XaaXaa’s mysterious single “Kasa ga nai” coming this October

XaaXaa releases their latest single, Kasa ga nai (傘がない), on October 9. The title, which means “I don’t have an umbrella”, evokes a jarring contrast between anxiety and romanticism. In Japanese culture, the image of sharing an umbrella often carries a romantic connotation. In contrast, the lack of one might symbolize vulnerability and uncertainty, like the fear of being caught in the rain. Which shall it be?

The band’s new promotional image deepens this narrative. The latest artwork shows vocalist Kazuki holding an umbrella under a sky shifting from stormy to serene, with clouds parting against a deep red backdrop. This imagery suggests a transition from turmoil to calm, hinting at a message of hope and resilience—hallmarks of XaaXaa’s emotionally charged style. With so much to ponder and so little revealed, the anticipation builds.

In addition to the new single, fans can look forward to a fresh wave of stage costumes. XaaXaa’s latest look seems to echo an ’80s New Wave aesthetic, promising a visually striking complement to their musical release.

While we patiently await the upcoming Kasa ga nai, let’s keep the momentum going with XaaXaa’s latest mind-bending single and music video, Nozokitai. Dive into the music video below.
