Songs I'd like to listen to while camping: Jazzy BGM (11–20)
comrade feat. Daichi MiuraSOIL&”PIMP”SESSIONS
The song I’d like you to listen to for a slow, relaxing night at camp is “comrade feat.
Daichi Miura.” It’s included on DAPPER, the album released in 2018 by SOIL&”PIMP”SESSIONS, an instrumental jazz band expanding their reach overseas.
The softly jazzy synth tones will bring you peace.
It’s a deep track that lets you savor Daichi Miura’s emotional vocals.
Why not give it a listen while lighting a small flame in your lantern?
Coloration BluesEGO-WRAPPIN’
Despite belonging to a niche genre, the unit EGO-WRAPPIN’ has garnered strong support from many listeners.
Their music is rooted in cabaret sounds that evolved from prewar jazz and in Showa-era pop, and their distinctive style has produced numerous hit songs.
Among them, one of the most famous works is “Shikisai no Blues” (“Blues of Colors”).
It’s a classic with a lush melody perfectly suited to the nighttime mood.
At a campsite, it might be nice to play it as background music before going to sleep.
Take On MeJiLL-Decoy association
Jill-Deco Association, a three-piece band affectionately known as Jill Deco.
While they center their sound on crossover, the track I especially recommend is their “Take On Me.” As a three-piece, the arrangement is kept relatively simple overall, but since the genre falls under swing jazz, it still exudes a bright, festive vibe.
It’s an upbeat song that fits any camping scene, so be sure to check it out.
All of MeTammy Renee’
When it comes to the most satisfying moment in camping, isn’t it when you’ve just finished setting up your base? The more serious the base, the greater the sense of accomplishment when it’s done.
I imagine many people want to admire the base they’ve built while listening to some lively music at that moment.
For those people, I recommend the song “All of Me.” It’s a standard jazz piece, much like popular music, with an overall bright and festive melody.
Newborn Melody feat. birdHirado Yusuke
The song I’d love you to listen to while you unwind at camp after leisure activities or a meal is “Umaretate no Melody feat.
bird.” It’s included on Speak Own Words, released in 2012 by jazz pianist Yusuke Hirado, leader of the jazz quartet quasimode.
Alongside supple piano tones, bird’s beautiful vocals shine.
With its melodic sound, it’s a great recommendation even for newcomers to jazz.
Try playing it during the quiet hours from evening into night.
Blues of DeceptionHamada Maron
Vocalist Maron Hamada, originally from Osaka Prefecture, is known for her distinctive style that blends Showa-era kayōkyoku with jazz, and she has a strong cult following.
Among her works, the song that’s especially perfect for camping is Mayakashi no Blues.
It beautifully marries the essence of Showa pop, one of her trademarks, with the vibrant flair of swing jazz.
It’s an energetic track—why not give it a listen while you’re setting up your base camp?
Songs I want to listen to while camping: Jazzy BGM (21–30)
November TwilightJulie London
Julie London, whose richly expressive voice has been described as “smoky,” captivated many jazz aficionados.
She also enjoyed success as an actress, but her sensual vocals feel especially at home on long autumn nights.
Her classic 1956 release Calendar Girl is a beloved concept album structured around monthly themes.
Among its tracks is a jazz ballad that evokes the melancholy of a November twilight.
In it, the protagonist quietly reflects on a love that has passed, and you can almost see the cold autumn wind and fallen leaves unfolding around her.
London’s whisper-soft delivery carries an intimate quality, as if a secret story were being confided right at your ear.
It’s a perfect gem for solitary autumn evenings when you want to immerse yourself deeply in the world of music.
