Chatmonchy “I’ll Be Dyed” Music Video

A mid-tempo number where the loneliness that drifts through the night city intersects with thoughts of someone special.

Wandering down an unfamiliar street, narrowing their eyes through cigarette smoke, the protagonist’s wavering emotions are vividly captured in lyrics by Akiko Fukuoka.

Eriko Hashimoto’s soaring vocals deliver a stinging blend of bitterness and wistfulness—a song that conveys the complexities of a woman’s heart.

Released as a single in November 2008, it was written as the theme song for the late-night NTV drama “Tonsura.” It also drew attention for being the first time Seiji Kameda served as producer, and it broke into the top 10 on the Oricon charts.

It has become a signature track, repeatedly included on releases such as the album “Kokuhaku” and various best-of compilations.

A song that stays by your side on nights when love leaves you swaying and you want to cherish your time alone.

Chatmonchy “Shangri-La” Music Video

There’s a behind-the-scenes story that the ending theme of the anime “Hataraki Man” was originally written as a dark song, but the final version turned out pop.

Beneath the bright melody, you can sense a certain instability and poignancy.

The overall vocal range is narrow but somewhat high, from C4 to D#5.

The key to singing it is to keep your delivery light.

The song itself is short at around three minutes, and the melody line is very simple, so even beginners to “Shangri-La” should be able to learn it quickly!
