Serita releases EP Kitsune No Koe – The Voice of the Fox

Finnish-Japanese singer-songwriter Serita will release her EP Kitsune No Koe (The Voice of the Fox) on October 10, which also includes her new release Erase Me (composed, lyrics by Anna Serita, produced & arranged by Lauri Hämäläinen). The song deals with how the external world can provide material like security, a house, a body to add external value, but they never fulfill the real need for belonging, acceptance, and love.


The title of the EP Kitsune No Koe refers to Japanese mythology, where the kitsune, or fox, represents intelligence, magic, transformation and change. The fox walks the border between two worlds, humans and spirits, and is full of enigmatic power. The fox's voice takes the listener deep into a spiritual and emotional dimension, where life and struggles may remain hidden, but their voice is still always present.


The songs on the EP deal with transition, finding love, inner struggle and finding one's own strength. Kitsune No Koe is for those who have never fully heard themselves, but who know that their voice is always there.

Born at the intersection of two cultures, Finnish-Japanese singer-songwriter Serita released her debut EP Kitsune No Koe on October 24, 2025. The EP explores themes of change and the longing for love, weaving through moments of hope and inner struggle, emotions that are often left unspoken. Alongside her original tracks, the EP features a previously unreleased song, "Erase Me," written and composed by Anna Serita, and produced and arranged by Lauri Hämäläinen.

"Erase Me" delves into the contrast between external comforts such as a house, a body, or even wealth and the deeper, often unmet needs for belonging, acceptance, and love. The title Kitsune No Koe (The Voice of the Fox) draws on Japanese mythology and the mystique of nature. In these stories, the kitsune, or fox, is both a symbol of intelligence and magic, and of transformation. The fox exists between two worlds: the human and the spiritual. It is cunning, enigmatic, and its voice represents something often hidden - be it pain, hope, or that quiet yet persistent feeling that may not always be heard, but is undeniably present.

About

SERITA on suomalais-japanilainen jrock & alt rock -artisti, jonka musiikki ammentaa voimakkaasti jrockin ja kawaii metallin maailmasta, mutta tuo samalla esiin omaleimaisen ja modernin yhdistelmän tunteen ja rohkeuden. Hänen kappaleensa sukeltavat syvälle elämän suurimpiin ristipaineisiin – rakkauden haavoittavuudesta itsensä löytämisen kamppailuihin, joissa soi yhtä aikaa sekä hauraus että voima. SERITA:n musiikki on sekä henkilökohtaista että universaalia, käsitellen elämän ja identiteetin monivivahteisuutta lauluntekemisen voimalla. SERITA:n tuleva EP julkaistaan syksyllä 2025. Seritan tuottajia ovat olleet mm. Cecil Opia sekä Lauri Hämäläinen.

SERITA's lyrics draw inspiration from her personal life, where the artist's goal in her music is to bring out the nuances of life and identity through the power of songwriting, which transports and supports her listeners in Finnish, English and Japanese. Serita has released four singles, which will form an EP to be released in autumn 2025. Serita's producers include Cecil Opia and Lauri Hämäläinen.
