Listening to classical or jazz music can really soothe the mind, can’t it? Dresscodes’ 2021 release “Hanarete Iru” evokes a grand theme.

Its beautiful strings and piano tones are striking, giving a sense of spacious sound.

The worldview is captivating, conjuring images of various great figures such as painters and writers.

It even carries a beauty reminiscent of contemporary art.

If you like post-rock bands like Sigur Rós, give it a listen.

The Dresscodes – Like an Anime

Music packed with philosophical words can be considered an artistic work.

“Anime Mitaina,” included on The Dresscodes’ 2014 release “1,” is a track wrapped in a jazzy, moody atmosphere.

Its exotic guitar work and deep synth sounds are captivating.

The lyrics, themed around “anime,” which has become a national pastime, seem like a challenge posed to the modern age.

It’s a song I’d recommend to those seeking truly unique Japanese music or who have a taste for literature.

The title track of their second album, released in 2013, is this “Bande Dessinée.” Originally, “bande dessinée” is a French term for comics, and from the Merzbow-era—sorry, from the Maezawa Fur’s Maries era—Shima has had a distinctive habit of using words like “comic” and “shōnen manga” in song titles and lyrics.

The way he weaves these uncommon, striking words into titles and verses is one of the appealing quirks of his songwriting.

This track, with its crisp rock sound, catchy, familiar melody line, and lyrics that reflect on a worldview, can be seen as a song that encapsulates the essence of early The Dresscodes.
