The title alone draws you in, doesn’t it? It’s a track where chic style and emotional depth intertwine.

Created by Vocaloid producer Konnichiwa Tanita-san, who also works under the name Tatsuya Kitani, it was released in 2015.

The arrangement incorporates a jazzy flavor, yet it retains the easy listenability of classic guitar rock.

The piano phrases are cool, too.

The lyrics, woven with decadent words, express a slightly twisted feeling toward “you.” That thick, humid atmosphere you get when wet asphalt is in the middle of drying—you can really feel it.

Sayuri’s powerful vocals fuse with a dreamlike, delicate melody to deeply move listeners.

Released in February 2016, this song was used as the ending theme for the TV anime “Erased.” It links beautifully with the story’s theme of “hope and shadow,” embedding the resolve to find a single ray of light within the darkness.

The determination to keep moving forward while carrying both gentleness and fragility squeezes your heart.

It’s a perfect, resonant track to recommend for a Christmas night spent with someone special.

Imagination Forestjin

This is a work by Jin, also known as Shizen no Teki-P, whose Kagerou Project series sparked widespread attention through its multimedia expansion, and it was released in 2012.

It’s a refreshing song that unfolds a boy-meets-girl story.

Just listening to it, you might not think it goes that high, but especially in the latter half of the chorus, some quite challenging high notes appear.

If you sing it at karaoke, using falsetto might be a good idea.

By the way, there are arrangement variants titled “Mousou Forest” and “Kuusou Forest,” so enjoy those together as well.
