Japanese Artist KAIKA Shares Intimate New Single 'Stand By Me'
Latest From Burgeoning Creator Explores Tension Between Youth And Adulthood
Tokyo, Japan — Burgeoning Japanese singer-songwriter KAIKA offers an intimate look into the tension between youth and adulthood on the just-released single “Stand By Me.” The latest work from the alter ego of pioneering virtual artist KAF builds on the vulnerability and earnestness that have defined KAIKA across 2024, while also revealing new sonic dimensions to the project.
The slowly unfolding song finds KAIKA in a sentimental mood, the protagonist in an anxious state while on the border of becoming an adult, and hoping the people…and feelings…from her youth carry on into the next part of her life. To underline the emotions stewing at the center of “Stand By Me,” the music itself builds from sparse piano melodies to a soaring guitar-powered climax adding urgency to the lyrics.
“Stand By Me” shows the continued artistic growth of KAIKA, who wrote and produced the whole song. It also underlines her own musical curiosity in exploring the transition from being a kid to being an adult, and navigating the ups and downs that come with it.
“Stand By Me” is out on all major streaming services.
