Japanese musician THE BOY, whose actual name is Akihisa Ota, is making waves with his latest single, "SUPERSUPERNOVA," from his 9th EP called "SUPERNOVA." This song serves as a thrilling love letter to rock music, overflowing with a vibrant energy that feels genuinely invigorating.
The song’s charm lies in its DIY spirit. Featuring strong guitar riffs
and sincere vocals, "SUPERSUPERNOVA" presents a confident statement that
rock music is thriving. It's a rejuvenating departure from the usual
studio-crafted songs. Ota composed and played each note, encapsulating
the spirit of what rock music represents. This lively anthem pays
tribute to Oasis and their followers while also emphasizing that rock
music doesn't need to be flawless or conform to a standard. The chorus
is vibrant and compels you to increase the volume, join in, and recall
why music led by guitars is so unique.
"SUPERSUPERNOVA" unfolds gradually, mixing thrilling indie rock elements with memorable tunes. Ota composed this song at the age of only 18, yet it remained untouched until the return of the renowned band Oasis motivated him to finally record it. He made the song completely by himself in his room, using only a guitar, a bass, a mic, and a computer.
Staying true to his distinctive approach, Ota went beyond the music by also creating the cover art and directing the music video, demonstrating that "SUPERSUPERNOVA" is more than merely a song; it's a genuine artistic pursuit from an enthusiastic creator. Ota expresses that this is meant for all the rock enthusiasts and creators who compose, perform, and play everything on their own, and after hearing this track, one can easily understand his perspective
