I ended up looking at my phone.Otoboke Beaver
Otoboke Beaver is a punk rock band from Osaka.
Formed in 2009 through a Ritsumeikan University music club, they boast a wide musical range—from a distinctive, almost deranged vibe to catchy, pop-leaning songs.
They’ve played festivals in Japan and abroad, and thanks to their especially strong overseas reception, they’re even referred to as a “reimported band.” In 2011, they released a self-produced demo EP and have continued to work energetically since.
Their songs, crafted through tight teamwork among the members, are uniquely theirs.
With their distinctive sound and live performances, they captivate music fans looking for fresh challenges.

The Curse That Won’t FadeJoe Hisaishi
This is a very quiet, very short track.
It’s a simple soundscape made up almost entirely of short notes, but midway through, a piano descends the scale like steps, oozing with eeriness.
The music doesn’t say much, which all the more underscores the gravity of the “curse that won’t fade.” Wondering what kind of curse that is? Watch the film and see for yourself.
The Vanished Augustchoral piece
This song is a well-known choral piece themed around the Hiroshima atomic bombing.
I assume those reading this article are from generations without firsthand experience of war, but you’ve likely studied it.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who died in the bombing.
It speaks of a beloved summer, and yet in that very summer, one’s life, future—everything—was taken away.
Even without having experienced war, it’s a sorrowful song that tightens the chest when you listen to it.
It engraves the sadness and terror of war into our minds and reminds us of the need to build a world where no one’s life or future is unjustly taken.
It’s a masterpiece that makes us feel that anew.
Kick it!Hikaru Utada

A sudden shower in KyotoRumiko Koyanagi
This is the fifth single by Rumiko Koyanagi, who is also a veteran actress.
It’s a cover of a song by Yo Piko, released in 1972, and is known as one of the songs associated with Kyoto.

Each lyric paints a picture of the beautifully rain-drenched old capital.
