A song that evokes the rich ambience of autumn, woven from a profound worldview and evocative sound.
Released digitally in December 2023 by the band JYOCHO, it also served as the ending theme for the anime “Banished from the Hero’s Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside 2nd.” Marked by delicate yet emotional development, the arrangement is meticulously crafted.
The lyrics convey a state of searching for the meaning of life and a wish for a beautiful future, and together with JYOCHO’s signature gentle, melodious musicality, the track delivers a deep emotional impact.
Perfect for taking a breather amid a busy day.

PROVENIL
As a song that matches the feeling of autumn, I’d like to introduce a work by NiL.
Released in December 2023, this track was chosen as the theme song for the anime “BURN THE WITCH #0.8.” Set to a sentimental melody, it sings about proving one’s existence.
The message that “things go well when the two of us are together” really resonates.
It’s the perfect song for the busy autumn season—when you’re feeling a bit down or want to motivate yourself.
Give it a listen in a spare moment and recharge your energy.
battlecryNujabes feat.Shing02
Doesn’t its chill soundscape and breezy autumn vibe fit perfectly? This track, created by globally acclaimed producer Nujabes and hip-hop MC Shing02, was released in 2004.
It was chosen as the opening theme for director Shinichirō Watanabe’s anime Samurai Champloo.
If you love lo-fi music, this sound will be irresistible.
The comfort of that subtly noisy texture is just unbeatable.
The slightly off-center, behind-the-beat flow is another highlight of this classic.
Embrace of lightRAISE A SUILEN
Embrace of light, which was chosen as the ending theme for the anime Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood, is a song by RAISE A SUILEN, a band born from the next-generation mixed-media girls’ band project BanG Dream!, released in 2021.
No matter what happens, as long as we’re together, we can overcome anything.
The lyrics depict a grand love that vows to always be together, loving and living side by side.
The melody, which further brings out the love expressed in the lyrics, will warm you up as autumn’s chill begins to set in.
kiokuAo
It’s a fragile yet beautiful song that you can’t help but listen to intently.
Sung by the singer ao, this track was selected as the ending theme for the Netflix series Onmyoji and was released digitally in November 2023.
The lyrics, which depict deep feelings for a loved one along with emotional turmoil and inner conflict, are striking.
You’ll be drawn into a world that contemplates dialogue with the past and the transience of our existence.
Highly recommended for those who seek a lingering resonance that stays with the heart.
Reflectiaeufonius
This is the opening theme of True Tears, an anime well-known for evoking the feeling of autumn.
It’s a song by the music unit eufonius, released as a single in 2008.
Even the blend of coolness and beauty in its sound conjures up an image of a crisp, breezy autumn day.
The lyrics, which convey a sense of hope for the future, are also wonderful.
I recommend taking a walk on a nice day while listening to this track—you’re sure to have a very pleasant time.
