alivethe peggies
A soul-stirring ballad by the peggies that questions the meaning of living while holding two opposing feelings—loving yourself yet hating yourself.
Written by vocalist Yuho Kitazawa at age 19 as if passing a baton to her wavering, nearly confidence-losing self, the painfully honest lyrics pierce the heart.
The song was included on NEW KINGDOM, a masterpiece from their indie era released in November 2015, and was re-recorded in 2020 as an acoustic version on the Anemone EP.
When you’re lost in life or can’t believe in yourself, the gentle guitar tones and warm vocals will seep into your heart like encouragement from a close friend.
It’s the perfect track for a night when you want to spend time quietly facing yourself.
About Fuwarinekoto
A signature ballad by Negoto, where gentle piano tones softly envelop the heart.
Woven by Sachiko Aoyama’s crystal-clear vocals is a delicate, somewhat fleeting tale between “me” and “you.” The nearly six-minute, dreamlike soundscape gently leads listeners into a world of dreams, evoking both poignancy and warmth at the same time.
Included on the early masterpiece-filled 2011 album “ex Negoto,” this track even topped a fan poll.
It was also chosen for the image album of the film “Blue Spring Ride,” enriching the work’s atmosphere.
On a night when you want to be alone with your thoughts, thinking of someone dear, listening to this song may remind you of the warmth you’d almost forgotten.
Shige-chanSabasusutā
This is a gem of a ballad by Sabasister, whose quietly plucked guitar tones and wistful melody strike straight to the heart.
The song is a very personal and warm piece, born from drummer Gouke’s love for the one and only stuffed animal she has kept by her side for over 20 years.
Natchi’s emotionally rich vocals convey heartfelt gratitude to a presence that knows everything—our painful nights and our helpless moments alike.
Featured on the acclaimed March 2024 release “Kakugo wo Kimero!” (“Make Up Your Mind!”), this track reveals a new side of the band.
It gently teaches us the preciousness of being someone’s “special.” Why not listen closely when you want to calm your mind alone, or on a night when you’re thinking about your own treasured keepsakes?

A morning waking up with bedhead begins to shine like a scene from a fairy tale.
This captivating work captures such special moments in everyday life.
Released in September 2006 as the major-label debut of The☆Bon, a girls’ band from Osaka.
Chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s “Geki Amai.” Its bouncy piano and light, brisk rhythm feel delightful, stirring a sweet-and-sour mood.
Carrying hopes for the future and dashing forward, this piece is perfect for the start of a new chapter in life or a weekend drive.
emotional girlHysteric Lolita
