As the title includes “Elegy,” it truly is a melancholic ballad.

You can tell it’s a yandere song where the person ends up hurting themselves.

Ken Hirai’s uniquely gentle, soft vocals make it all the more heartrending to listen to.

It seems that Tetsuya Miwa, the guitarist of Spitz, and Akihiro Tamura, the drummer, are childhood friends from Fujieda City in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Spitz is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, and during a show in Shizuoka, Masamune said in the MC, “If you round it off, Spitz is a Shizuoka band,” which delighted the audience.

In conclusion

Of course he’s worked with big-name artists, but even with familiar songs you hear all the time, you might have had that “Wait, this was produced by Seiji Kameda?!” moment of discovery. I certainly found lots of surprises while researching this time. The music Kameda creates seems to be wrapped in a warm atmosphere that everyone can share. I realized I want to keep listening to that kind of “bringing smiles” music from now on!
