white frostNisshoku Natsuko
“white frost,” included on the second full-length album Permafrost released in 2019, is a song about the resolve to leave one’s hometown and live in another city.
Natsuko Nisshoku, who spent time in a snowy region, is said to have turned her newfound reluctance to return from there into lyrics.
Centered on piano accompaniment, the sound is elevated by rhythm tracks and strings.
The music video, filmed at New Zealand’s Tasman Glacier and lakeside, conveys the grandeur of the great outdoors.
Song of the Local Trend-FollowerNisshoku Natsuko
A song written specifically for a video in the project called “Tokyo Local Promotion,” produced by Fukuya Real Estate Sales.
The video shines a spotlight on “people who build up regional towns,” and it’s edited like a documentary program, making it heartwarming.
demon huntingNisshoku Natsuko
The single “Akuma-gari” (Demon Hunt), released in 2021, features a cool sound that fuses kayōkyoku and jazz.
The lead track “Akuma-gari” has been pre-released.
Its lyrics evoke a world of madness—doubt, betrayal, fear—that becomes addictive the more you listen.
TABU ZOMBIE from the club jazz band SOIL&”PIMP”SESSIONS joins on trumpet, adding a brilliant flourish to the track.
Be sure to check out the music video, which features Natsuko Nisshoku in a red dress performing on piano!
trial by ordeal in the airNisshoku Natsuko
The 2018 single “Kūchū Saiban” (Airborne Trial) shows that the piano is also a rhythm instrument.
It was initially sold exclusively at live venues and later released on various music platforms.
At the start of the track, the left hand plays rhythm like a bassist, and the piece builds excitement through a variety of techniques, including short, clipped staccato and syncopation that drives the groove.
The single also includes a cover of the Eagles’ classic “Desperado,” so be sure to give it a listen!
Foam’s Miniature GardenNisshoku Natsuko
Bubble Garden is a fantastical ballad imbued with melancholy and fragility, and it served as the B-side to the third single, Midsummer Dinosaur, released in 2021.
It’s a collaboration with Taiwanese artist Ruby Fatale, and was also included on the album Anti-freeze released the same year.
The officially released lyric video was created by animation artist Hana Ono, who hails from the same hometown as Natsuko Nisshoku, and it features a single illustration newly drawn by Ono specifically for this project.
Freedom of lethal doseNisshoku Natsuko
Released in 2018 as a concert-exclusive single, “A Lethal Dose of Freedom” lives up to its striking title, delivering a powerful message about the fear lurking within the seemingly wonderful idea of “freedom.” While the lyrics carry a dark undertone, the light, rhythmic piano and the rhythm section’s pulsing groove create a bright, happy sonic arrangement in contrast.
Though it runs only about two and a half minutes, it’s a track that lets you fully savor Nisshoku Natsuko’s unique worldview.

Hero MissingNisshoku Natsuko
This song, which evokes a refreshing, breezy feeling as if dashing lightly ahead, was released in 2015 as her debut single.
The jazzy atmosphere of the performance, the catchy melodic lines, and the pleasingly euphonic lyrics are hallmarks of her music and can be considered among its greatest strengths.
At the same time, the lyrics carry a thought-provoking edge, even tinged with irony, so I encourage you to take this opportunity to listen closely while reading along with the lyrics.
