Emerging Tokyo-based musician STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION is launching his new song “MONOGRAM” on Friday, November 17. This unique composition delves into the profound connection between family, interpersonal bonding, and personal identity – all set against a backdrop of electronic, pop, and rock influences, with a special focus on piano rock.
Inspired by the idea that a name is the first gift one receives in life, STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION explores the concept that the name bestowed upon us becomes an enduring connection with our inner selves. By contemplating the emotions and significance behind our names, we can forge a deep bond, using our names as guiding stars throughout life’s journey.
It’s been a long time since I released a new sound for SDF! I want listeners to feel the passion and nostalgia packed into piano rock and be able to enjoy it.
MONOGRAM is featured as the theme song for popular Game App: “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: ISEKAI Memories.”
For those eager to explore the depths of “MONOGRAM,” the song’s lyrics are available in both Japanese and English, enabling a broader audience to appreciate the artistry and message contained within the song. These lyrics convey a deep emotional connection to names, bonds, and the world’s beauty, inviting listeners to embark on a heartfelt musical journey.
