Kinoko Teikoku – Night Hawk

Picking “Yotaka,” which features spoken-word poetry, from Kinoko Teikoku’s 2013 album eureka.

Within its floating, airy melody, vocalist Chiaki Sato’s lower register—different from her usual cute tone—resounds, unfolding a fantastical world that feels as if you’re being swallowed by a vast cosmos.

Because the piece employs poetry reading, where each word comes through distinctly, it allows you to savor the literary lyrics on a deeper level.

Spring and Asurakinoko teikoku24rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku “Spring and Asura” (with lyrics)

This song really sticks with you because of the lyric, “How should I kill that guy?” If you like female vocals with decadent lyrics, it’s highly recommended.

For those who loved Kinoko Teikoku from that era, some might feel that their current work is a bit lacking.

Last day

This is a track included on their second major-label album, Ai no Yukue (Where Love Goes), released on November 2, 2016.

It captures the everyday scenery and conversations with “you.” Precisely because these moments are ordinary, the song expresses a wish for them to continue so they never end.

The nuance in the final lyrics—“even if a day like that were to come to an end”—is especially moving.
