Sukima Switch – “Kanade” Music Video : SUKIMASWITCH / KANADE Music Video

Released in 2004, this second single is an indispensable classic ballad when talking about Sukima Switch.

It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as a TV drama theme, and in 2006 it was also chosen as the ending theme for the final day of “Nettou Koshien.” The lyrics, depicting a moment of parting, convey the protagonist’s aching attempt to send their feelings to the one who is leaving, along with a wish to remain connected in their hearts.

When you reach a turning point in life—graduation, a job change, and so on—listening to this song will bring back memories from that time, and the tears will naturally start to flow.

With its gentle tempo and piano tones that soak into the heart, it’s a profoundly moving track.

Sukima Switch – “Ice Cream Syndrome” (Short ver.)

The lyrics of Sukima Switch’s “Ice Cream Syndrome,” which sing about two people whose distance never seems to shrink, are heartbreaking.

Released as a single in 2010, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Pokémon the Movie: Diamond & Pearl—Zoroark: Master of Illusions,” and reached No.

6 on the Oricon singles chart.

The title evokes the scene of ice cream melting while you hesitate and fail to confess your feelings—so fitting for summer, isn’t it? It also ranked seventh in a 2012 fan vote, so be sure to give it a listen!

“Marine Snow” is Sukima Switch’s 10th single, released in 2007.

It was featured in a commercial for Meiji Seika’s Almond Chocolate and reached No.

3 on the Oricon Singles Chart.

The title comes from the phenomenon where plankton and other particles sinking to the seafloor look like falling snow.

Although the song is about a breakup, it has a very dreamy and romantic feel.

It’s also a great recommendation if you’re experiencing unrequited love.

Sukima Switch / Kirei da from TOUR 2012 “musium”

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.
