PolarisAimer
Polaris is a track included on the mini-album After Dark, released in November 2013.
It’s a ballad that leaves a strong impression with Aimer’s husky vocals, and its lyrics—centered on a ship sailing across the sea—give you the courage to move forward even while feeling loneliness and anxiety.
The gentle yet powerful melody really hits you in the heart.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to on nights spent alone or after parting with someone important.
If you sing it at karaoke, you’ll surely be able to let the emotions welling up from deep inside resonate.
Two starsyurayura teikoku
If you want to surrender yourself to a sweet psychedelic ballad, try this track from Yura Yura Teikoku’s classic album “Me no Car.” Released in June 1999, it’s a seven-and-a-half-minute epic that closes out the album, with a dreamy, mist-wandering atmosphere and a wistful melody that tugs at the heart.
The calmly repeating rhythm and guitar tones shimmering like a water’s surface feel soothing, and despite its length, it never grows tiresome.
Contrary to the band’s reputation for intense songs, this one is quiet and romantic—perfect for when you want to sing with a gentle, tender touch.
Its sound, which feels like the stillness before dawn, is ideal for a relaxed moment with close friends or for immersing yourself alone in the world of the song.
Rainbow RecipeSukima Suichi
A richly colorful pop number that likens the process of building music, layer by layer, to a “rainbow.” It’s a work by the musical duo Sukima Switch, released as a single in May 2009, and it’s also included on their fifth album, Nayuta to Fukashigi.
Despite its extended length of about 7 minutes and 40 seconds, the structure that gradually swells toward the latter half is superb.
It was used as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN” and as the image song for the 2nd Honolulu Rainbow Ekiden 2014.
The lyrics convey a creative passion to complete a work through trial and error, stirring the heart.
Immerse yourself in this piece’s world, where diverse sounds blend together, and try singing it with a music-loving friend.
