Masterpieces and popular songs by the HIATUS

Ghost In The Rainthe HIATUS

Ghost In The Rain / the HIATUS

This is a track included on the 1st album, “Trash We’d Love.” The song is about a “shut-in crushed by despair,” and its content is meant to give hope to “him.” Whenever I listen to the HIATUS, I often think that the person who serves as the motif for their songs might, perhaps, be Takeshi Hosomi himself.

Shimmerthe HIATUS

[Tried Performing] Shimmer (Acoustic Ver.) / the HIATUS

This is a song included on the HIATUS’s 3rd album, “A World Of Pandemonium.” It has a calm melody with beautiful piano tones.

The lyrics are also very beautiful, as if to match the lovely melody, and it gave me the impression of not forgetting something that sparkles.

“Shimmer” also means to shine faintly, so I think it’s a perfect title.

Walking Like A Manthe HIATUS

Walking Like A Man / the HIATUS

This is one of the tracks included on the second album, “ANORMALY.” The lyric “I’m walking like a man” — meaning “I’m walking like an ordinary person” — also sounds to me like a declaration of not wanting to become that way.

Silver Birchthe HIATUS

Silver　Birch　/　the　HIATUS　Cover

This is a track included on the 1st album, “Trash We’d Love.” As expected, the gentle vocals are wonderful.

I think this song is full of hope.

Isn’t it a song that can make you feel positive and aim even higher instead of settling for the status quo?

Superblockthe HIATUS

the HIATUS – Superblock（Music Video）

This is a track included on the 3rd album, “A World Of Pandemonium.” The pop-style music video is adorable! The song itself is really cool, and it’s a standout that showcases Takeshi Hosomi of the HIATUS in a way you couldn’t hear during his ELLEGARDEN days.

Bittersweet / Hatching Mayfliesthe HIATUS

the HIATUS – Bittersweet / Hatching Mayflies（Music Video）

the HIATUS’s 2nd EP “Hatching Mayflies” features an MV that feels like a scene from a novel, and it pairs beautifully with the clear high-pitched vocals, making it all the more captivating.

I’ve heard that “Hatching Mayflies” means “mayflies hatching,” and this track expresses a sense of ephemerality.

Horse Ridingthe HIATUS

the HIATUS – Horse Riding [with Japanese subtitles] (Music Video)

This is a track included on the HIATUS’s 3rd EP, “Horse Riding EP.” Acoustic guitar is used throughout the song, and my first impression is that it’s an extremely beautiful and delicate piece.

The surge in sound pressure when moving from the A verse into the chorus is another element that colors the track, making it a comfortable song with a clear contrast between motion and stillness.
