I don’t really care.never young beach
If you’re heading out camping to get away from the busyness of everyday life and spend some laid-back time in nature, I highly recommend chill tracks like those by never young beach! The relaxed, unstrained vocals, the style of turning rambling happenings into lyrics, and the spacey, effect-laden guitar tones are all wonderfully mellow.
These songs are a perfect match for sunny days.
They’re great for lazy, do-nothing afternoons, so give them a listen!

Yoshie Nakano, who is also active as the vocalist of the music unit EGO-WRAPPIN’, is known for her ability to skillfully sing songs across a wide range of genres.
Among her tracks, the one that’s perfect for camping is “Anata o.” It was included on the 2021 album Amai.
A jazzy piano sound resonates, depicting a sentimental heart.
Her languid yet translucent vocals will soothe your fatigue.
If you’re heading out for a solo camping trip to forget the stress of work or school, be sure to give it a listen.
Islanders’ TreasureBEGIN
If you want to soak in a chill mood while gazing at a campfire, how about using BEGIN’s “Shimanchu nu Takara” as your BGM? The Okinawan folk flavor and the soothing sound of acoustic guitar are sure to heal you.
It’s a perfect track to listen to on a solo camping trip, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
It’s also great for spending a relaxed time with close friends or buddies while this song plays.
Even if you’re not from Okinawa, it’s a captivating classic that’s sure to win your heart.
A good timeEVISBEATS
After leaving the legendary Osaka street crew, Insist (Infunai Kumiai), EVISBEATS has been thriving solo as a multi-talent—rapping, singing, and producing tracks.
This song, titled “Ii Jikan” (Good Times), rides a laid-back, relaxing beat, delivered in a flow that sits between singing and rapping.
The lyrics deftly capture those moments in everyday life when your heart is suddenly swept away.
Even if you’re not into the more extreme expressions often found in rap music, this is absolutely listenable—give it a try.
Carnival of Flames and ForestsSEKAI NO OWARI
A single by SEKAI NO OWARI released in 2014.
The music video—featuring the members marching through a forest at night with their instruments—is striking, and the grand fanfare arrangement paired with vocalist Fukase’s gentle voice makes for a soothing track.
With its sense of nature and the theme of fire, it’s definitely a song you’ll want to enjoy together toward the end of a camping trip.
