This is a warmhearted anthem born from “letters to myself 10 years from now” sent by young people in Shimane Prefecture.

Its lyrics gently convey that there isn’t only one right answer in life and that it’s important to follow your own path, paired with a catchy, soothing piano melody that leaves a strong impression.
The work is an ambitious creation by the members—who are themselves from Matsue City—made in deep empathy with the feelings of local youth.

In that case, I’d like to introduce “Moving Day Pt.
2.” It’s a track by Homecomings, a rock band based in Kyoto.
Although it was included on their first major-label album, word of mouth spread quickly.
With slightly laid-back vocals and a mellow melody, it seems perfect for relaxing in the morning.
The song was actually written as the theme for the film “Moving Days,” so watching the movie alongside it will let you enjoy the world of the song even more.
