Autumn Daypasupie

Passepied – Autumn Day

From the thick synth chords in the intro, the way the sound suddenly tightens and slips into the vocals makes this a unique track.

Lines like “What does dawdling taste like?” and “I was tired—my wet handkerchief, it was made in China, wasn’t it?” reveal glimpses of vocalist/lyricist Ogoda’s distinctive sensibility throughout the lyrics.

Passepied – Autumn Day

This track blends a Japanese-style melody with mechanical synth sounds to create a mysterious atmosphere.

It’s also interesting how it subtly evokes an autumn landscape.

I think it would be fun to sing it with a laid-back vibe, like Passepied.

Before the Dawnpasupie

Passepied – Before Dawn

A track from a single released in 2016.

It’s a song that showcases a level of perfection that could be called a kind of pinnacle for Passepied, who have honed an oriental style based on a concept that’s a bit different from “purely traditional Japanese”—more like “the Japan imagined by foreigners.”
