Japanese punk rock trio Akabane Vulgars On Strong Bypass share the second single and title track of their upcoming new EP Future Babies.

‘Future Babies’ is a song shaped by the moments when life cracks open—those sharp collisions with the unknown that leave us wounded yet quietly transformed. Framed by the imagery of a blazing blue sky, dreamlike memories, and a surreal floating bathtub, the track lingers in the space between who we were and who we’re becoming. Its refrains of being “new and wounded” capture the truth that every rebirth carries its scars, and that these marks are not signs of breaking, but of becoming.

In its plea like “Wish me a happy birthday” – the song hints at the fragile celebrations within each small awakening, even when they arrive through pain. By the closing lines, the repeated “Now I understand something” feels like a soft revelation rising from the debris of change. ‘Future Babies’ ultimately stands as a testament to moving forward with an open heart: embracing the ache of transformation, honoring the beauty in our wounds, and stepping into the next version of ourselves, fragile and luminous all at once.
