These are Quruli’s classic and popular songs. A sound-maker that makes music fans swoon.

Tokyokururi

Quruli – Tokyo

Speaking of Quruli, they’re a Kyoto band, and their Kansai-dialect stage banter is part of their charm, but their debut single is, surprisingly, titled “Tokyo.” And yet it perfectly captures both the allure of Tokyo as a place and the loneliness of living there—it’s wonderful.

The intro riff alone is already sorrowful.

Let yourself sink into the transience of the human world.

miraclekururi

Quruli – Miracle

A song written specifically for a film directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, it teaches us that true brilliance resides in the quiet routines of everyday life.

It distills both the earnest longing for someone far away and the resolve to move forward step by step on one’s own feet, conveying the importance of cherishing our present lives rather than seeking dramatic episodes.

Remem­ber mekururi

Quruli – Remember Me

This song was used as the theme for NHK’s “Family History.” It’s perfect not only as a graduation song, but also as a send-off for children leaving the nest or friends moving far away.

Above all, it’s astonishing how deeply a music video made with nothing but a pencil and eraser shavings can resonate.

Magic Carpetkururi

Quruli – Magic Carpet

This is Quruli’s first double A-side single.

It’s a track included on their 9th album, “Kotoba ni Naranai, Egao o Misetekureyo.” Used as the theme song for the Chiovita Drink commercial, it’s a bittersweet yet refreshing pop tune.

It makes you feel like you could fly far away.

Cheerful Peanutskururi

Quruli – Pleasant Peanuts

This is the 22nd single and a track included on the 8th album, “Tamashii no Yukue” (Where the Soul Goes).

It was later used as the theme song for Apple’s iPhone 3GS commercial.

The unique music video is a must-see.

Rock ‘n’ rollkururi

Quruli – Rock 'n' Roll

This track was also used on the TV program “Minna no Tetsudō” (Everyone’s Railway).

It’s a song that likens oneself to a train, steadily moving forward day by day, step by step.

It’s perfect for listening on the train—on your commute to work or school.

Be sure to watch the music video too, featuring a performance in extreme cold! I’m even wearing gloves while playing the guitar!!

Highwaykururi

Quruli – Highway

It’s their 12th single and also the theme song for the film “Josee, the Tiger and the Fish.” The melody is very gentle, and the lyrics really convey a longing for the extraordinary within everyday life.

The phrase in the lyrics, “I’m going to do something big,” really hits home.
