Indonesia's Arash Buana joins Centimillimental on dreamy collab
Japanese artist Centimillimental and Indonesian singer Arash Buana have released a collaborative ballad titled 'madoromi'. The song was created during a spontaneous studio session following their meeting during a 2025 tour.
Why it matters
The collaboration highlights the growing trend of cross-cultural musical partnerships in the Asian music industry, facilitated by digital connectivity and touring.
Japanese singer-songwriter Centimillimental has joined forces with Indonesian singer-songwriter Arash Buana for 'madoromi' , an intimate ballad born from a chance studio session.
Released on 19 August , the track marks Centimillimental's first-ever collaboration release and arrives alongside a music video filmed during the pair's recording sessions in Indonesia.
Written and composed by both artists, 'madoromi' captures the hazy space between sleep and wakefulness, tracing feelings that surface in the quiet of the night. Their voices meet over a dreamy soundscape, reflecting the natural chemistry that first brought the song together.
The collaboration began after Centimillimental met Buana during his Asia tour in 2025. What started without plans to make or release a song quickly developed into 'madoromi.'
"When we met, talked about various things, and I listened to some of his songs, I felt that we shared similar ideas and certain commonalities in our musical sensibilities," Centimillimental shared.
