A song where you want to focus on the percussion, yet the rhythm of the chorus is equally outstanding.

It’s so simple you’ll want to imitate it and sing along.

In the music video, he makes a rare appearance in a dress shirt and tie.

He did show that look once more after this, but that was for a cameo in a drama, so practically speaking this is the only place you can really see it.

A song with lyrics focused on the act of making a song, featuring a grand arrangement that builds momentum as it progresses into the latter half.

Sukima Switch – “Won’t You Come for a Drink?” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – NOMINIKONAIKA Music Video

A track from Sukima Switch’s second major album.

The vocals are a tone higher than they are now, and the song’s style leans much more toward light pop, which sets it apart from the current Sukima Switch.

You can feel a different groove.

It’s also notable that a young Kei Tanaka appears in the music video.

Last sceneSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Last Scene” (Short ver.)

Their first theme song for a live-action film.

For Sukima Switch, the chorus melody is unusually intricate.

Although it’s a tie-in, the structure is designed to showcase the entire composition rather than focusing solely on vocals, making it a track that changes the way you listen to Sukima Switch.

Vessel of the StarsSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Star Vessel” (Short ver.)

Theme song of THE LAST -NARUTO THE MOVIE-.

In the theatrical trailers only the chorus is played, but it’s a very wide-ranging song with a markedly different feel between the intro, verse (A-melo), pre-chorus (B-melo), and chorus.

The strings leading into the chorus are among the finest string arrangements in all of Sukima Switch’s past songs.
