This song is included on their third album “echo,” released in 2011.

Although Nothing’s often use English lyrics, this track is in Japanese.

The guitar’s refreshing melody and the beautiful vocals are wonderful, and the MV’s breezy vibe matches perfectly—it’s an excellent song.

It’s a song where the rhythm section really stands out, and the lively, moving bassline is super cool.

This is a track included on the 3rd album, “echo.” First, I’d like you to focus on the very unusual sound the bass is making.

Those who know the band well will recognize that it’s not a typical bass sound.

It’s a song where you can enjoy the bass being used like a special effect, stepping away from its usual role in the band.

Nothing’s Carved In Stone, formed around Shinichi Ubukata of ELLEGARDEN and Hidekazu Hinata of STRAIGHTENER, made their debut in 2009.

Boasting enough popularity to sell out a show at Nippon Budokan and a career spanning over 15 years, they’re currently drawing attention with their song “May,” released in May 2025.

The superb melody—driven by their signature emotional guitar sound and Takashi Muramatsu’s powerful yet wistful vocals—hints at the birth of a new anthem.

When singing it at karaoke, aim for clear enunciation and try to savor each and every word of the lyrics as you sing.

This song was released in 2013.

It’s included on the album REVOLT, and a live performance of it is featured on the bonus DVD that came with the limited first pressing of the 2013 single Tsubame Crimson.

Its driving pace and occasional breaks captivate listeners, and the guitar riff in the outro is cool as well.
