If you’re looking to indulge in a slightly sentimental mood on a chilly autumn night, I recommend a wistful mid-tempo number from Chatmonchy.

Released in November 2008, this song poignantly conveys the loneliness of city nights and the tender ache of stretching yourself to do something unfamiliar.

The gradient of a heart that has lost something precious and is slowly dyed a different color seems to resonate in your chest, carried by Eriko Hashimoto’s aching vocals.

This was the band’s ninth single and marked their first entry into the Oricon Top 10.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Tonsura” and included on the classic album “Kokuhaku” (Confession).

Sing it earnestly at karaoke, and memories of your youth might just come flooding back.

A song in which Chatmonchy sings about a love story brimming with a sense of the seasons is Aikawarazu.

It portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who goes to see the person she’s interested in, using an excuse to do so.

By incorporating strings to create a grand sound, it expresses the fluttering excitement in her heart.

Another key point is that, although the lyrics don’t explicitly say so, they’re filled with imagery that evokes summer.

As you listen, you can’t help but picture a summer night without even realizing it.

The two-piece rock band Chatmonchy sadly disbanded in 2018.

Their song Saraba Seishun (Farewell, Youth) is included on Chatmonchy’s debut album, “chatmonchy has come,” released in 2005.

From the very start, the lyrics hit hard, stirring up a poignant sense of longing.

They make you realize just how special and amazing those ordinary, unremarkable days at school with friends really were.

It leaves you with the feeling that even if you want to go back, you can’t.

This is a double A-side single track included on the fifth single, “Tobiuo no Butterfly / Sekai ga Owaru Yoru ni,” released on June 20, 2007.

The song, said to have been born from experiences in the bleakness of Tokyo, is sung over a gentle melody and is a ballad that can be listened to in a reflective mood.

This is Chatmonchy’s sixth single, released in 2007.

It was used as an ending theme for the anime BLEACH, and the song itself was reportedly written by vocalist Eriko Hashimoto when she was in high school.

It’s a gentle ballad that sings of struggling with the things you begin to see as you grow up, and the wish to go back to those days.

While facing your troubles is important, it’s also okay to cherish your own feelings now and then—this is a song I hope you’ll listen to at such times.
