Warm BGM I'd like to listen to while camping (11–20)
TraumereiYU-KI
The single “Traumerei,” released in 2018, is a song by YUKI, former vocalist of JUDY AND MARY, and was used as the theme song for the film “Cafe Funiculi Funicula” (Literally: “Before the Coffee Gets Cold”).
The title means “reverie,” and the song is striking for its grand scale and gentle sound.
In the music video—cheerful and innocent throughout—there’s a brief nighttime camping scene toward the end.
This song, which gently accompanies those moments when you want to calm your heart, might offer hints for being yourself as you take a breather while camping.
The Beginning SongFujifaburikku
This song is packed with the pop and rock ’n’ roll charm of Fujifabric, and the intro that kicks off with a mischievous-sounding guitar riff is so much fun! It’s included on FAB LIST2, one of their best-of albums compiled by fan voting.
It’s a love song, and amid its brightness, the message brims with various feelings—perfect for heightening that fluttery excitement on the way to a camping trip.
Above all, just play “Hajimari no Uta” and the whole place instantly fills with a vibrant, festive atmosphere, so it’ll definitely set the scene when everyone’s having fun together, like at a barbecue!
Clouds and GhostsYorushika
A perfect song for summer camping: “Clouds and Ghosts.” It’s included on Yorushika’s first mini-album, “The Night Is Short, Walk on the Grass” (Natsukusa ga Jama wo Suru), released in 2017 by the duo of composer n-buna and vocalist suis.
The song even contains the lyric that inspired the band’s name.
It’s an important track for Yorushika, and both its lines and overall feel convey a sense of liberation and comfort that lets you return to your true self while camping.
It’s fleeting yet bright—an intriguing mood that seems to fit many situations.
With a beautifully resonant melody and sounds that evoke the surface of water, it’s also a joy to listen to by the water in the summer.
TimingŌhashi Torio
This song is by the versatile musician Ohashi Trio and is included on his 2018 album “STEREO.” With its cute, pop vibe that sings about love where “timing” is key, it’s perfect for inviting someone you like or for a couple’s camping trip.
The sound makes you want to get moving—the upbeat tempo that makes you feel like lifting your knees high as you walk and the light, lively guitar both lift your spirits.
It wraps you in an image of flowers blooming from winter into spring and sets a warm, easygoing mood for your camp.
Tomorrow’s windYamazaki Masayoshi
Wrapped in a gentle, refreshing breeze, “Ashita no Kaze” is perfect for moments like chatting with friends at a campsite or spending a quiet time alone.
It’s a single released in 2000 by singer-songwriter Masayoshi Yamazaki, best known for “One more time, One more chance.” The song begins with the calm resonance of an acoustic guitar and Yamazaki’s humming, and it’s sure to give you a pleasant feeling as if you’re sensing a natural breeze.
With lyrics that encourage a fresh start, it’s also recommended before bedtime.
AhMoriyama Naotaro
Naotaro Moriyama is a one-of-a-kind performer who makes us feel many kinds of preciousness.
“Aa” is the title track of the album of the same name released in 2016.
This song, which sings of the changing seasons and the wonders of nature, delivers a silent, overflowing joy that strikes deeply at the heart.
It also marked his return after a six-month hiatus, and Moriyama’s beautiful expression—reflecting his personal craze for “day-trip camping” and the boyish spirit he nurtured while spending time at a mountain hut he purchased—is wonderful.
It aligns perfectly with the true appeal of camping, which lies in trial and error and enjoyment, and it makes us keenly aware that even time spent resting is also part of truly “being alive.”
Warm BGM for camping (21–30)
