Right from the start, you get words that make your heart race.

Suga Shikao / River of Light

Released on October 27, 2004, this track perfectly matches the feeling of autumn fading into winter.

It’s steeped in Suga Shikao’s signature nostalgic atmosphere—utterly enchanting.

The image of a line of car headlights likened to a “river of light” gives it a touch of romance.

It also seems to reflect the emotions of someone still caught up in a past love, which many men might especially relate to.

It’s truly remarkable how such ordinary, everyday scenes can be portrayed so beautifully.

Shikao Suga Summer Festival

There are probably more people than you’d expect who’ve been lazing their way through summer vacation and didn’t even realize there was a summer festival today.

The perfect festival song for folks like that is Shikao Suga’s “Natsu Matsuri.” It’s included on the 1999 single “Amai Kajitsu.” The lyrics depict waking up in the early evening just as the real festivities are about to start, and simply watching the lively festival outside from inside the house.

It’s a track that captures a languid summer moment—feeling like you kind of want to go, but also don’t really care either way.
