This track is striking for its warm sound infused with neo-soul and jazz elements, and the soothing atmosphere created by yama’s gentle vocals.

Featured on the album “; semicolon,” it was produced by music creator Nio, with an arrangement centered on live instrumentation.

Released in March 2025, it also comes with a visual work incorporating sounds of nature.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to during the rainy season, watching the quiet, steady rainfall.

Beloved as the ending theme for the second cour of the TV anime SPY×FAMILY, which began airing in October 2022, the song is also included on the album awake&build.

Yama is an unconventional musician known for blue hair and a signature mask, keeping their identity private.

Their singing voice pairs a soft tone with a striking presence, leaving a lasting impression, and their vocal prowess is recognized both in and outside Japan.

Yama’s 2024 release “Nisegao” is a standout track: over a cool, Y2K-tinged production crafted by Matt Cab, Yama’s expressive vocals and melody really shine.

The overall pitch is quite high, so if that’s challenging, consider lowering the key and aim to sing in a way that stays close to the original without sounding flat or monotone.

This is the 10th digital single by singer yama, who is also active as a member of the rock band BIN and has gained attention for their androgynous vocals.

The song was featured in the TV drama Night Doctor, which became a hot topic for its “original number” approach of using songs by five different artists in each episode.

You’ll be drawn into the world woven by the crystalline vocals and ensemble.

The melody is complex, making it challenging, but if you can pull it off, you’ll definitely be the star at karaoke.

It’s a dreamy ballad with a soothing quality that makes you want to keep listening.
