Kigashira, an umbrella, and SundaySukima Suichi

Sukima Switch “Me, an Umbrella, and Sunday produced by Takao Tajima (ORIGINAL LOVE)” recording footage

It’s a heartbreak song about a man walking through the city under a clear vinyl umbrella, remembering the days he spent with the girlfriend who left him on a rainy Sunday.

The breakup words came from her, but he says the cause lies with himself—there were so many days they couldn’t meet, and he kept making her endure her loneliness.

It’s a bittersweet song.

Pencil Eraser Sukima Switch

“Pencil Eraser,” included on Sukima Switch’s 2004 album Natsugumo Noise.

This song is one of the group’s so-called “Eraser Trilogy” and is a very cute track that sings about memories from school days.

It’s a sweet, bittersweet youth story about a boy who finally borrows an eraser from the girl sitting next to him—someone he could hardly bring himself to talk to—and then she moves away before he can return it.

If you’re okay with itSukima Suichi

If you're okay with it

Kimi ga Ii nara by Sukima Switch is a song where dependence on a beloved person spirals in a frightening direction.

It’s included on their 2004 album Natsugumo Noise.

While Sukima Switch often gives a breezy impression, this track—despite its refreshing melody—has strikingly dark lyrics.

At first glance it seems like single-minded, pure love, but in fact it portrays a warped love that would commit any wrongdoing for the other person, or to fulfill one’s own desires.

It’s a song that conveys both sickness and darkness.
