ARKTA Announce 2nd EP
"As Oneself" Out September 17,
And Japan Tour 2025 Including Stops At Major Circuit Festivals
PRE-SAVE HERE
September 10, 2025, LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles/Tokyo Rising Japanese rock band ARKTA will release their highly anticipated second EP As Oneself on September 17, 2025, available worldwide across all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Pre-save. Alongside the release, the band has unveiled their new headshot and confirmed an extensive Japan Tour 2025 this fall.
As Oneself confronts the raw struggles of adversity, loss, and inner conflict, transforming vulnerability into strength. Across five tracks, ARKTA carve out a story of defiance, catharsis, and rebirth, moving from visceral rebellion to hard-won self-affirmation. Each track builds toward the EP's central message: “to live as oneself.”
“This is ARKTA's new story. Etched with the spirit of facing adversity and staying true to oneself,” say members Tak and kenken.
ARKTA is a rock band formed by Tak, who is also known for his role as a ring announcer for NJPW STRONG (New Japan Pro Wrestling's U.S. Competition), and kenken, former member of DELHEZI and former support guitarist for Japanese nu-metal band Another Story. Their 2024 tours across Japan, including a landmark Shibuya live house debut, cemented their reputation as a live act defined by connection and energy.
This September, ARKTA return to Japan for JAPAN TOUR 2025, performing at major festivals including Tokyo Calling 2025, In The Family Fest, and Super Rock City Hiroshima DX, while sharing stages in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka with a host of bands including Ice Cream Never Ground.
