“Minori Nakano” released the new music song “28 Cycle”
“Minori Nakano” just dropped the new and hot song “28 Cycle”. It will contain the song '28 Cycle' . Enjoy the J-Pop sound from the far east Asia.
On February 4, 2026, singer-songwriter Minori Nakano will release her new digital single, "28 Cycle."
This work is a fully self-produced piece, with Nakano herself handling every step of the process-from songwriting and composition to arrangement, mixing, and mastering.
The title "28" symbolizes cycles: the phases of the moon, the rhythms of the female body, and the fact that even human skin renews itself approximately every 28 days.
Although we may feel as if we are living on an extension of our past selves, we are never quite the same as we were yesterday, a month ago, or a year ago.
"Being born, ending, and being born again"-this song gently captures that quiet process of transformation.
Musically, the track draws inspiration from Nakano's deep love for the jazz standard "Autumn Leaves," incorporating a subtle jazz-infused atmosphere into its arrangement.
Rather than portraying "death" or "ending" as something negative, the song embraces them as essential passages toward becoming someone new.
Nakano's warm, enveloping vocals guide the listener through this idea with tenderness and calm.
On the day of release, February 4 at 5:00 PM (JST), the official Music Video will premiere on Minori Nakano's official YouTube channel.
The MV was filmed by Minori Nakano and Yuichiro Nakano, with editing handled by Minori Nakano herself.
Created while exploring the expressive possibilities of visual storytelling, the video brings the song's world vividly to life.
Every ending is quietly connected to a new beginning.
"28 Cycle" is a song that softly reminds us of this truth.
Born in 2000 in Aomori City, Japan, Minori Nakano began writing songs at the age of 14 after picking up an acoustic guitar.
She officially launched her career as an artist in 2026.
Known for her clear, transparent voice and natural, unadorned presence, Nakano creates music that transcends genre boundaries.
Through words and melody, she carefully depicts emotions, the passage of time, and subtle inner transformations.
She has performed as an opening act for artists in her hometown of Aomori and has appeared on solo stages at outdoor live events.
Rooted in a deep appreciation for place, atmosphere, and human connection, Minori Nakano continues to explore and expand the possibilities of her music.
