Nami Sora
night drives & city lights
introduction
Nami Sora sits at the intersection of movement and stillness — the city seen from a rain-slicked highway at night, lights smearing across the windshield, the skyline dissolving into low cloud. The name fuses the Japanese "nami" (波, wave) and "sora" (空, sky). Music for longing, quiet elation, and the specific melancholy of arriving somewhere you no longer recognize.

background
Born in Yokohama, formed in the indeterminate zone between Shinjuku and the commuter belt. The music grew out of a specific transit experience: the view of Tokyo from a late-night elevated express, a city that has stopped pretending it is still busy. Foundational listening: Mariya Takeuchi's Variety, discovered on a late-night drive with an older sibling who kept cassette tapes in a dashboard case.
