GibbsShiina Ringo
If you like indie guitar rock, I think you’ll enjoy this female artist’s songs.
She has crafted a unique world of her own, and her presence exceeds what sales numbers alone would suggest.
She ranked 27th on the annual singles chart, with sales of 710,000 copies.
Ultramarine DaysToukyou Jihen
It’s the title track from their debut single released in 2004.
It’s included on the album “Kyōiku.” It was used in Sanyo’s commercial for the au W21SA.
The intense, sorrowful words ride on the melody and reach your ears, drawing you in more and more.
Don’t disappear.Aina Ji Endo (BiSH)
A solo track by Aina The End, a member of BiSH, an idol group that sings punk and rock.
It features a passionate arrangement that makes full use of her husky voice, showcasing her exceptional vocal ability.
Pay attention to the sound of her breaths during inhalation—the clearly recorded breathing makes the song feel even more impassioned.
The straightforward, hard-hitting rock sound is awesome, too!
scale (as of a fish or reptile)Hata Motohiro
This is a song released by Motohiro Hata in 2007, and it was also the first time he teamed up with Seiji Kameda.
Hata’s expansive, gentle singing voice is truly wonderful, isn’t it? The straightforward expression of love—like “I want to see you, so I’m going to see you”—resonates even more memorably through Hata’s clean, unaffected delivery.
It’s a masterpiece that feels like the meeting of an exceptional vocalist and an exceptional producer.
Front memorySuzuki Emiko/Kameda Seiji
This song was born from the collaboration between young singer Emiko Suzuki, born in 1999, and Seiji Kameda.
Although it was produced as the theme song for the film After the Rain, it’s actually a cover—the original is a track by Shinsei Kamattechan featuring Makoto Kawamoto as a guest vocalist.
The original has a piano-rock vibe characteristic of Shinsei Kamattechan, but this version brilliantly transforms it into a catchy pop tune.
Emiko Suzuki also has an incredibly powerful voice, and the more you listen, the more you become captivated by her charm.
A Tiny Love SongŌhara Sakurako
It’s a ballad written and composed by Seiji Kameda, performed in the climax scene of the film “The Liar and His Lover.” Sakurako Ohara plays Riko Koeda, and Takeru Satoh plays Aki Ogasawara.
In the story, although Aki speaks to Riko in a way that contradicts his true feelings, the two of them perform a session of the song he wrote for her, “A Tiny Love Song.” I was completely captivated by the high, calm, and clear tone of her voice.
Magic Wordssupittsu
It’s a song famous for being featured in the film “Honey and Clover.” It seems the worldview matched so well that the original author even commented it felt like the ending of the original work.
The bittersweet melody and lyrics are outstanding.
