This is Atarayo’s heartfelt song that portrays the loss and growth of youth through the presence of “wind,” which connects past and present.

Released in June 2024, it features a nostalgic, piano-centered sound and delicately expresses the conflicts and loneliness that come with growing up, centered on a dialogue with one’s younger self.

Included as the lead track on the album “Asatsuyu wa Komorebi ni Tokete,” it was also unveiled as a surprise at the final show at Veats Shibuya.

As the changing cityscape mirrors shifting emotions, the process of letting go of past promises and expectations will resonate deeply with those who look back on their youth or are standing at a turning point in life.

It’s recommended for moments when you want to savor a bittersweet feeling that passes through the heart like a gentle early-summer breeze.

This is a liberating song that rides the refreshing summer breeze and dives into a free-spirited journey with friends.

The wind-themed lyrics describe the pleasure of being freed from the noise of everyday life by surrendering to the flow without setting a destination.

With casual conversations and laughter among friends as the background, the joy of cherishing the present moment is powerfully conveyed through the melody.

Included as the coupling track to the single “Koisuru Hikari,” released in August 2024, it also ties into the world of the film “Koi wo Shiranai Bokutachi wa,” starring Ryusei Onishi.

It’s the perfect song for times when you want to fully embrace freedom while feeling the wind—like on a summer drive or a trip with friends.

Yukopi – Strong Wind Slicked-back Hair (feat. Kaai Yuki)

“Strong Wind Slicked-back (feat.

Kaai Yuki),” which is blowing up on YouTube and Niconico, is a must-listen.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Yukopi, and it’s also known for being featured in a Cup Noodles commercial.

The song depicts hair getting slicked straight back by powerful wind and the struggle to move forward despite making no progress at all.

That alone is unique, but the sampled recorder sounds in the melody also add to the fun atmosphere.

a word on the windtayori

tayori – Tidings on the Wind (Official Video)

This is a beautifully bittersweet song that entrusts its feelings for days gone by to the wind, painting them as they drift through memory.

With poetic imagery—the traces of spring revived alongside flowers swaying in the breeze at the window, and a bookmark tucked into a half-read book symbolizing an unfinished dream—it delicately sings of memories with a loved one that never fade, continuing to radiate warmth deep within the heart.

Released in July 2023, it was later included on the January album “memento.” It’s a track I especially recommend to those standing at a turning point in life, or to anyone quietly holding thoughts of someone dear.

Windmill / Bocchi Boromaru (Music Video)

A gem of a track that beautifully fuses a Japanese-style dance groove with modern production, using a windmill as a metaphor to express the flow of time and shifting emotions.

The protagonist’s state of mind, as depicted by Bocchi Boromaru, blends impatience toward time slipping away with frustration at their own weakness, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in August 2024 as the coupling track to the single “Kamakura STYLE,” it also serves as the ending theme for the TV anime “The Elusive Samurai.” Wrapped in a contemporary arrangement that conveys the feelings of people surviving in turbulent times, this song is one you’ll want to hear if you’re at a turning point in life or striving to face your own vulnerabilities.
