NEON JEWELS – “Naki Music”
Project Overview: NEON JEWELS is about to unveil a captivating musical journey steeped in raw emotion and atmospheric soundscapes. The project explores a concept called “Naki music,” a genre inspired by the deep emotional release of tears, sorrow, and beauty. While “Naki” itself might not be a widely recognized Japanese term for music, the essence of the genre lies in its evocative qualities—tear-jerking melodies intertwined with minimalistic piano, low-tempo trip-hop beats, and soothing yet sensual vocals. The emotional depth of the project draws from both Japanese cultural influences and an artistic exploration of emotional expression.
For this release, SAPPHIRE and JADE, the virtual idols of NEON JEWELS, each bring their unique aura to this genre, with performances that blend delicate piano lines, sensual vocals, and introspective themes.
