Let The Light Return / Johatsu is a double A-side single from Manic Street Preachers, showcasing two contrasting yet complementary sides of the band’s sound in 2024. “Let The Light Return” is an anthemic and uplifting track, driven by soaring melodies and a sense of renewal — a sonic call to resilience and hope. In contrast, “Johatsu” explores themes of disappearance and identity, inspired by the phenomenon of people vanishing from their lives in Japan. It's darker and more contemplative, layered with atmospheric textures and introspective lyrics. Together, the songs mark a mature, evocative chapter in the band’s discography.
