Private room / Riu Domura

This is a song by Riu Domura that depicts a calm moment spent late at night, just the two of you in a room.

You can picture scenes from a blissful cohabiting life: walking hand in hand to the convenience store, or snuggling together under the covers in an air-conditioned room.

The faint touch of melancholy drifting through the gentle atmosphere makes the intimacy stand out even more—it tightens your chest before you know it.

This piece is included in the album “Kono Kioku o Nukereba” (If I Could Slip Out of This Memory), released in October 2019.

If you’re living with someone dear to you right now, it might help you rediscover the tenderness right by your side.
