“ASH & YUTA KITAGAWA” released the new music song “Shimmer”
“ASH & YUTA KITAGAWA” just dropped the new and hot song “Shimmer”. It will contain the song 'Shimmer' . Enjoy the Instrumental sound from the far east Asia.
A guitar instrumental where ASH and Yuta Kitagawa (QUORUM) capture the very moment light begins to tremble.
Two guitarists with different roots collide their sense of musical breath and melodic aesthetics,
blending naturally into a single trail of shimmering light.
The clarity of clean tones.
The heat of soaring leads.
Stillness and impulse.
The tension of the city and the gentle sway of the sea breeze.
All of it rises as''Shimmer'' - a sound that flickers and glows with emotion.
Direct, yet delicately lingering.
A collaboration that illuminates the beginning of 2026.
