Isei-jin (NHK Taiga Drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky” Inspired Song) / Vaundy: MUSIC VIDEO

Released for streaming in October 2025, this track was originally written as an inspired song for the 2021 NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky,” and, after about four years, has finally been officially recorded and released.

Venus beltaimyon

Aimyon – Venus Belt [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

A love song where fragility and heartache intertwine, inspired by the “Belt of Venus,” a pale pink band of light that appears opposite the sun just before sunrise and just after sunset.

Sung in a gentle, conversational tone, it evokes past encounters, lingering traces of memory, and asks, “Why are you returning now?” The lyrics’ world, which uses the beauty of natural phenomena as metaphor, shines with Aimyon’s uniquely delicate sensibility.

It’s a track we especially recommend to those who have experienced a breakup or who find themselves remembering someone while gazing at the twilight sky.
