The contrast between the quiet, ska-influenced melodic lines and the chorus that feels like an emotional explosion is fascinating.

The vocals, with their powerful shouts, also have great character and feel just right.

NEVER ENDAmuro Namie

The 17th single “NEVER END,” produced as the image song for the 26th G8 Summit, features an arrangement that incorporates melodies from Ryukyuan folk music and lyrics that evoke a prayer for peace continuing into the future—messages that resonated with many listeners around the world.

With a very relaxed melodic flow and a narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
