This was Shikao Suga’s major-label debut song.

With his unusual voice and distinctive lyrics, it was quite a sensational debut.

But it’s not like he suddenly burst onto the scene as a top artist because of it.

I think he struggled quite a bit before reaching where he is now.

It was used as the commercial song for Kanebo Cosmetics’ “T’ESTIMO” in their 22nd single.

In the music video, your eyes are drawn to bassist Ryuta Sakamoto’s groovy bass—he has long participated in live performances—and to the glamorous woman who appears.

Here is Suga Shikao—what a distinctive song.

As for the lyrics, there have been all sorts of debates about what they mean…

According to one theory, it was modeled after a certain incident.

This song is enigmatic and a bit thrilling; it might be interesting to ponder its meaning.

It’s a song whose beautiful modulation lingers in the ear, reminding me of “Progress,” which became famous on NHK.

The lyrics are quintessentially his—gentleness mixed with a touch of poison—still very much intact.

It’s an excellent track that conjures images of late summer.

Please give it a listen, by all means.

This is the theme song for TV Asahi’s “87th National High School Baseball Championship.” Rather than a typical high school baseball theme, it opens with a slightly dark, drama-like mood, then unfolds into a development that evokes a refreshing summer.

It’s a superb track that offers a bit of relief.

An early Suga Shikao–style song with a bit of a poisonous edge.

It has a slightly eerie vibe.

Lyrics that start with “Hey,” are right in Suga Shikao’s wheelhouse, aren’t they? That “Hey,” sets the rhythm and also shapes the world of this song.

Enjoy the funky atmosphere.

It’s the theme song for the film Sweet Little Lies.

It has a pleasantly moderate shuffle feel, yet it’s also a wistful, mellow medium ballad.

It’s got a familiar vibe that makes you want to hum along, and the natural flow of the song is really nice.
