The Rainbow From That Day and Our AnthemSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch “The Rainbow of That Day and Our Anthem” Official Audio

Sukima Switch’s harmonies are basically the “lower harmony” in my mind.

The upper harmony is easy to grasp, but isn’t the lower harmony kind of hard to find by ear? Still, their two voices balance so well—I love it, and it always makes me want to harmonize! Especially in this song, the lower harmony right after the final chorus line of the hook feels amazing when it locks in, so that’s my top recommendation.

I think it’s fine to sing with about the same volume as Ohashi! The key with lower harmony is to support firmly without sticking out more than the lead vocal, so it might be tough to pitch at first, but do your best not to get pulled toward the main melody!

MetronautsSukima Suichi

Satomi Ishihara beams, saying “Long time no see!” Delighted as “Find my Tokyo.” resumes after two years — Tokyo Metro’s new commercial: “Find my Tokyo. Long Time No See!”

This commercial conveys the unique character of each Tokyo Metro station through scenes of Satomi Ishihara’s experiences.

By naming the stations and depicting what she does there—along with her radiant smiles—you can feel how much joy is packed into Tokyo.

The song that further highlights the warm atmosphere of each station and neighborhood is Sukima Switch’s “Metronauts.” Its acoustic sound paired with gentle vocals creates a calm, soothing mood that is the song’s charm.

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

Released in 2006 as Sukima Switch’s eighth single, this song became their first to reach number one on the Oricon Singles Chart.

It’s a positive track that encourages taking action to express your feelings rather than staying in one-sided love.

It’s the kind of song that gives you energy and courage to listen to before confessing your feelings.

And yet, a beloved lifeSukima Suichi

Sukima Switch – “Nevertheless, Beloved Life” Music Video: SUKIMASWITCH – Saredo Itoshiki Jinsei Music Video

Even when we go through painful or sad times, life is still wonderful, isn’t it? That’s the message woven into “Saredo Itoshiki Jinsei” (“And Yet, Beloved Life”).

It’s a track included on the music duo Sukima Switch’s album Hot Milk.

The lyrics don’t forcefully push you forward; instead, they gently stay by your side, offering comfort.

The song also drew attention for its music video featuring Tokio Emoto.

It tells the story of a salaryman living each day to the fullest, and it really hits home.

Kotoba-Rhythm

Kotobarhythm is the result of a collaboration between TV Tokyo’s Shimajiro no Wao! and Sukima Switch.

Released as a digital single in September 2023, it even inspired commemorative merchandise.

Centered on the power of words, the song emphasizes how important it is to clearly put your feelings into words and share them.

Its buoyant, shuffle-driven groove will lift your spirits as you listen.

Give Kotobarhythm a spin, and try expressing your feelings to someone important to you in your own words!

Spider (cover from Sukima Switch)

It wasn’t a slow-tempo ballad or a high-tempo rock song—Sukima Switch covered a song called “Spider” that has a unique atmosphere.

I feel like their slightly idiosyncratic vocal style blends well with the song’s distinctive world.

Which do you prefer, the original or this cover?
