Return to Myself ~No, no, summer.Cyntia

【Cyntia】- Return to myself ~ Shinai, Shinai, Natsu. [Live]
Return to Myself ~No, no, summer.Cyntia

Cyntia’s “Return to Myself ~Shinai, Shinai, Natsu” is a cover of the metal queen Mari Hamada and a top pick for a breezy summer.

While the original has a pop arrangement, this cover transforms it with a solid, hard-rock sound into a powerful rendition only they could deliver! The breakneck heavy metal runs you hear in Cyntia’s signature track “Senkou Strings” are dialed back here, but the band’s rock-solid musicianship—honed through those notoriously difficult fast phrases—subtly shines through in this cover.

That’s the real highlight!

The boyish quality of the vocals fits the lyrics perfectly.

The chorus is very memorable and sticks in your head.

It’s a poppy, catchy song.

You just can’t get enough of those solid, punchy drums, the weighty bassline, and the strummed guitar.

It’s a track by Hump Back, a rock band from Osaka Prefecture, included on their second mini-album “hanamuke,” released in 2017.

The lyrics, themed around the end of summer, mesh perfectly with the alternative vibe, creating a heady sense of intoxication.
