The Japanese House is a music project started by Amber Bain.

One of the tracks on their album “In The End it Always Does” is “Sunshine Baby.” This song drew attention in part because members of the rock band The 1975 took part in it.

Its lyrics are based on Amber Bain’s real experiences and depict a summer heartbreak.

However, it isn’t a somber song; the lyrics are crafted to encourage someone who’s gone through a breakup.
