Sinful lovekonnan
I can’t help but get absorbed in the lo-fi sound and whispery vocals.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Sona Onna, released in 2023.
It was entered in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle Spring 2023.
The string tones, where a sense of floating and tension intertwine, are striking.
It also feels as if the song is gently dripping, drop by drop, from the singer’s lips.
The melancholic mood that pervades the entire piece is, strangely, comforting.
And the lyrics—so precarious they seem one misstep away from going off the rails—are another thing I love.
Tsunagi Onsen Songyuuzenn & pī chikupā chiku
This is a hot spring located on the shore of Lake Gosho, a dam lake in Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture.
It was created by local singer-songwriter Tomoyoshi Taguchi, and local ladies (?) joyfully sing to introduce the hot spring.
The lyrics explain all the history and highlights, stirring up your wanderlust.
Cold KissYoshioka Shinobu
Shinobu Yoshioka, the vocalist of COSA NOSTRA, is a singer from Aomori Prefecture.
She continues to create classic tracks with a cool sound in COSA NOSTRA to this day.
She also performed in a special commercial-only unit for Morinaga’s ICE BOX.
ICE BOX was a four-vocalist unit featuring Satoshi Ikeda, Keizo Nakanishi, and Hiromasa Ijichi.
For those who spent their youth in the ’90s, this lineup is a nostalgic one.
TSUGARUYoshi Ikuzo
A rap number by enka singer Yoshikazu Mera (Yoshi Ikuzo) performed in the Tsugaru dialect of his home prefecture, Aomori! Just listening to it, you can hardly tell what he’s saying, and it’s incredibly addictive.
Since it’s tough for people from other regions to imitate, those from Aomori should take the lead and sing it! And if there’s no one from Aomori around, brave challengers are welcome to give it a try!
Tsugaru PlainYoshi Ikuzo
Masao Sen’s single Tsugaru Plains, written and composed by Ikuzo Yoshi, is a song that resonates with the heart.
In this self-cover version, the theme centers on the strength of the people who endure the harsh winters of Tsugaru and the warmth of family bonds.
It expresses deep love for one’s family and nostalgia for one’s hometown, delivering a profound emotional impact.
As you await the arrival of spring, it offers an opportunity to renew your thoughts of home and family.
It’s also recommended for spending a leisurely time while reflecting on the experiences and memories cultivated over many years of life.
Ikuzo Yoshi’s warm vocals are sure to bring fresh hope with the coming of spring.
