Ohashi Trio / Polaris (Lyric Video)
PolarisŌhashi Torio

This is a song by Ohashi Trio, a singer-songwriter known for his style of performing a wide range of instruments by himself.

Given his name and the richly instrumental nature of his music, it might even be a deliberate strategy that people often mistake him for a band rather than a solo act.

His hallmark is an acoustic sound that incorporates elements of jazz, and this track is especially notable for its relaxed feel with prominently resonant piano and bass.

The lyrics, matching the mood of the sound, evoke the calm atmosphere of a quiet night, and just listening to it can put you in a peaceful state of mind.
