Megami Ni Natte

“Become a Goddess” is a song included on Elephant Kashimashi’s 2002 album “Life.” Miyamoto’s love songs feel somehow masculine, rugged, and awkward, which I think really brings out the image of an ungainly man.

But that’s exactly why the lyrics come through so directly.

The song itself is rough-hewn, yet it’s a very beautiful love song.

A song wrapped in the melancholy of autumn gently embraces the heart in November.

Featured on Elephant Kashimashi’s album “Seikatsu,” released in September 1990, this piece hides a quiet strength within its relaxed folk-rock style.
