Natori – Terminal

Since a demo version was posted on social media in May 2021, many fans have been eagerly awaiting an official release from singer-songwriter Natori.

Included on the first album “Gekijou,” this track is an emotional number where early-era ideas have been refined to completion.

The sound evokes the stillness of night and the chill of the city, intertwining exquisitely with whispery vocals to draw listeners into a unique world.

The music video by filmmaker Emi Miyama has also become a hot topic, with a narrative that links to the previous track “Love Song.” It’s a richly atmospheric piece that pairs perfectly with late-night drives or quiet, solitary evenings.

natori – Propose

Natori, who continues to broaden his scope as a music creator, has a standout recommendation among his tracks: this work, released as a digital single in June 2025.

Contrary to the title’s blissful image, its defining feature is lyrics that intertwine negative emotions—such as anxieties about love and self-denial.

Also included on his second album, “Deep Sea,” slated for release in January 2026, the song is marked by a sprightly, memorable melody.

It spread across social media like TikTok alongside an easy-to-dance-to choreography.

The chorus is catchy and sticks in your head, making it a surefire crowd-pleaser at karaoke.

It’s a must-add to the repertoire of anyone looking to express an adult romance that isn’t all sweetness.

natori – Thread That Connects Us

Singer-songwriter Natori, who first drew attention by posting videos on TikTok and has steadily won support—especially among young listeners—for a distinctive musical sensibility.

Released in September 2024, this work was written as the theme song for the film “Arrogance and Goodness.” The sound, shaped with producer Koichi Tsutaya, highlights the allure of Natori’s languid vocals, evoking a heart-tightening poignancy with every listen.

Lyrics that liken a fragile relationship with another person to a thread mirror the film’s story and seem poised to stir the listener’s emotions.

Also included on the 2026 album “Shinkai” (Deep Sea), this is an emotional track you’ll want to sit with quietly on sleepless nights.

Natori – Dining table

Singer-songwriter Natori, who has built a unique musical style with social media as the main battleground and enjoys overwhelming support especially among young people.

Released in October 2023, this song is included on the first album “Gekijō” (Theatre) and brims with biting irony toward the irresponsible consumption and criticism that run rampant on social media.

Its distinctive lyrics, which liken the endless swiping of videos to a meal, together with an aggressive, addictive digital sound, seize listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.

The chef outfit Natori wears in the music video directed by Eirina Hamono also leaves a strong impression, doesn’t it? It’s an energetic, stimulating number that we especially want people to hear when they’re feeling daily SNS fatigue or want to blow off pent-up frustration.

natori – Sleepwalk

This dance track, inspired by a horror game, blends unease with exhilaration.

Singer-songwriter Natori, who has racked up hits starting from activity on social media and enjoys immense support from young listeners, released this work in December 2023; it’s included as the lead track on the first album “Gekijou” (Theater).

The four-on-the-floor beat and electro sound feel great, offering a curious sense of floating that blurs the line between reality and dreams.

The worldview of the lyrics, which depict everyday dissonance and discomfort, draws you deeper the more you listen.

The music video also became a hot topic, and this track is perfect for a nighttime drive or when you want to immerse yourself in music alone.

Let yourself sink into its distinctive groove and you’ll likely experience an addictive pull you can’t escape.

A rock tune that could be called Natori’s new frontier, fusing intense band sounds with dance beats.

Its brain-scrambling, energetic sound is a highly addictive number—perfect for nights when you want to forget everyday stress and dance your heart out, or when you feel like setting yourself free.
