. Even with imitation wings, the act of soaring above darkness mirrors our own contemporary existence. The alternating soundscape of tranquil serenity and fierce intensity embodies the journey of a soul wandering in search of a resting place.
Based in Ibaraki, Japan, singer-songwriter and producer bubu began a new musical chapter in May 2025, featuring vocalist Moka Miyamai. His soundscape is built on a unique fusion of heavy, Djent-inspired guitar work and nostalgic, cinematic orchestration. By weaving earth-shaking riffs with delicate piano melodies and starlit strings, he creates a world where aggression and silence breathe together in perfect harmony. Lyrically, his songs explore the quiet corners of the human heart-introspective struggles, the longing for liberation, and the awe of the night sky. He wraps these universal emotions in poetic metaphors, offering stories that resonate deeply with each listener's own memories. Drawing inspiration from the technical precision of progressive metal giants like Dream Theater and Periphery, and the dramatic, symphonic beauty of Kalafina and Japanese video game scores, he filters these influences through his own artistic lens. As a self-produced artist handling everything from composition to mastering, he continues to pursue a genre-defying sound that is unmistakably his own.
