Anyway, it’s a wonderfully comforting track.

When you listen to it, it warms you up, makes you sleepy, makes you feel lonely—it stirs all kinds of emotions.

The instruments as a whole feel cohesive, with not a single part seeming unnecessary, so it might be interesting to focus on a different instrument each time you listen.

Speaking of Japan’s original “guitar girl,” it has to be her.

The sight of her singing while playing guitar, with a boyish short haircut, was striking.

Her uniquely phrased lyrics also drew attention, and her debut album, Makoto Kawamoto, sold over one million copies.
