NakamuraEmi “Bakemono” Music Video

For adult women, making an effort to become beautiful is essential, isn’t it? Makeup, skincare, and weight management matter, too.

Achieving a healthy, beautiful body and skin requires daily care.

But when work keeps you late or you’re tired, anyone can end up neglecting their routine.

For women living in today’s world, I want you to listen to NakamuraEmi’s “Bakemono.” I think many women will relate to this song, and those lacking confidence may find strength in it.

It’s a recommended track for women who enjoy going solo for outdoor activities or camping.

This song, featured in a Volkswagen Polo commercial, is included on singer-songwriter NakamuraEmi’s 2018 album “NIPPONNO ONNAWO UTAU Vol.5.” It’s said to be a re-arranged version of a track from her indie days.

NakamuraEmi’s vocals—like an instrument in their own right—and the aggressive yet positive message depicting a fight under the banner of “It’s up to me” are truly empowering.

It’s an encouraging anthem dedicated to working women.

This is the NakamuraEmi version, hailing from Atsugi City in Kanagawa Prefecture, whose powerful vocals are unimaginable from her petite frame.

Together with producer Hiroshi Kawamura, she crafted an arrangement notable for its simple tones of acoustic guitar and piano.

Her signature style—carefully savoring each and every word—beautifully overlaps with the bittersweet worldview of Spitz’s classic.

After being performed as part of a live project in October 2022, it was recorded and included on the single “Haruku,” released in March 2024.

It’s a track where warmth and loneliness coexist, one you’ll want to listen to at autumn dusk or when you want to quietly immerse yourself in music alone.
