Released in 1999 as the B-side of their 4th single, this beloved ballad is a fan favorite.
Its beautiful lyrics, which overlay the end of a romance with a setting sun, and its deeply emotive melody make it a perfect fit for a sunset sky!

This is a track from the solo debut album “29.” On your days off, do you ever think, “I want to do this and that,” but end up lazing around, only to realize it’s already evening? This song thoroughly shares that sense of guilt in a room lit by the setting sun.
Even though the road home is lit by the madder-red glow…Shiina Ringo

A track from the 1999 debut album “Innocence Moratorium.” It’s a song that shines with the helplessness of dusk and a piercing, vivid sensitivity.
When love isn’t going well or you’re troubled by a rut with your boyfriend, it might be nice to listen to this song on your headphones as the sun sets.

A track from the 2011 album “PEOPLE.” Its lively, warm sound—complete with chorus and handclaps—and lyrics that frankly ask what truly matters to oneself leave a strong impression.
It’s a soothing song I’d recommend for a tired mind in the evening.
Evening PianoShinsei Kamattechan

It was released as a single in 2010, but due to its provocative lyrics it came out on an indie label.
On your way home from something truly frustrating, when you’re overflowing with aimless anger, this song might just scream your feelings out for you.
