Hajimari (始まり)Hajimari is a collection of demos recorded between 2020 and 2026—a small archive of moments, thoughts, and feelings left untouched by time.
Rather than revisiting or perfecting them, these recordings are presented as they were found: raw, honest, imperfect, and true.
Each song captures a different season of life, tracing the quiet distance between who we were and who we are becoming. There is no attempt to hide the rough edges; they are part of the story. Voices crack, rooms breathe, and memories linger in the spaces between notes.
Though these songs come from different years, they share the same thread: a search for something real. Hajimari is both a farewell to the past and an opening toward what comes next—a reminder that every ending carries the shape of a beginning. The title reflects the EP's spirit: a beginning not marked by certainty, but by the courage to continue.
The Japanese word "hajimari" (はじまり) means "beginning," a fitting image for a work that looks back in order to move forward.
