You came to this city to chase your dreams, yet sometimes you suddenly feel alone.
When you listen then, it tightens your chest with a faint, nostalgic ache.

An Attempted Double Suicide on the Tokyo Outer Ring RoadPK shampoo

It’s a song that reveals a fragile beauty glimmering within futility—so different from the glittering image of Tokyo.
This track appears on PK shampoo’s album “PK shampoo.log,” released in June 2025 by the rock band from Osaka.
Even among the masterpieces that document the band’s journey, it stands out as a richly expressive ballad showcasing vocalist Yamato Punks’s distinctive artistry.

Tokyo Rainy BlueMiki Yukari
In Tokyo, where a cold rain starts to fall despite the forecast, I catch sight of a former lover who looks happy.
Beginning with this painful scene is an enka number sung by Yukari Miki.
