The song “Hoseki” included on the 1st album “Sketch.” Its lyrics, which evoke a new departure, together with the lyrical ensemble, create a sentimental yet positive atmosphere.

Kichijoji

The song “Kichijoji,” included on the first album Sketch and used as the CM song for Sokenbicha’s “Sokenbicha: Move Me Forward” campaign, features lyrics that recount Lila Ikuta’s memories of Kichijoji, a place she frequented during her student days.

The nostalgic atmosphere seems to evoke listeners’ own memories.

Although the high notes continue throughout, the overall range is narrow, so it should be easier to sing at karaoke if you set the key to suit your voice.

However, be careful: if you don’t consciously keep the fast shuffle beat in mind, your rhythm can slip.
