curtainNEW!Sugawara Kei
This piece was released as a digital single in September 2022 by Kei Sugawara, whose neutral, sentimental singing voice is so captivating.
It’s a song that delicately portrays the end of a romance and those vague, inexpressible emotions through everyday, unremarkable scenes.
Familiar motifs—like a half-eaten piece of bread—pair beautifully with a laid-back sound reminiscent of alternative R&B.
It’s a comfortably chill number I’d especially recommend to anyone who wants to pause and take a deep breath amid the rhythms of daily life.

Gibbs is Ringo Sheena’s fifth single, released in 2000.

It’s a summer song, so it’s especially moving—enough to make you cry—when you listen to it in the summer.

The song portrays the struggle of being overwhelmed by obligations and losing sight of what you truly wanted to do.
Its smoky vocals and acoustic tones gently wrap around a tired heart.
It’s a number I hope you’ll listen to without holding back your tears.

Although Yui Aragaki is primarily active as an actress, there was a period when she also pursued a singing career.
