10-FEET – Blindman (Audio Track)

This is a song by 10-FEET that portrays deep loneliness and inescapable inner conflict, carried by a sense of exhilarating momentum in its sound.

It appears on the album Collins, released in December 2022, and was created as a concept track for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK.

The lyrics, which resonate powerfully with the guilt of a character who has lost his older brother and his hazy, uncertain view of the future, are heart-wrenching.

TAKUMA’s emotional vocals and the band’s sound—melding reggae and punk—feel as if they’re giving voice to the character’s soul.

It’s the kind of song you might want to sit with alone when you’re feeling helplessly down and can’t see the way forward.

10-FEET – Wa (Audio Track)

A song deeply cherished by fans, often described as “like a short film” and “soothing to the soul.” It’s included on 10-FEET’s album Collins, released in December 2022.

Interestingly, after spending about two years working on music related to the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, TAKUMA reportedly created this track while confronting his own inner self.

Its warm melody gently resonates with nostalgic scenes: at a change of seasons, looking back on the past and asking oneself, “Have I changed?” Precisely because there’s no tie-in, the band’s unfiltered feelings come through.

Many listeners might find themselves wanting to play it on a quiet, contemplative night alone, or in the early hours of a spring morning.
