In a dreamKetsumeishi

A track from their third album, Ketsunopolis 3, released on October 1, 2003.

This song was secretly created by the other members to celebrate DJ KOHNO’s wedding, but it apparently wasn’t finished in time for the ceremony.

Because of that, it’s still often used as wedding background music and frequently sung at karaoke during after-parties.

Setting out, becoming alone, taking a step and finding yourself in solitude—becoming free like a bird—standing on a hill, blown by the wind.

Without giving up, keep walking; without giving up, keep smiling as you go.

Many people hold this phrase close as their support.

A track included on the 2005 album Ketsume-Police 4.

Its quietly unhurried flow subtly brings out the anxieties and inner conflicts we carry in everyday life, striking a chord.

Recommended for those chasing their dreams and working hard—or for those who are feeling a little tired.

On the holy nightKetsumeishi

This is Ketsumeishi’s first winter song.

When December comes, I always feel like listening to it.

It captures, with Ketsumeishi’s signature pop feel, that season when sorrow and warmth surface at the same time.

There are many winter songs for the season, but I always end up wanting to listen to this one too.

The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)Ketsumeishi

Released in 2002, this is their fifth major single.

Rather than focusing on human emotions, it’s a grand piece themed around nature, which has continued unbroken since ancient times.

In the chorus, the expansive vocals are simply captivating.

The sound, featuring instruments like piano and taiko drums, has a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from their usual songs.
