KARAS

solm / Scott Murphy,[Alexandros]

[V3 Neo Antique Series]

I think the first thing that catches the eye is its pop and catchy appearance. It’s cute. And even though the shape is different, you can tell at a glance that it’s a CKG guitar, which I think is a wonderful characteristic.
When I played it, I thought the sound came up quickly and had more sustain than I expected. You can express yourself in a variety of ways even with just the direct sound, and the effects also sounded good.
I think this is a very user-friendly guitar that will demonstrate a wide range of appeal depending on the player, no matter what genre they play.

Japanese guitarist. He began his musical activities under the name “KARAS” in May 2023. In the same year, he formed the completely improvised session band “solm” with Masaki Shirai ([Alexandros]) and YUNA (ex-CHAI). In March 2024, solm supported the Japanese tour of the Australian band “PARCELS”, who made a sensational world debut produced by Daft Punk and were the talk of the town.
He is also a member of the ambient music project “Silent Friendship” with Louie Swain of Parcels and German-based music producer Liam Mockridge, and released the album “garden, snow”, which was recorded in Kyoto in January 2024. He has also worked as a support guitarist for Scott Murphy’s band [Alexandros] and other artists. His playing, which makes full use of various effects and can be both freaky and emotional, has a charm that transcends genres.
