Some questions don’t get easier just because you keep asking them. “Have we still got time?” sits at the centre of Atarayo‘s new song “魚 Fish“, and it never really gets answered, it just gets louder.
“魚 Fish” lives in the space between holding on and letting go, that specific ache of wanting just a little more time with someone or something you already suspect is slipping. Piano lines cut through a full band arrangement, building into a mid-tempo track that carries both the warmth of summer and the restlessness underneath it. It’s emotionally direct without over-explaining itself, melodically sharp enough to catch you on the first listen, and built on exactly the kind of tension that makes you want to hit repeat before it’s even finished.
The song arrives as a preview of Atarayo’s new album “私雨に夏の灯を知る Watakushiameninatsunohiwoshiru
Atarayo is also backing the album with a run of Asia dates: a sold-out show in Malaysia on 24 July and a Bangkok show on 26 July, followed by a Japan leg starting in Osaka on 22 August and continuing through Aichi, Fukuoka and Tokyo, before heading back overseas for three sold-out Hong Kong shows in October and a Taipei date in December.
About Atarayo
“A band that grows by feeding on sadness”. That’s Atarayo.
With a band name that comes from the word 可惜夜 (atarayo), meaning “a night so beautiful it’s a shame for it to end, their first original track “10月無口な君を忘れる” drew attention for its aching, emotional vocals paired with an urban atmosphere and lyrics that struck a relatable, bittersweet chord.
When they began digital releases in March 2021, they shot to the top of the charts on LINE MUSIC, Spotify, TikTok, and AWA almost instantly. Within a year of starting out, they appeared on THE FIRST TAKE. On 4 October 2021 they released their first 7-track EP, “夜明け前”, followed by their debut album “極夜において月は語らず” on 24 March 2022.
Atarayo held their first Asia tour “Atarayo First Asia Tour 2024” in 2024 and sold out across 6 shows including added dates. That same year, they released the album “朝露は木漏れ日に溶けて” .
In 2025, they held their second Asia tour, “あたらよ「夢語り Yume-gatari」TOUR 2025,” spanning 9 overseas cities and 5 cities in Japan, with sold-out shows continuing throughout. On Wednesday, 8 October 2025, they released the album “泡沫の夢は幻に”. Their momentum shows no sign of slowing, both in Japan and overseas.
