painVaundy
This song is imbued with deep insight into the absurdity of life.
It sincerely confronts the meaning of birth and the burdens humans carry, using weighty lyrics to raise probing questions.
Its mellow sound and arrangements that consciously evoke a subtle sense of dissonance make this message-driven track all the more striking.
Released on YouTube in June 2019, this work is Vaundy’s first original song as an artist.
It was also included on a CD released exclusively at a self-organized live show the same year, and was performed at a no-audience solo concert at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO in August 2020.
It’s a recommended listen when you want to think deeply about how to live and your relationship with society, or when you wish to reexamine the meaning of life.
It gently stays close to the listener’s heart and will evoke profound empathy.
Living My Lifemilet
Singer-songwriter milet captivates fans with her delicate yet rich vocals, and her performance at the closing ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics garnered significant attention.
Her song “Living My Life,” included on her third album, 5am, was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama The Devil Wears J-Job Change (The Job Change Devil).
Its message—about the importance of never losing yourself no matter what difficulties you face—gives a powerful push to those pursuing their dreams and goals.

Atashisyudou
Syudou’s 2023 track “Atashi” is a song that conveys the struggle of living true to yourself.
There are times when you think it’s enough to live unbound, without conforming to others—surrounding yourself with what you love and being free on your own.
But when someone enters that life, or when the notion of being “normal” creeps in, the things that make you who you are start to crumble bit by bit.
Even so, you can feel a kind of tenacity—an insistence on continuing to live authentically, even if it means struggling—coming through both the lyrics and the prickly melody.
It’s a recommended song for those moments when you’re fed up with the stifling environment around you.

If you’re struggling with something, I encourage you to listen to this song and take in its message.

Perfect for celebrating new beginnings, such as weddings and anniversaries.
