AKIRA releases his first career album “reverberation”


Tokyo-based SSW AKIRA released their 1st album “reverberation” on Wednesday, November 20th.

AKIRA has been constantly releasing singles and EPs. This work, which is the first album of his career, includes “Face” and “Fader” produced by DJ Mitsu The Beats, as well as songs produced by TOSHIKI HAYASHI (%C) and selected for Apple Music “TOKYO HIGHWAY” etc. Contains a total of 10 songs, including “waver”.

Other hip-hop producers who have a strong presence in the scene, such as 1Co.INR, MAHBIE, KO-ney, and sugarloaf, contributed tracks. AKIRA’s eclectic sound, which is uniquely sublimated by mixing hip-hop and R&B, is an impressive work.

The music video for the lead song from the album, “My self,” is scheduled to be released in December. Additionally, on December 15th (Saturday), an independently planned event “SURE SHOT” will be held at Shibuya FS. in Tokyo. Check them out as well.

[AKIRA comment]

The 1st ALBUM, “Reverberation”, is about the importance of facing yourself.
Even if we say that we should face each other, the way we face life is different depending on the moment of life, where ups and downs repeat.
I think so.
During the production period, there were more ups and downs than usual, which made the work feel even more vivid.
Through this work, I was able to expose my weaknesses, even if it was only on the beat, which was a major turning point in my life.
In terms of sound, I have music provided by HIPHOP beat makers whom I respect, and I sing with my own unique aesthetic on top of a track with a strong beat feel.
I would be happy if the entire album could become a trigger to change the direction of one’s life.
