Liar

This ballad by Yorushika is perfect for autumn, when the hustle and bustle of summer settles down and a certain loneliness sets in.

Delicate piano melodies intertwine with vocalist suis’s clear, translucent voice, seeping deeply into the listener’s heart.

It portrays the loneliness of a protagonist who continues to wait, even as memories of a loved one fade away.

That feeling overlaps with the bittersweetness of summer coming to an end, making it all the more moving.

This beautiful song was produced as the ending theme for the anime film A Whisker Away, released in June 2020, further deepening the story’s emotional afterglow.

On those long autumn nights when you want to reflect on seasons past, it’s a piece to savor alone, slowly and fully.

Yorushika – Please Forget (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

A delicate ballad by Yorushika that portrays a heartrending form of love in which one wishes for precious, cherished memories to be forgotten.

It gently depicts scenes and landscapes from days spent together, interwoven with beautiful imagery like loquat trees and coastal vistas.

The conflicting emotions—hoping the other person will forget and move forward, while secretly wishing not to be forgotten—are conveyed through Suis’s translucent vocals.

Released in July 2024 and written as the theme song for the drama “GO HOME: Metropolitan Police Department Unidentified Persons Consultation Office,” this piece offers quiet comfort to anyone who has experienced a farewell with someone dear.

Yorushika – Fireworks of Shoes (Music Video)

It’s a song that conjures the image of a summer dusk, where sparklers crackle and burn away in a fleeting moment.

Said to be inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s story “The Nighthawk Star,” the piece delicately portrays inexpressible emotions, inner conflict over past memories, and the wavering question of why we are here.

Suis’s crystal-clear vocals and the acoustic guitar’s arpeggios gently color its aching poignancy.

Released with a music video in April 2017 and later included in Yorushika’s mini-album “The Flaw in Summer Grass” in June of the same year, it stands as one of their emblematic early works.

When you’re weighed down by a sudden loneliness or a sorrow too deep for words, this song will quietly stay by your side.
