Twilight SurroundRIP SLYME

A laid-back, mid-tempo tune released by RIP SLYME in 2004.

I especially long for it when autumn comes—the mellow vibe matches dusk so perfectly, it’s just the best.

Isn’t it amazing how pleasing the words sound? What we’d now call a chill sound might have been rare back then, too.

The faint sense of wistfulness and the enveloping sound design are cool.

Listening to this while watching a beautiful sunset makes you feel like you’re melting, body and soul.

It’s a truly lovely song for a relaxing evening.

This work by SG has gained support as an encouraging song that resonates deeply during graduations and farewells.

Its gentle melody, which accompanies young people as they overcome partings and take new steps forward, and its lyrics filled with hope for reunion are especially appealing.

To tell the truth,SHISHAMO

“SHISHAMO” is a girls’ band, but these two songs told from a boy’s perspective are highly recommended, so I’d love for everyone to give them a listen.

“I Got a Girlfriend” is said to be followed by “Actually, I…,” so try listening in that order.

It’s a love story that looks pure but isn’t pure at all.
