Ikimono-gakari “Nostalgia” Music Video

This is a single by Ikimonogakari released in 2010.

It was a song from their indie days, and although it was re-recorded, some parts like the lyrics have been slightly changed.

I heard Yoshioka said she didn’t want to sing it because she disliked the female protagonist, who’s so wishy-washy and hung up on her ex (lol).

Ikimonogakari Season

This is a song included on Ikimono-gakari’s album WE DO, released when they resumed activities after their “gathering” period.

Even among Ikimono-gakari’s many classic songs that depict the seasons, this one feels especially fleeting and beautiful.

As we grow up, we often lose our way, don’t we? This gentle song softly gives a nudge to those bewildered hearts.

Released in 2009 as the 13th single, “Futari” was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Boku no Imouto,” starring Joe Odagiri and Masami Nagasawa.

The lyrics, which depict human connections, are both moving and eye-opening.

You can’t help but listen to it while relating it to yourself.

Since the highest notes are relatively low, it’s on the easier side for women to sing.

As it’s a ballad, it might be best to focus on expressing emotion.

Traces of Loveikimonogakari

Ikimono Gakari – Koi Ato [Lyric Video Romaji]

As you can tell from the lyric “I could never come to hate you,” it’s a heartrending ballad.

It candidly portrays the feeling, “I’ve tried a few romances, but you’re still here in my heart.” The wistful melody, which also carries a faint 80s vibe, is another distinctive feature.
