Musician Nao’ymt’s 25th anniversary project, “Yataki Naoaki 2025.” The story, which began with “End of the World” on January 1st and has woven a “hymn to life” around peace, love, sadness, and the four seasons, reaches a major milestone with the 11th installment, “Total Eclipse.” Approximately 17 years after their first encounter on “Inside Your Head” (2008), Nao’ymt’s duet with Daichi Miura, with whom he has a deep history and with whom he has entrusted many songs and collaborated on “Sphere” (2018), has finally come to fruition. The sound is a slow, undulating 64 BPM. From the tranquil verses, the chorus suddenly opens up the dynamics. Hybrid drums pulse, strings add scale, and distorted, cutting guitar rippling the tension. Nao sings the first verse, Miura the second. Each time their voices overlap in the chorus, the light shining through the shadows deepens. The improvisational exchanges from the bridge tremble to the soul. The title “Total Eclipse” refers to all eclipsed. The English lyrics, “All eclipsed / … Raise your head high / Stand in the light / Hold what matters most,” express a strong determination to never let a world that began with an end end again. Even when everything is shrouded in shadow, believe in yourself and stand in the light—that determination resides in the duo’s expansive vocals. Nao’ymt handled the production throughout, with mastering by Dave Kutch (The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, etc.). “Total Eclipse” is a song that combines the joy of “finally” with the weight of “culmination,” powerfully propelling the story of 2025 forward. || Release information
