Kickstarting the new year, ‘Tell Me How It Goes’ feels like a checkpoint in Kohjiya’s journey rather than just another single. It’s a song that takes stock of his rise and looks back at where he’s from, the weight he carries, and what it means to keep moving forward when expectations rise.

Built on a melodic beat by ZOT on the WAVE and TRILL DYNASTY, the track avoids spectacle and stays grounded. This gives Kohjiya space to speak plainly. His delivery is calm but direct, threading memories of Nagasaki with thoughts about ambition, doubt, and responsibility. There’s no dramatic shift or grand conclusion. Instead, the song is a conversation with himself, asking whether the path he’s chosen is correct.

Kohjiya has often balanced confidence with reflection, but ‘Tell Me How It Goes’ brings those ideas into sharper focus. Coming after the announcement of his two-day solo show at Nippon Budokan, the song reads less as celebration. It reminds listeners that even at career milestones, uncertainty doesn’t disappear.

In the larger scope of Kohjiya’s work, ‘Tell Me How It Goes’ is about staying honest while the stakes continue to rise.
