MARIONETTEBOØWY

For men in their early 50s, BOØWY may have been an object of admiration.

Their songs are still often sung at karaoke, aren’t they? MARIONETTE is one of BOØWY’s signature tracks.

Kyosuke Himuro is known for his distinctive vocal technique of restraining volume to make hitting high notes easier, and this song strongly reflects that trait.

For slightly higher phrases like his, deliberately lowering your volume helps you align your pitch smoothly.

Since there are very few long sustained notes, it’s also recommended for those who aren’t confident in their lung capacity.

The end of the festivalcadode

The three-piece unit cadode, formed by koshi, eba, and others, is a rare group in the J-pop scene, distinguished by their unique musical style they call “ruins pop.” Their song Festival’s End is striking for its grand, radiant sound tinged with Celtic hues, yet at its core flows the stillness after the festivities and a subtle sense of loneliness.

On a night when the clamor of summer recedes into the distance, listening to this track in a sentimental mood—enhanced by koshi’s somewhat fleeting vocals—offers a gentle, deep-tingling sensation that permeates the chest.

It’s a song well-suited to moments spent reflecting on seasons that have passed.

The band’s ensemble radiates heat like the glare off asphalt, making you work up a sweat just by listening.

Put it on during a summer drive, and your spirits are guaranteed to soar whether you like it or not!
