Timeabout

Timeabout (stylized as Timeabout,) is the first extended play by Japanese musician Yukika Teramoto, released on April 7, 2021, by Ubuntu Entertainment and distributed by YG Plus. It is her first release under Ubuntu following her departure from Estimate Entertainment in November 2020. Released eight months after her debut album Soul Lady, the EP is also influenced by Japanese city pop and is characterized by its heavy use of retro synthesizers, bass guitar and disco-inspired percussion. It is intended to be the first entry of a "Time" trilogy.
