Orinoco FlowEnya

This is “Orinoco Flow” by the hit artist Enya.

With this soothing chorus, you can adjust the reverb-like resonance yourself, and not only the beautiful melody but also your mind and body will be enveloped in a dreamy sound.

It might be perfect to listen to on a quiet night.

Many of the songs used in Ghibli anime are soothing and comforting.

If those pieces were performed with the beautiful tones of a piano, I have a feeling they would become even more deeply relaxing.

If I listened to this every night as I fell asleep, I’d probably experience the phenomenon of not remembering anything after the third track.

You, too, should try incorporating music into your daily life to refresh yourself.

Chill OutThe KLF

Chill Out (Complete Mix) – The KLF
Chill OutThe KLF

The KLF’s soothing album, aptly titled “Chill Out.” It’s a strangely atmospheric record that, from start to finish, makes you feel as if you’re on a distant trip abroad.

“Chill-out” refers to music popular in Europe for relaxing at a slow pace.

The sheep on the cover also makes it feel sleep-friendly, which is nice.

This is the “Masterpiece J-POP Music Box Medley.” It’s a collection where many familiar J-POP classics can be enjoyed as soothing music box pieces—twice the delight in one.

Music boxes are said to contain ultrasonic frequencies above 20 kHz that humans can’t perceive as sound, and these are believed to have calming effects such as promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and boosting immunity.

Deep Forest successfully fused ethnic music and its vocal tones with European chillout and ambient.

Nostalgic tribal resonances, flutes, gentle beats, and an ethnic vibe.

Perfect for relaxing at bedtime.

Brahms’ Lullaby [Music Box]Yohanesu Buraamusu

This is a music box version of Brahms’ Lullaby for babies.

The background sound of crickets chirping gives it a nighttime feel and is calming.

It might be worth trying when a little baby is crying at night and can’t sleep.

As you listen, you’ll surely start to get drowsy.

When a baby has trouble falling asleep, it’s really tough for parents.

At times like that, having music that helps them drift off would make such a difference.

This is “Anpanman Music Box: Puts Your Baby to Sleep in 5 Minutes.” Maybe the high frequencies of the music box affect the human body.

There’s also a subtle sound in the background that’s like a flowing river.
