Returning to Hello GoodBye we have O-ARC.

O-ARC is a creative collaboration between Masa Iida, singer-songwriter from Yokohama, Japan, and Neil Mason, a London-born guitarist. It could be said Neil’s guitar playing, at once tranquil and explosive, is the perimeter line that appears to enclose Masa’s poetry—words, rhythm and melody impossible to contain. Masa and Neil literally come from worlds apart but they approach music with a singular heart. Their Japanese and English sensitivities compliment each other. Poetic, atmospheric and meditative, the O-Arc blend is, in a way, even therapeutic:healing. Masa’s lyrics are greatly influenced by Haiku poetry. He prefers few words to express feelings and thoughts.
