The fin. released their new single “Towards the Sun” today, Wednesday, July 24th.
This year, The fin. will perform at SXSW in Texas, USA, and will also be performing at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL’24 this weekend. This is their first new song since last December, and it is a mellow summer song that evokes nostalgia. As Yuto Uchino (Vocals, Synth) says, “This song is filled with vividly changing emotions, memories, and personal changes in my heart,” this song is a continuation of The fin.’s previous work “Swans,” and along with the change in emotions, it also shows a change in their musical style.
In addition, at “FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL’24,” in addition to the members Yuto Uchino and Kaoru Nakazawa (Ba.), they will be performing as a special four-person lineup with drummer Taiki Matsuura (D.), who is also active in She Her Her Hers, and saxophonist Hinata Ishii (Sax./Synth.). They are also planning to perform this song.
Also, todayJ-WAVE “GRAND MARQUEE”Yuto Uchino will be appearing live on the guest corner “RADIO ENSEMBLE” from around 17:10. He will talk about the behind-the-scenes stories of the new song.
[Comment from Yuto Uchino (The fin.)]
“Towards the Sun” is a song filled with vividly changing emotions, memories and personal changes in my mind. Inspired by the beautiful beaches and light of Nice, and the nature-rich Takarazuka and Kobe that are my hometowns, this song is wrapped in the bright blue and yellow atmosphere of those places and a dark, nostalgic atmosphere. It feels like two far-away elements are connected in my heart and exist while changing shape along with my ego.
After finishing my latest album, “Outer Ego,” I wanted to put new emotions into my music. This song was born out of that challenge. Working with Tomo Carter and Hinata Ishii added a lot of color to the song, and it was a really fun production process.
With summer in full swing right now, I think this song is perfect. I hope it resonates with you and that you enjoy it too!
