At live shows, this song brings the whole venue together with a chorus that the audience and the band can sing along to.

The drums are front and center, making it a track that naturally gets your body moving.

From the whole-note section in the C melody, the grand final chorus is so powerful it’s genuinely moving.

It’s included on the third original album, “and yet, it moves: The Proper Way to Turn the Earth.” The song starts at a relaxed tempo, then gradually builds in layers and momentum toward the chorus, making it a very pleasant listen.

It’s included on the album “Kimi Omou, Yue ni Ware Ari” (“I Think of You, Therefore I Am”).

Reading through the lyrics, you can tell it’s a song themed around an auction.

Amid its bright melody, you can also faintly sense something like underlying worries.

It’s included as the first track on the album “Kimi Omou, Yue ni Ware Ari” (I Think of You, Therefore I Am).

It’s an instrumental piece that feels like a prelude to the album, and also like a prelude to the second track, “Kimi Omou, Yue ni Ware Ari.” When you listen to them back-to-back, it blends so seamlessly into the second track that you can hardly tell where the transition is.

A track from “Until You Button Your Blouse Again.” A gently soothing ballad featuring a beautifully expansive violin tone.

It leans more toward an instrumental than a vocal song, with whispers of vocals that drift in from time to time, wrapping you in a tender feeling.

It’s included on their fourth album, “Until You Button Your Blouse Again,” released in 2012.

With a wistful violin and warm vocals, the piece creates a poetic atmosphere.

Its gentle yet emotionally resonant, dramatic structure is part of its appeal.

It captures brief moments of everyday life, expressing unwavering love for someone dear and a strong, tender sense of watchfulness.

It’s one of their signature songs.

Ant and the GrasshopperBIGMAMA

It’s included on the fourth original album, “Until You Button Your Blouse Again.” As you can tell, the title is inspired by “The Ant and the Grasshopper.” It portrays someone aiming for a middle ground—neither as industrious as the ant in the story nor as lazy as the grasshopper.
