CakesHomecomings
Homecomings is a band formed in Kyoto while the members were still in college.
They have songs with Japanese lyrics and songs with English lyrics; some tracks feature distorted guitars, while others have a round, gentle sound.
They offer a variety of expressions, but what their songs share is a laid-back atmosphere and a nostalgic feel.
I’m sure a big part of it comes from vocalist Ayaka Tatono’s distinctively gentle delivery—this sensation is their identity and greatest charm.
They’re a band I recommend when you want music that softly wraps around your ears.
