TETORA - Cunning Person (Official Music Video)

This is a song by TETORA that vividly portrays the emptiness of being suddenly dumped by someone you loved—a deeply unfair situation.

In just about two minutes, the very moment a romance ends is condensed.

The track was included on the single “East Hills,” released in April 2019, and later featured on the acclaimed album “From a Corner of the Classroom,” which won the Tower Records Recommen Award 2019.

If you’re carrying the pain of an unforgettable love, this song will speak for your feelings.

On a quiet night when you want to linger in your own melancholy, why not give it a listen?

My letterZONE

ZONE – My Letter (MV)

A classic by the girls’ band ZONE that captures the frustrating feeling of a crush when you just can’t say “I like you” out loud.

The gentle tone of the acoustic guitar layered with shimmering strings creates a bittersweet yet beautiful sound.

The highlights are the vocal relay that showcases each member’s individuality and their interweaving harmonies.

The pure emotions, expressed in down-to-earth words, sink quietly into the listener’s heart.

Released in October 2003 and included on the album “N,” this song also became familiar as the ending theme of the popular music program “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP.” If you’re struggling to convey your feelings to someone important, its delicate melody will tenderly stay by your side—and it just might give you a gentle push forward.
