Included on the 1st album “WORLD RECORD.” The bittersweet lyrics set against intricate beats shape today’s imagery.

It’s a song that leaves a strangely emotional, mysterious impression—the most fitting way to describe it.

In live performances, classical instruments join in, lending it a subtly solemn atmosphere.

The song “ticktack” draws you in with its fluffy lyrics that depict scenes that seem like ordinary everyday life—and yet not quite.

Isn’t it a piece meant to let you enjoy the gentle swaying of the music and the softly wavering atmosphere it creates?

Starting with a brisk rap, this track feels more dynamic and crisp compared to cero’s other, more laid-back songs.

This video is from a collaborative live performance with VIDEOTAPEMUSIC.

The live lighting and staging further bring out the strengths of the song.

cero / Ropeway [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
ropewaycero

A city pop-style track with a soft rock feel.

The drum part is fully programmed, using Roland’s TR-808 favored by hip-hop artists.

It evokes a similar sensibility to Marvin Gaye’s R&B approach, where he incorporated an inorganic machine groove to enhance a mellow sound.

On the Night of the Great Blackoutcero

From the first album released in 2011, “world record,” this is “On the Night of the Great Blackout.” I was captivated by the title and gave it a listen; within its slow ballad are melodies that seem to dissolve and floating phrases that drift about—it’s a track that makes you want to turn off the lights and listen.

A song used in a video collaboration with Kirin’s craft beer, GRAND KIRIN.

The sound evokes a touch of luxury in everyday life and feels so pleasant! The groovy bassline and drum rhythm that carry on from the intro are absolutely fantastic.
