As the title suggests, it’s a gentle lullaby that naturally makes you close your eyes and listen intently.
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.

With lyrics by Reiko Yukawa and music by Naoki Yamada, Kobayashi delivers a captivating performance of this Spanish- and Latin-flavored kayōkyoku.
It’s the kind of song that would likely be a hit at karaoke.
