生まれてない街に憧れて 季節があるならどこだってよかった

生まれてない街に憧れて 海が近ければ尚更よかった

生まれてない街に住み着いて 僕たち二人はたまたま出会ったね

流れ星のように街を歩いていた 私と出会って願いは叶ったの

No no no no no…

君は上手に優しくなれる 君は上手に楽しくなれる

君は上手に寂しくなれる 君は上手に嬉しくなれる

やっぱりお前だ やっぱりお前だ やっぱりお前だ

生まれてない街に憧れて 似たような顔した僕らの青春を

生まれてない街に憧れて もう一度お前に歌って欲しいだけ

君は上手に優しくなれる 君は上手に楽しくなれる

君は上手に寂しくなれる 君は上手に嬉しくなれる

やっぱりお前だ やっぱりお前だ やっぱりお前だ

It’s you you you you…

"ROM" is an 11-track album centered around themes of memory and playback, love and loss.

The title carries a double meaning: "Read Only Memory" - memories that cannot be rewritten - and "Rom," a childhood nickname. As the name suggests, the record quietly imprints fragments of emotion that drift between past and present, self and others.

Recorded in the winter of 2024 at Kochi's home studio, the album was tracked on analog tape. Moving fluidly across folk, rock, and kayōkyoku (Japanese pop), it gently captures the pains of everyday life and inexpressible longing.

Kochi handled most of the production and performance himself, resulting in a work that is deeply personal yet open - a new point of arrival in his artistic expression.
