somniaarne

Arne is a male-female twin-vocal band from Gifu whose dream- and night-themed sound stirs the heart.

Formed in 2019, they craft a unique sonic world with irregular rhythms and dynamic developments.

To mark their 5th anniversary, they released the mini-album “In your somnia” in March 2024.

Across every track—including the lead song “somnia”—they capture the transparent atmosphere of the night and swirling emotions.

The music video for “orchard” was filmed at the Hikari Museum in Takayama, Gifu—vocal-guitarist Hirame’s hometown—highlighting the band members’ roots.

At their first-ever one-man show on March 22, 2024, held at Tsukimiru Kimowo Omou in Aoyama, Tokyo, they performed every track from the album.

Arne continues to push the boundaries of rock and forge new sounds—don’t take your eyes off them.

Hold on a second with that dress.back number

“Wait a Second, That Dress,” included on the first album At no Matsuri (Aftermath).

The lyrics, which depict the complexities of a man’s heart so vividly that you can imagine the story from the title alone, are likely to resonate with many men.

The upbeat rhythm feels comfortable for karaoke and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to fall behind since the melody moves a bit quickly.

It’s a pop tune that blends bittersweet yet somewhat comical lyrics with a friendly melody, and will likely be a hit—especially at karaoke sessions with an all-male crowd.

Empty Eyesbird

Bird is a cool singer with vocals that reflect influences from a wide range of music, including jazz and R&B.

Her artist name comes from her sleek voice and the fact that she originally had an Afro—like a bird’s nest.

Speaking of Afros, they’re practically synonymous with funk! So from the look alone it was clear she was a funk artist, and among bird’s songs, “Sora no Hitomi” is an especially funky track where her vocals are razor-sharp.

You’ve probably been seeing the name “eijun” a lot lately—that’s the solo moniker used by THE BACK HORN’s guitarist, Eijun Suganami, when he works as a lyricist, composer, and arranger.

The song he created in collaboration with singer-songwriter Miyuhan, “Sotsugyoushiki no Hi, Kokurimasu” (I’ll Confess on Graduation Day), is another great one.

It portrays a girl who decides to confess her feelings on graduation day; her heart sways wildly as she plans how to confess, spinning out all kinds of fantasies… That chaotic, rom-com-like lyricism is somehow achingly bittersweet.

If you’re looking for a boost of courage for your unrequited love, definitely give it a listen!
