It’s a work that gives you the courage to take a step forward.

A track by Lucky Kilimanjaro that feels like the curtain rising on a musical.
The glamorous strings lift your spirits, while the medium-tempo beat lays down an endlessly comfortable groove—the contrast is fantastic.
The lyrics gently affirm loneliness and tears, turning them into light, buoyant steps, giving you a gentle push forward.
Released in January 2021, the song appears on the album “DAILY BOP” and was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Netapare.” It’s the perfect number for settling your mind at the end of the day.

The swell of the chorus instantly brightens your mood and fills you with positivity.

The tone is by no means subdued, yet the whisper-like singing of Kinoko Teikoku’s female vocalist feels somehow fragile, gently piercing the ears.
It’s a song that makes you feel it’s beautiful and so delicate it might shatter if you grasp it—yet you want to cherish it all the same.

That’s enough already.Fuji Kaze
Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who had been posting piano performance videos since childhood and drawing attention for his exceptional technique.
Released in December 2019, this track later became a core piece of his debut album, HELP EVER HURT NEVER.
It features a sound defined by a minimalist, hip-hop-influenced beat interwoven with gospel-style choruses.
The lyrics, which step away from entanglements like competition and the desire for approval to free the self, gently resonate with hearts weary of the daily clamor.
Rather than resignation, it’s a song that offers a positive sense of release, embracing everything and moving forward.
