LIFETENDRE

TENDRE – LIFE（Official Music Video）

This is the solo project of Taro Kawahara, a multi-instrumentalist who also plays in ampel, a three-piece band that evokes the urban night—impersonal yet somehow warm.

It’s a mellow, gentle track with a subtly retro mood.

Because the lyrics are in Japanese, listening at a loud volume might draw your attention to the words.

Try enjoying it at a moderate volume; it may be better suited to times when you can relax—like while cooking or taking a bath—rather than moments that require focus, such as during work.
