It has been announced that Araya Shodai will release his new single, “Peanut Butter” on Friday, May 9th.
Araya Shodai’s first major EP, “Hirobocchi,” released in March, is still fresh in my memory. This song was a hot topic as its demo audio was first released on social media. Vocaloid P’s vomiting 100 times was involved in the arrangement. It is an obsessive song that expresses a surreal but somewhat realistic worldview that looks like a gap between dreams and reality, with mellow tracks and lyrics scattered with wordplay.
The music video will also be premiered at 9:00pm, the release date. The music video animation and artwork are handled by Nomoto Takafumi of yonawo, where Araya Shodai previously worked.
Live streaming will also be available on Instagram and TikTok from 8:00pm just before the MV release. Also check it out.
