Tomei – Discord-disco [Official Music Video]

A sophisticated track where a subtly ominous, bewitching melody dances atop glittering disco sounds.

It’s a work by singer-songwriter Tomei, who drew attention after being chosen as the lead vocalist for the theme song of the film Suzume.

The song seems to explore feelings of alienation and the unbridgeable distance from others, running counter to the euphoria of a glamorous scene.

The whispery, languid vocals, paired with a cool groove, create a delicious sense of dissonance.

Released in October 2023, the piece is also known for being produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda, following Tomei’s debut single.

A gem of dark pop that fits both solitary nights of musical immersion and moments when you want to set a slightly more sophisticated mood.

I'd rather die.Fujii Kaze

Fujii Kaze – Shinunoga E-Wa (Not a MV)

There’s a dark, somewhat decadent atmosphere drifting through it.

While Fujii Kaze is often associated with a refined R&B image, this work takes a turn, passionately singing of an ultimate love that would choose death over losing the beloved.

A funky R&B tune by iri, whose smooth groove evokes a midsummer night’s breeze.

The song gently portrays the way a heart that’s closed off and rigid gradually changes shape with time, eventually fitting with someone again.

Its poetic lyrics, hinting at feelings that won’t fully melt and the shifting forms of love, seem to quietly cradle both the hope and the heartache of romance.
