The Same Story – Humbert Humbert

Warm yet bittersweet… it’s the kind of piece that brings tears to your eyes.

It’s a song by the husband-and-wife duo Humbert Humbert, released in 2005 as their fourth single.

The nostalgic tone and the gentle sound of the acoustic guitar are striking, and the interwoven voices of the two singers are truly soothing.

However, the world of the lyrics seems to portray an exchange with a loved one whom one can no longer meet.

I think it helps you rediscover the happiness of “having someone by your side right now.”

Chihiro Onitsuka – Dizziness

One of Chihiro Onitsuka’s signature songs, “Dizziness,” is marked by her gently warm, enveloping vocals.

It was released in 2001 as a double A-side single together with “edge.” The lyrics sing of a powerful love: though the singer was once afraid of romance, she comes to care so deeply that it makes her dizzy.

Onitsuka’s tender, tranquil voice soothes the listener, as if warmly embracing both the person she fell for and even herself for having fallen in love.

[Official] KIRINJI “Aliens” (MV) [4K Remaster] KIRINJI / Aliens (6th Single)

It’s a captivating song that pairs an urban melody resonating like it nestles into the stillness of night with poetic depictions of suburban scenery.

Using the word “alien” to express a sense of social alienation, it delicately weaves the pure love of two lonely people.

Released as a single by Kirinji in October 2000 and later included on the album “3,” the song was featured in a LINE Mobile commercial in 2017 and as an insert song in an NHK BS Premium drama in 2018, winning the hearts of many.

It’s a track that lingers—one that accompanies late-night drives or unhurried moments in a bar lounge, soaking into the hearts of adults.

Iwao Furusawa “Mr. Lonely 2020” — JET STREAM Theme Song

A masterful performance woven from deep resonance and graceful melody—Takashi Furusawa’s violin resounds in the heart.

This piece has been used as the opening theme of the long-running program “JET STREAM” since April 2017, and its collaboration with the Berlin Philharmonic Virtuosi has produced a sound of refined elegance.

Included on the album “Violon d’amour,” it draws out a new allure in the fusion of classical and pop.

Beloved as a symbol of a radio show that delivers dreamlike moments to late-night listeners, it is the perfect track for a calm evening or a quiet moment of reflection.

With delicate tone colors and rich expressiveness, it is recommended as soothing background music that gently accompanies the heart.
