Among the tracks on the concept album “Adapt,” this is a hidden gem that conveys the warmth of everyday life.

Featured on the album released in March 2022, it may not have had any major tie-ins, but the groove born from the band’s sessions feels incredibly comfortable.

As vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi mentioned on the radio, calling it “the song of the Noborito house,” it carries an intimate atmosphere—less like a vast stadium and more like relaxing at home.

It paints everyday scenes, like spending time with a cocktail in hand, and its lyrics, which quietly recount loneliness and solitude, sink deep into the heart.

Flashy dance numbers have their charm, but this is a perfect song to listen to alone on a quiet night with a drink.

Immerse yourself in the profound world of Sakanaction.
