Personally, I like the sound of the guitars in this band very much.

I guess I like the kind of melancholy feeling it gives.

I love it because it shows the delicacy of Japanese music very well.

Here’s a playlist that gives you some sense of the mood ↓

I’ll post the videos and lyrics of some of my favorite songs.

COSMOS(English translation of lyrics)

When it rains hard, I think of you

When the rain stops, I run out of the room

The smell of the wind and the whisper of a dream

I’m still the same, our sky

Fluttering, fluttering, floating, that girl

She’s fallen into my memory

That girl who sings with deep sadness

She noticed the afternoon light when she reached out her hands

The dazzling fire of love, burning you

She reminds me of the setting sun of love, still calling to me as always

The pain that lingers in the back of my mind

The future still has a cold

I was frightened of a future without a name

On the other side of this sky, let the fanfare ring out

My Little Love Song For You

I’m thinking of you on a day when it’s raining hard

I’ll run out of my room when the rain stops

The smell of the wind and the whisper of a dream

I’m still the same, our sky

Fluttering, fluttering, floating, that girl

She dropped my paint into the sky

I’ll write you a letter, don’t forget

The heart that floated on the light blue canvas lit up the world in your color

JEALOUS LOVE (English translation of lyrics)

I just want to hold you.

I just want to be remembered

I just don’t want to forget

I just don’t want to end with words

I don’t want to end with words

I want to make love without pretense

I wish I could meet you in the city

But I’m worried if I can breathe

In a relationship of trust born of giving up

I just want to hug you

It’s the sadness that gave me the light on the weekend

Don’t go away yet

I’m waving my hand and the light goes out, but even tears won’t spill

I want to say goodbye to a world where no one exists

I just want you to touch my heart more

I just want to hug you

I just want to be remembered

I don’t want to be forgotten

I just don’t want to end with words

I don’t want to end with words, I just want to be loved, I want to be broken, I want to be worthy, I want to love without pretense

I want to call you, but I can’t.

In our 2000s

If you can’t even stop

I just want to hug you

I want to hug you

I just want to be remembered

I just don’t want to forget

I just don’t want to end with words

I want to make love without pretense in the midst of the broken existence value of being loved

The sadness that gave me light on the weekend

Don’t disappear yet

Even if I wave my hand and the light goes out, even tears won’t spill

I just want to laugh more freely

Open the door to the world without a shape

The sadness that gave me light on the weekend, don’t disappear yet

Even if I wave my hand and the light goes out, even tears won’t spill

I just want you to touch my heart more

I’m saying goodbye to a world where no one exists
