The song weaves in worldwide rhythms and makes you feel the roaring excitement of a stadium.

It captures the trembling nerves and soaring exhilaration of a challenger standing before the big stage, and it really sets your heart on fire as you listen.

This is a song by Naoto Inti Raymi, notable for its languid melody and comfortable rhythm.

It’s a track that showcases his musicality, which is embraced by listeners across generations.

Included on his ninth original album, Adonine, it was released in July 2023.

Although it wasn’t tied to any TV drama, like many of his songs, the lyrics compellingly portray down-to-earth romance.

It’s a recommended listen not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their everyday life.

Meeting upNaoto Intiraymi

Naoto Inti Raymi - Kobe Song “Machiawase” from Solo Acoustic Tour 2018

This “Machiawase” is the B-side track to Naoto Inti Raymi’s 18th single, “Overflows ~Kotoba ni Dekinakute~,” released in 2016.

That said, it wasn’t recorded in-studio; it features a live performance from Kobe International House.

The lyrics are quite niche—so much so that they’d really only resonate with people from Kobe.

This track is the lead song from Tabiuta Diary 2, created while traveling across countries.

It feels like a theme song for the road, woven by someone who’s walked countless journeys.

In the sense of savoring the extraordinary, it’s the same spirit—you can probably find things in the lyrics that resonate with camping and the outdoors, too.

The ska-style offbeat rhythm is delightful, and the catchy melody line makes it easy to listen to.

Give an ear to its unexpected mix as well: there’s a rap section in the middle, and you can sense a touch of folk/traditional elements woven into the background.
