Moon and Knife — Suga Shikao

Shikao Suga’s “Moon and Knife” is a song that gently stays close to those who feel a stabbing pain in their hearts after heartbreak.

On a night wrapped in silence, soft moonlight slips in, and Suga’s voice amplifies that bittersweetness.

While the first chorus poses negative questions, the latter half carries a slightly more hopeful tone.

Through that shift, you can sense the passage of time and the gradual healing of a wounded heart.

As if speaking on your behalf, this song offers the experience of warming frozen emotions.

Suga Shikao / Dash Through the Hit Chart

The artist Shikao Suga, known for his catchy musical style, has gained widespread popularity.

He has provided songs for many artists and has also scored numerous hits as a singer-songwriter himself.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Hit Chart o Kakenukero” (“Dash Through the Hit Charts”).

It’s a track that shines with a laid-back yet emotional vibe, and overall stays within the mid to mid-high vocal range.

The smoothly rising melody in the chorus makes it easy to match pitch even for those who struggle with singing, so give it a try.

“Nineteen,” famous for the phrase “juukusai.” In this video, it’s collaborating with an orchestra.

It’s grand, and it’s a slightly dressed-up version of “juukusai.” It conveys the wavering feelings of a 19-year-old in adolescence, sung in a way that’s quintessentially Suga Shikao.

Progress (Family Sugar Version)Suga Shikao36rank/position

Shikao Suga “Progress (Family Sugar Version)”

Progress, the song that lifts your spirits when you’re stuck and about to give up.

It’s one of singer-songwriter Shikao Suga’s signature tracks.

In the rush of everyday life, do you ever suddenly wonder, “Is this really who I wanted to become?” You might feel jealous or anxious when you see former classmates thriving.

But no matter where you are now, what truly matters is the life you see when you look back.

No matter how hard things get, this is a song that makes you believe those struggles will shape your future self.

When you think you can become a more radiant version of yourself than you are now, it feels like you can get through the tough times, doesn’t it?

It’s a gem of a song, woven with warm feelings and delicate words.

Included on the album “SMILE,” released in May 2003, it showcases Shikao Suga’s musicality to the fullest.

Set to a gentle melody, it portrays the budding of a first love and the confusion that accompanies those emotions, resonating deeply with listeners.

The lyrics’ “I” is said to be awakening to same-sex love.

The cool, funk beat–driven sound and introspective lyrics fuse beautifully, reflecting Suga’s spirit of musical exploration.

It’s a recommended track for anyone struggling with love or feeling bewildered by new emotions.

Our DaysSuga Shikao40rank/position

Shikao Suga / Our Days

This clinging sensation, this languor.

It’s an early track where the meaning isn’t very clear, but it’s probably a love song.

The voice is still in its (pardon me) unsophisticated early stage.

Listening to this, you can really see how they’ve evolved and catch a glimpse of the artist’s effort.
