This is the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Koisuru Keigo 24-ji season 2,” starring Hikaru Iwamoto.
Released digitally in October 2025, it’s a jazz-tinged number.
Also included on the album “Onko Chishin,” the song lavishly croons about two conflicting themes: the duty of a protector and a wavering heart in love.
It’s a mature love story in a single track that resonates with anyone torn between love and work.
dumpling(s)TOMOO
A pre-release track from singer-songwriter TOMOO’s second album, DEAR MYSTERIES, released in October 2025.
It’s a highly metaphorical number that likens the pleats of gyoza to the “wrinkles” caused by strain in human relationships.
The lyrics question the idea that “someone’s happiness is built on someone else’s misfortune,” prompting us to reexamine how society operates.
Its sound features an Asian flair, interweaving instruments like the erhu and a 12-string guitar.
It’s a chill track with an airy, easygoing groove that feels great.
