Hanaregumi Family Landscape

A relaxed acoustic number that makes you feel that the ordinary time spent with family is exactly what “happiness” is.

It’s a song by Hanaregumi, the solo project of musician Takashi Nagazumi, released as a single in 2002.

Precisely because of the unadorned vocals and simple arrangement, each word in the lyrics seems to soak deep into your heart.

When daily life leaves you irritated or anxious, listening to this will surely help you.

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.
