globeKenshi Yonezu
The theme song for The Boy and the Heron, the 2023 film by Studio Ghibli master Hayao Miyazaki, said to be his final work.
Kenshi Yonezu wrote this song specifically for the movie.
In tandem with the film’s complete secrecy, the song Spinning Globe takes on added depth, as if the piece itself were shrouded in a veil of mystery.
The lyrics are protean, open to interpretations that differ from listener to listener—about the course of a life, or about loving someone.
It’s a song I hope will endure for decades; it also seems perfect for singing at karaoke and basking in the emotion.
escapadeEVE
A richly emotional song by Eve that vividly depicts the struggles and conflicts of modern society has arrived! Released in December 2023, this work—shining with a unique worldview and expressive depth—has captured the hearts of music fans.
Eve’s characteristically delicate lyrics harmonize beautifully with the meticulous arrangement by Numa and Zingai.
The music video, crafted to match the song, is also a must-see and lets you immerse yourself even more deeply in Eve’s musical world.
It’s perfect for those times when you’re worn out by work or relationships, or when you want to face the feelings deep within your heart.
Highly recommended for karaoke, too!
