Masterpieces and popular songs by Sukima Switch

GuaranaSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Guarana” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – GUARANA Music Video

An uptempo tune that deserves attention for how the lyrics are packed in.

The style of punching in words with good mouthfeel into fine-grained note divisions—like right from the start of the A-melody—was likely established around this point.

It also weaves in a belting section at the end of the chorus, giving it plenty of rhythmic variety.

ScarletSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Scarlet” (Short ver.)

The ending theme of “Saturday Wide Theater.” The lyrics strongly imprint the motif of a train.

The moment when the scenery, woven from a first-person perspective, is beautifully tied together at the very end even evokes a kind of catharsis.

As a single, it’s probably the most polished.

ParabolaSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Paraborava” (Short ver.)

A refreshing track whose intro leaves a strong impression with a nostalgic piano phrase.

You might expect a straightforward pop construction, but the chorus is surprisingly playful.

In the music video, they scale city walls using just their body, pulling off feats that suggest—if not downright defy—believable human ability.

It’s clear they’ve put in a tremendous amount of effort.

My NoteSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Boku Note” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – BOKU NOOTO Music Video

This was the song provided when they were selected to perform the theme for the first Doraemon theatrical film after the anime’s cast overhaul.

The track rapidly boosted their recognition among the general public.

When they appeared on TV at the time, they shared stories about their love for Doraemon, making the collaboration seem like a dream come true.

YurikaSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Eureka” (Short ver.)

TV anime Space Brothers opening theme.

While it carries a back-to-basics vibe, it features a more dynamic, emphatic arrangement.

The chorus is sung out, but it still has a great groove.

As an aside, around this time Oohashi started losing a lot of weight.

Winter WhistleSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Winter Whistle” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – FUYUNOKUCHIBUE Music Video

Both before and after it, there’s nothing quite in the same genre—its arrangement stands out with a unique, independent feel that isn’t tied to any other track, yet it carries warmth.

In contrast, the lyrics, which depict pure romantic feelings, are reliably well-crafted.

Sunny with occasional cloudsSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Sunny with Occasional Clouds” (Short ver.)

Despite the brightness of the melody, there’s a slightly cloudy feel to the lyrics’ story, which creates a very intriguing sense of dissonance.

In fact, there are two versions of the music video, and depending on whose interpretation it is, the ending is quite shocking.

It’ll make you gasp out loud.
