Regarding the difference between the music on this project with Anomalyst, Ario has noted that the songs he writes for Anomalyst sound like Kurosuke before the other members of the band get involved. Ario also deliberately scaled back the guitars and emphasized the 80's pop influence on this project.

The project and album remained nameless until the night before it was uploaded to digital platforms; the name Kurosuke was suggested by Ario's friend and album collaborator, Indisya Zealaikha, who took it from fictional sprite creatures Makkuro Kurosuke seen in several Studio Ghibli animated films. Kurosuke is also an Indonesian abbreviation for "kukus roti, susu, keju" (steamed bread, milk, cheese), which is one of Ario's favorite snacks and that he feels perfectly embodies the music of this project: sweet, delicious and tender

While the album was recorded and released purely for fun with no plan to perform the songs live, it soon proved popular enough to attract gig offers, which led to Ario performing as Kurosuke with the members of Anomalyst and other friends as his backing band.

Roses
Kurosuke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life leads me to you
In time when I was lost
And close my eyes
Now i know
That life is such a funny place
For us to live

Every time I see your eyes

I know roses fill your eyes
The skies are clear
The sun is here
I see roses in your eyes

Wondering what will be
If i could spend my life
With you around
Hold me tight
And please don't ever leave my arm
Until its time

Every time I see your eyes
I know roses fill your eyes
The skies are clear

The sun is here
I see roses in your eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kurosuke's song Roses depict a love story of a person who was lost but found their way to their lover's arms. At first, the person was wandering in life without any sense of direction until they found their significant other. The singer acknowledges that life is a funny place to live in but having this person in their life made it all the more worthwhile. The second stanza of the song is about wondering what the future would hold if they could spend their life with their lover, and they plead with them to never leave their arms until it's time. The chorus repeats the imagery of seeing roses in their lover's eyes, which is a metaphor that signifies the beauty and love they see in their partner's eyes.

The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in various ways. The metaphors and imagery in the song suggest that the singer is in a state of bliss and love, and there is no place they would rather be than in the arms of their lover. The song also gives meaning to life and the joy that love brings into it.

"Life is full of surprises. So many unpredictable meetings, places, and moments. It took me a while to be grateful for whatever happens in our life at this moment. This idea sees through the eyes of a roses, which I believe it is one of the best representation of love. To where life may leads, I'm sure there will be filled with roses. This is for each one of you I've encountered along the way. Some are leaving, some are staying, but each one of you are painted in my life." - Kurosuke.
