After a long silence, Japanese-Australian artist Joji has finally resurfaced and the internet can’t stop talking. On October 14, 2025, Joji made waves online following his exit from 88rising, unveiling his new single “PIXELATED KISSES” under his independent label, Palace Creek.

The track signals both a return and a reinvention. While it strays from the hypnotic allure that defined his earlier work, PIXELATED KISSES captures a different shade of emotion—its grinding synths and gritty percussion conjure a raw, aching energy that perfectly mirrors lyrics tinged with the loneliness of long-distance love.

Fans are ecstatic over the release, with many predicting that this new chapter will be steeped in heartbreak and melancholy. Could this be the beginning of another era of Joji’s signature heartache and angst?
