Anonymouz Drops New Digital Single “Araizarai feat. Haruno” on February 2nd
The next-gen Internet-born singer-songwriter-producer Haruno features in this latest hit. The track, imbued with Haruno’s signature groovy vibe, showcases a delightful interplay of their voices, creating a number that resonates with ease and comfort. “Araizarai” (Laid Bare) captures the relatable frustration of wanting to fully understand each other’s feelings, yet struggling to be frank—a song that strikes a chord with its emotional depth.
Haruno’s Comment
I’ve always wanted to be someone who can sheath their sword when they sense differences in opinions with others—not as a matter of right or wrong, but simply as a matter of perspective. But sometimes, I wonder if life would be boring if that’s all there was to it.
I think this song captures that feeling. Please enjoy it!
Anonymouz’s Comment
I’ve always loved Haruno’s songs, where the lyrics and melody unite to create a groovy sound, and I was thrilled about the prospect of what kind of song we could create together. Working with Haruno’s world view and being repeatedly mesmerized by her voice, it was truly delightful to collaborate from scratch and create a new song.
“Araizarai” is about two people who have a lot they want to ask each other but can’t quite be honest about it.
I hope this song captures the excitement and the slight frustration of wanting to know someone deeper.
Please give it a listen 🙂
