Since her first release in 2009, Australian born Maaike Lebbing has gone from strength to strength. Having gained a lot of support and attention for her 12" and 4 track self-titled EP on Disfigured Dubz; Kito teamed up with vocalist and long term friend, Reija Lee and released a 4 track EP, 'Sweet Talk' on Diplo's hugely influential label, Mad Decent. Sweet Talk went on to gain a lot of support on UK's BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra along with Australia's national station, Triple J. The title track also sat comfortably at second place for a number of weeks in the Dubstep Beatport Chart.
Following on from Sweet Talk, 2011 has seen Kito further develop her partnership with Reija Lee. The duo remixed Spor's track Pacifica which was released on his imprint Lifted earlier this year. The Pacifica EP jumped straight to number 7 on the iTunes Electronic Dance Chart.
Kito's ethos is quality - not quality and her back catalogue reflects this worth ethic. With an already large and ever-growing fan base and encouraging articles and reviews from publications such as The Guardian, NME, Knowledge and In The Mix plus guest mixes on Radio 1, Triple J, Rinse FM amongst others - it is clear big things are in store for this young artist.
2) Kito is a recording name for Kjell Tore Sandersen, a musician from Porsgrunn, Norway. Kito has one track on the compilation "maskindans - Norsk synth 1980-1988", released in 2009 by Hommage Records.

Kito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
真夜中 連れ出して follow me! (follow me!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
君に会いに行こう
一人のワンルーム
ディスプレイをスクロール
退屈な夜 (so mundane, so mundane)
モヤモヤしたって
ドキドキしたって
感情は全部そう (嘘じゃない)
隠せない 葛藤 loop
確かめたい気持ち
心のキー 鍵かけないように
待てないよ もう どんな世界があるの?
今すぐ wake up 目覚めた
君をまた 連れ出して follow me! (follow me!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
迎えに行くから
だから far away 届けたい
思いを 仕舞わずに take a chance! (take a chance!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
迎えに行くから
また君に会うために
気づけばサンデーモーニング
わちゃわちゃファッションチェック
行動しなくちゃね (意味がない!)
バレないように ハートに zip
抱え込んだ思い
アンニュイなライフ 鍵かけないでいて
ここからは 君と作りたいから
今すぐ wake up 目覚めた
君と今 走り出し follow me! (follow me!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
迎えに行くから
だから far away 届かない
言葉を もう一歩 take a chance! (take a chance!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
迎えに行くから
今君に伝えたい!
(Please!) 髪型気づいてるかな?
(Please!) フリルはちょっと攻め過ぎ?
乙女心は難しいって年頃
(Please!) ぎこちない手の触れ方も

ありふれた願いを叶えてみたい
今すぐ wake up 目覚めた
君をまた 連れ出して follow me! (follow me!)

だから far away 届けたい
思いを 仕舞わずに take a chance! (take a chance!)
Through, through リアルを飛び越え
迎えに行くから
次君に会うときは (ずっと)
君のとなりで居たい
The lyrics of "Follow" by Kito is about the intense emotions of a person who wakes up in the middle of the night and feels like they have to see someone immediately. The person is willing to fly over the real world to be with the other person, and their pent-up emotions come out as they feel like they can no longer lock the emotions in their heart. The singer describes a mundane and boring life where scrolling through the display of their one-room apartment is the only entertainment they have. They yearn for something more exciting and real.
The lyrics emphasize the rawness of human emotions: how they cannot be hidden or controlled sometimes. The singer wants to be with the person they are longing for and is willing to abandon all his/her monotonous routines to find that person. The song suggests people should take their chances and follow their feelings to create their stories, which are rich with experiences.
In summary, the song suggests to the listener to stop being stuck in their mundane routines and follow the strong emotions they have for someone, which will help create a meaningful story for their lives, full of real-life experiences.

High in the sky and I feel like I got wings again
Down with the vibes and you know I got you
Alone for the ride and I'm bumpin' with the beat, yeah
Down with the vibes and you know I got you
Let's turn the lights down, oh-oh
Way down, way down
Can't keep my eyes off you
Stay around, stay around
If you lead, I'ma follow
Follow you, follow you, follow you (Oh, tell)
Stay with me 'til tomorrow
I follow you, follow you, follow you
Do what I want with ones who I want
If you lead, I'ma follow (I'ma follow)
Follow you, follow you, follow you
Follow you, follow you, follow you
Follow you, follow you, follow you
If you lead, I'ma follow (I'ma follow)
Follow you, follow you, follow you
If the money get low, low, low
You want anything close, close, close
Yeah, there's just one thing I need the most
Give me all that body, I need you close, close
Let's turn the lights down, oh-oh
Way down, way down

This song really grew on me as of late. Has a lot of good vibes. Not sure where Zhu fits in with this song but we can just add it to another banger he has with his name on it!
