Sukima Switch - When I Wake Up

A poignant track with the resonant sound of an acoustic guitar, included on the 2005 album “Kūsō Clip.” It seems like a heartbreak song about lovers who have parted, but it can also be taken as a song for a cherished person who has passed away.

Overlapping with the hollow sense of loss, it may be picturing the preciousness of life.

The simple words expressing the bare fact that “you’re gone” and the sadness that accompanies it echo with pure sorrow.

This song, in which feelings of emptiness and longing well up, invites you to listen while connecting it to your own sense of life.

The lyrics convey a creative passion to complete a work through trial and error, stirring the heart.

Immerse yourself in this piece’s world, where diverse sounds blend together, and try singing it with a music-loving friend.

Anly + Sukima Switch = “Beyond the Light That Illuminates This Darkness” Music Video (short ver.)

From the very beginning, this track makes a strong impression with the powerful vocals of Okinawan singer Anly.

Over her overwhelming singing, Sukima Switch’s vocalist Takuya Ohashi adds his warm voice to create a superb ballad.

The powerful chorus that you’ll want to belt out from your diaphragm is sure to earn big applause at karaoke if you really make it your own.

It’s definitely a song you’ll want to secretly practice and then tackle with full determination.

Pencil Eraser Sukima Switch

“Pencil Eraser,” included on Sukima Switch’s 2004 album Natsugumo Noise.

This song is one of the group’s so-called “Eraser Trilogy” and is a very cute track that sings about memories from school days.

It’s a sweet, bittersweet youth story about a boy who finally borrows an eraser from the girl sitting next to him—someone he could hardly bring himself to talk to—and then she moves away before he can return it.

Sukima Switch: Arsene’s Melancholy

This is an insert song on the album that portrays the uncoolness hidden in dramatic lyrics and the coolness of giving it your all.

The protagonist is a bit stalker-ish, but once you fall for someone, you can’t help throwing everything else out the window, right?

Starting with a distorted guitar sound, this song is incredibly catchy.

The lyrics feature a lot of rhymes, and with each listen I feel more depth in the track.

Personally, I think Sukima Switch’s appeal comes through more in rock-oriented songs like this than in their ballads.
