Singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku, whose work is drawing attention—including being the first Japanese artist selected for Spotify Sessions—has been making waves.

Her song “Rock of Water Flow,” included on her first album, “Gyakko de Mienai,” features a simple ensemble of piano and drums that highlights its strong melody.

The bass line, which creates a swell that can’t be expressed by piano and drums alone, may not stand out, but you can feel how it underpins the entire track.

It’s an emotional number, with playing that makes full use of the characteristics of stringed instruments and lingers in the ear.

This is a track from the first full-length album, “Gyakko de Mienai,” released in 2015.

It’s a piano ballad that showcases Natsuko Nisshoku’s playing, which evokes a rich array of sounds like a full orchestra.

The fresh, sharp-edged lyrics convey anger and resignation, as well as the hope that stands in contrast to them.

Give it a relaxed listen amid the unresolved days of life.

Singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku paints orchestral scenes with just a single piano.

This track, included on her mini-album “Oumu” released in September 2017, features lyrics that are remarkably unique, built around slogans we all likely heard in childhood.

Now that we’re adults, they resonate like warm little spells to keep ourselves in check, reminding us of the candid feelings we’d nearly forgotten.

It’s a number that teaches the importance of facing yourself when you hit a wall.

This is a track included on the 3rd mini-album “Mabuta-Mabuta.” It’s a song that cuts in very sharply and really takes you by surprise.

The piano phrases here and there feel very delicate and beautiful.

The closing phrase has a slightly cold touch, which is wonderful.

A song I especially want people who feel uncertain in their everyday lives to hear is “Latency.” It was included on singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku’s 2017 album Parrot, delivering soulful tracks crafted from her unique perspective.

Centered on piano and drums, the sound is simple yet deeply moving.

Alongside her dynamic performance and vocals, you’ll feel a powerful message.

It’s a rock number that will resonate with anyone thinking, “I just feel kind of muddled…”

This song, which starts with an up-tempo, aggressive piano phrase, is one of the tracks on the 2016 album “Gekirin Mania.” The vocals are just as powerful as the piano, letting you fully feel Nisshoku-san’s appeal.

I’ve heard the music video was filmed on the snowy plains of Hokkaido, which perfectly matches the lyrics that begin from a state of being pushed to the limit.

The lyrics revolve around the theme of a bold challenge from the edge of a cliff, and reading them will give you the courage to take a step forward when you’re feeling dissatisfied with your current situation.

The ballad “Yae” evokes a tenderness like being wrapped in the gentle sunshine of spring.

In this piece, the piano played by singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku leaves a strong impression.

Its light, sprightly piano and straightforward vocals resonate pleasantly, and as you listen, it stirs such sorrow that tears may begin to flow naturally.

The falsetto in the chorus, in particular, conveys a fragile atmosphere, making it a recommended track for letting your tears out and finding relief during tough times.

The transition right after the chorus into a more powerful singing style is also beautiful, so be sure to pay attention to that part as well!
