Atarayo explores dreams and emotions in new mini album ‘Utakata 泡沫の夢は幻に’

Atarayo invites listeners into a world of fleeting dreams and heartfelt emotion with their new mini album, “Utakata 泡沫の夢は幻に.” Expanding on fan favorites “drop 雫,” “moon ship ツキノフネ,” and “I still love you 忘愛,” the album adds five new tracks exploring the theme of dreams—each one a reflection of hope, heartbreak, and the courage to move forward.

Exploring new sounds and perspectives

The album kicks off with “Asanagi 朝凪,” released as a pre-single on September 17. The upbeat, electronic-tinged track introduces a fresh side of Atarayo, setting the tone for the rest of the release. Another standout, “Yumeutsutsu natsukazekaoru 夢現、夏風薫る,” is a self-cover of a 2023 track originally written by vocalist and guitarist Hitomi. This new version features guitarist Marcy on lead vocals, showcasing the band’s adventurous spirit and willingness to reimagine their sound.

Dreams that resonate deeply

Hitomi shares, “This album was created around the theme of ‘dreams.’ It’s full of lyrics that could only be written because we stumbled and got hurt along the way. I hope that everyone who listens to it feels they are not alone.”

With “Utakata 泡沫の夢は幻に,” Atarayo turns fleeting dreams into unforgettable moments—a mini album that hits the heart, lifts the spirit, and reminds listeners that even the briefest dreams can leave a lasting mark.
