DAOKO “The Same Night” Music Video

DAOKO’s “Onaji Yoru” (“Same Night”) features a melody that evokes a summer night in the city.

It’s included on her 2017 album THANK YOU BLUE.

DAOKO’s languid, slightly ennui-tinged vocals and the floaty yet steadily flowing melody create an atmosphere that seems to move past the loneliness of summer and almost accept that the season is ending.

There’s a detached, clear-eyed mood—whether it’s today in summer or autumn starting tomorrow, it’s just the same days and the same nights coming around.

Recommended for those who’d rather accept it and coolly welcome autumn than sink into melancholy.
