Sirup unveils new album owari diary with bold sonic vision
Japanese R&B standout SIRUP returns with his third album, Owari Diary, a bold solo statement that examines the tension between chaos and hope in modern life. The record mixes neo-soul, R&B, gospel and hip-hop into a sound that feels both polished and emotionally raw.
The lead single, “KIRA KIRA,” was produced by Australia’s Taka Perry, who handled more than half the album’s tracks. The song pairs racing beats with shimmering melodies to capture the thrill and confusion of urban nights and sets the sonic tone for the record.
Kira Kira anchors album with neon-lit single
The “KIRA KIRA” music video transforms SIRUP into three striking personas: a rebellious biker tearing through neon streets, a charismatic politician delivering a forceful speech, and a surreal futuristic icon. The visuals deliver a cyberpunk energy that merges kinetic storytelling with bold symbolism, reflecting the album’s exploration of identity and public life.
Three personas blur reality and imagination
Across the album, SIRUP navigates uncertainty and personal reckoning, asking listeners to find their own light amid the noise. Owari Diary expands his artistry, balancing high-concept imagery with intimate songwriting that underlines his place in contemporary R&B.
