Before our feelings overlap…Hirai Ken
This is a gentle ballad by Ken Hirai, featuring a tender, conversational singing style that leaves a strong impression.
It was produced as the theme for Toyota’s “Corolla Fielder” commercial and was also used as the main theme for the drama “Tsumiki Kuzushi Shinsō: Ano Kazoku Sono Ato no Higeki” (The True Story of Tsumiki Kuzushi: The Tragedy That Befell the Family Thereafter).
The acoustic sound that soothes the heart and the gradually added strings are moving.
The lyrics, like a letter written by one’s past self to one’s future self, are also appealing, conveying a gentle image of calmly facing oneself.
Slow & EasyHirai Dai
Singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, whose warm vocals gently embrace listeners.
The title track of his 2015 release “Slow & Easy” was featured as the theme song for Sumitomo Forestry’s “Sakimachi Arai-Minami Sustina Town” commercial.
His cheerful flow and ukulele playing evoke a Hawaiian vibe.
Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics laid over the simple beat.
Let the tropical sound soothe you and enjoy a laid-back holiday.

This song draws you in with its dreamlike sound.
It’s included on their third album, “Bremen,” released in 2015.
The lyrics sing of lovers whose feelings have grown apart.
Yet it’s not just bittersweet—it’s a track that also leaves you with a warm feeling.
Seed of JoyYU-KI
Speaking of female vocalists I personally love, it’s YUKI.
This song is one of her laid-back solo tracks.
It feels like it fulfilled my wish to enjoy YUKI’s vocals in a calm, mellow mood.
I feel that the closer a song is to a cappella, the more you can savor the character of the vocalist.
sound of a babbling brook
Along with forest therapy, there are high expectations for the healing effects of nature, and this murmuring stream sound may be one of the wonderful sounds that modern Japanese people have lost.
It has the pleasant natural rhythm known as 1/f fluctuation and is said to bring a relaxing effect to the body.
Solfeggio 528 Hz
Do you know about the 528 Hz Solfeggio frequency? In recent years, research on “sound” has advanced, and there’s a movement encouraging people to listen to frequencies that feel pleasant to the human brain to help repair the body.
Among these, the 528 Hz frequency is said to repair DNA.
If you meditate while listening to it, it might even help slow aging.
Enter deep sleep mode with drowsy music and a beautiful night view
This one is also an audio track of nearly an hour.
How is it? Are you getting sleepy? In any case, I hope it can help those with insomnia.
It’s crafted in a classic “screen music” style.
Music that calms the mind and lulls you to sleep is appreciated, and it seems like it will be useful on sleepless nights in the future.
