You won’t see me comingJean-Jacques Burnel
Did you know that the ending theme of Gankutsuou—the TV anime based on Alexandre Dumas père’s The Count of Monte Cristo and reinterpreted by GONZO—was actually performed by Jean-Jacques Burnel, the bassist of the legendary British punk band The Stranglers? Given that Jean is an avid reader of Yukio Mishima and a black belt in karate, making him well-versed in Japanese culture, this collaboration is especially fascinating.
True to a bassist’s sensibilities, the track is seriously cool, blending punk and alternative rock with a prominently heavy bass line.

you were good to meJeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler
From the fact that the title is in the past tense, you can already sense the end of a relationship.
It’s a song released in 2019 by rising talent Jeremy Zucker from New Jersey, USA.
The track features guest vocals from Chelsea Cutler, the female singer known for her work on a Kygo track, and the interplay and harmonies between the two are truly beautiful.
Jeremy is an artist who blends electronic and acoustic elements, but this time he captivates with an organic, piano-centered sound kept to a minimum number of layers.
The lyrics depict what is likely a relationship between lovers that has come to an end; even as they try to look forward, the bittersweet inner landscapes they each carry are portrayed with a poignant, melancholic atmosphere.
YouJesse Powell
Jesse Powell is an American R&B singer who has been active since the 1990s, known for his masterful command of a wide vocal range.
Among his songs, the one I want you to listen to on Tanabata is “YOU,” released in 1999.
Built around a piano, it has a classical sound that resonates deeply alongside his emotional vocals.
It’s a soulful ballad filled with a pure desire—wanting the one you love to stay by your side.
Listen to it while gazing at the night sky and thinking of the person you love.

The ’90s were a time when female vocalists were especially distinctive in their own ways.
This is “You Were Meant for Me” by Jewel, a singer-songwriter from the United States.
It’s included on the album “Pieces of You.” The way she sometimes murmurs the lyrics gives the song an added sense of realism.
It’s definitely a track you’ll want to listen to after a breakup!

Joe Esposito is a soft rock singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the 1970s.
His brand of soft rock is packed with elements of soul, giving it a more energetic vibe than typical soft rock.
