Norio Ikeda’s new single “Still Here, Even Apart” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
The title says it all — even when distance separates us, something essential remains. This song captures that quiet, bittersweet feeling we’ve all experienced: thinking of someone far away, yet sensing that the connection never truly breaks. It’s a gentle reminder that presence isn’t always physical.
Written, composed, produced, and programmed entirely by Norio Ikeda himself, this is a fully self-produced work. Fans who have followed his previous releases — including “家族という重さ (The Weight of Family)” and “Nights I Carve Away for Family” — will recognize the same warmth that runs through his music. Yet with this English-language title, the message reaches further, speaking to listeners across borders and beyond language. The choice of an English title feels intentional: this is a song that wants to travel.
Now streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, LINE MUSIC, Amazon Music, TikTok, and many more platforms worldwide.
