It’s the kind of exhilarating guitar sound you want to hear under a piercingly blue sky—absolutely refreshing and feel-good.

The track is by the rock duo LOVE PSYCHEDELICO and was released in May 2001 as their fourth single.

Since it was used in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat commercial, many people probably associate this melody with memories of summer.

The song was later included on the classic album “LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ORCHESTRA.” KUMI’s vocals effortlessly leap between English and Japanese, and together with NAOKI’s riffs, the track seems to carry a breeze of freedom.

A song that nimbly leaps over the boundary between Western and Japanese music, and can be considered the very origin of LOVE PSYCHEDELICO.

KUMI’s one-of-a-kind vocals and NAOKI’s addictive guitar riffs leave a strong impression, and the unique groove woven from English and Japanese grabs listeners’ hearts and never lets go.

Although it was their debut single released in April 2000, it drew major attention at the time, being featured as the TV commercial song for Right-on and as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “M no Mokushiroku.” Later included on the masterpiece “THE GREATEST HITS,” this track still sounds as fresh as ever today.

It’s the perfect number for a driving soundtrack or when you want to relax in a stylish space!

Released in May 2010, this single by LOVE PSYCHEDELICO was chosen as the main theme for the Fuji TV drama “Zettai Reido: Mikaiketsu Jiken Tokumei Sousa” (Absolute Zero: Special Investigation into Unsolved Cases).

In fact, this piece is a reimagined version—enhanced with strings to suit the drama—of a track originally included on their 2002 album “LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ORCHESTRA.” The dry tone of the guitar layered with sweeping strings further heightens the tense, taut mood of the story.

It’s a masterpiece perfect for nights when you want to quietly sink into your thoughts alone, or when you want to surrender yourself to a deep, resonant sound.
