Taro Kawahara, active as a producer and multi-instrumentalist, leads his solo project TENDRE.
SWITCH, written as the theme song for NHK’s information program Asaichi, is a number that brings a refreshing morning vibe right from its opening choral work.
Its gentle vocals and laid-back beat seem perfect for gradually waking up a sleepy mind.

LIFETENDRE2rank/position
This is the solo project of Taro Kawahara, a multi-instrumentalist who also plays in ampel, a three-piece band that evokes the urban night—impersonal yet somehow warm.
It’s a mellow, gentle track with a subtly retro mood.
Because the lyrics are in Japanese, listening at a loud volume might draw your attention to the words.
Try enjoying it at a moderate volume; it may be better suited to times when you can relax—like while cooking or taking a bath—rather than moments that require focus, such as during work.
Make the most of your Bluetooth speaker!

In Daihatsu’s mini van Atrai commercial, “Declaration,” the focus is on enjoying the Atrai as a space for hobbies.

It’s a commercial that highlights the appeal of the new kei van, and some viewers may have found themselves glued to the screen.
