Wrapped in Kindness - SOTTE BOSSE -

A cover by SOTTE BOSSE, a unit formed by members of the club-jazz group i-dep.

While the bossa nova arrangement transforms it into a groove that makes you want to start dancing, it skillfully preserves the original’s beautiful melody.

It’s a superb arrangement that makes for a delightfully comfortable cover.

Yumi Matsutoya - Wrapped in Gentleness (Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara) - Solo Acoustic Performance (Rin, 9 years old)

Rin, an active high school girl.

Having only piano accompaniment gives it a different atmosphere from the original and is lovely.

From her breath control and the nuances of her singing, you can feel a certain poignancy.

Another strength of Rin’s is how she truly grasps the message of the song and conveys it in her performance.

It’s the kind of youthful high school voice you’ll want to hear at least once.

Megumi Mori – If Wrapped in Kindness (Yumi Arai)

The singing has a glossy yet powerful, distinctive voice.

They look cool singing with an acoustic guitar.

Even though it’s distinctive, there aren’t any unpleasant quirks.

I feel it brings out a flavor that isn’t in the original song.

The fact that they seem to be having fun singing makes it enjoyable for us too, which is great.

If I'm wrapped in kindness

Compared to the original sung by Yumi Arai, this cover has a slower, more relaxed tempo.

It’s perfect for unwinding when you’re tired or sleepy.

There’s also an arrangement featuring a brass section, which gives it an accessible, pop-friendly feel.

It’s a track that highlights Tsuki Miyoshida’s clear, translucent vocals.

Family photoYoshida Yamada

Family Photo / Yoshida Yamada [MUSIC VIDEO]

This song paints a warm portrait of family bonds, spun from a single photograph filled with childhood memories.

Told from a child’s perspective, each everyday scene—like the joy of a new bicycle or tear stains on a park bench—brims with memories anyone can relate to.

While it poignantly conveys the absence of the father behind the camera, it never dwells in sorrow; instead, Yoshida Yamada gently sing a world suffused with warmth.

Released in October 2024, the piece was also chosen as the theme song for RKK Kumamoto Broadcasting’s “Evening Live Getsukin!”, resonating with many through its heartwarming acoustic sound.

On nights when you come home tired from work, listening as you look through family photos will likely stir fond memories and renew your strength for tomorrow.
