Hunchback and habits

Neguse, a four-piece band from Nagoya whose motto is “Smile,” has garnered massive support especially among young people.

This early signature track of theirs is a love song that vividly captures the small, everyday happiness of daily life.

Sprinkled with down-to-earth keywords like “incurably bad posture” and “coin laundry,” its unadorned, true-to-life lyrics resonate deeply with listeners.

Since vocalist Ryotachi wrote it based on real experiences, the sense of reality is outstanding.

Included on their first mini-album “Happy Life,” released in April 2021, the song has remained a live staple and was re-recorded for their 2024 full album.

Give it a listen on the way home with your partner, or anytime you want to feel a warm glow in a quiet moment.

End of autumn

Autumn tends to make us sentimental no matter what we’re doing, and there’s a song by the rock band Neguse that seems sure to amplify that feeling.

Its clever wordplay layers the “end of boredom” in love with the “end of autumn,” conveying, with palpable intensity, the premonition of a relationship with someone you once loved coming to an end and the helplessness that follows.

This track, included on their April 2021 mini-album Happy na Kurashi (A Happy Life), is one of the band’s signature early works.

Many people likely feel this way when they think back on a former lover.

With its realistic lyrics, this poignant love song gently keeps you company on a long autumn night.

This ambitious work welcomes singer-songwriter Reira Ushio as a guest and marks the band’s first venture into a featuring collaboration.

Set to a mellow sound infused with R&B and soul elements, the lyrics evoke the frustration of lovers who long to meet but cannot, and the joy of being in love—drawing on the motif of Orihime and Hikoboshi.

The interplay between male and female vocals vividly paints a story that is both bittersweet and warm.

A demo had actually existed for two years, and this long-anticipated production was finally released digitally in June 2025.

It was also selected as the ending theme for the TV Asahi variety show “What’s Wrong with Being ‘Azatoi’?” and has become a major talking point.

It’s a romantic number you’ll want to listen to on a quiet night, gazing up at the night sky and thinking of someone special.
