Milky WayEarth, Wind & Fire
Isn’t this one of the signature numbers by the American funk-soul group, colored by a cosmic soundscape and a mystical atmosphere? Included on the album Electric Universe, released in November 1983, this track marks Earth, Wind & Fire’s ambitious shift from their traditional funk and soul toward boldly incorporating elements of new wave and synth-pop.
The sound woven from Philip Bailey’s beautiful falsetto vocals and the dreamlike, synthesizer-driven arrangement creates a truly grand sense of scale reminiscent of the Milky Way.
Its length of about 5 minutes and 23 seconds gives listeners ample time to be transported into outer space.
Listening to it under the starry sky on Tanabata night might even set your thoughts drifting to the story of Orihime and Hikoboshi.
Meeting of the SpiritsMahavishnu Orchestra
The Mahavishnu Orchestra is a jazz fusion band formed in New York in 1971 by British guitarist John McLaughlin.
It’s a virtuoso outfit that brought together top-tier players like Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, and Rick Laird.
Their debut album, The Inner Mounting Flame, was released in November 1971.
Its innovative sound—seamlessly blending jazz, rock, and Indian classical music—and its intensely energetic performances are just incredibly cool.
MaiyshaMiles Davis
Miles Davis, a giant who continues to transcend the bounds of jazz and profoundly influence the global music scene.
Released in 1974, just before he entered a roughly four-year hiatus starting in 1975, Get Up with It is a sprawling double album that can be considered the culmination of his electric period.
Centered around previously unreleased recordings made between 1970 and 1974, it unfolds an experimental sound where African rhythms merge with fusion, highlighted by the elegy He Loved Him Madly, a tribute to Duke Ellington.
It’s a bold, innovative problem child of a record—one that’s best approached after you’ve spent some time with Miles’s music.
Milky WayNeil Young & Crazy Horse
As the title, which means the Milky Way, suggests, this is a majestic six-minute ballad imbued with cosmic stillness and beauty.
Released in August as the lead single from the album Colorado, which Neil Young from Canada and Crazy Horse put out in October 2019, the track drew major attention as their first reunion work in seven years.
Recorded at the “Studio in the Clouds” in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the song features an ethereal guitar solo that seems to echo beneath the starry sky, and poetic lyrics themed around the passage of time and love that resonate deeply.
Listen to it while gazing up at the Milky Way on Tanabata night, and it will overlap with the tale of Orihime and Hikoboshi, making it all the more romantic.
Milky WaySyd Barrett
Speaking of Syd Barrett from Cambridge, England, he’s known as a founding member of the legendary band Pink Floyd, but the body of work he left during his solo career after departing the band in 1968 is not to be overlooked.
This track, included on the album Opel released in October 1988, is one of the previously unreleased recordings from June 1970 at Abbey Road Studios, produced by his former bandmate David Gilmour.
While it has elements of psychedelic folk, it carries a more introspective, dreamlike atmosphere, where Barrett’s delicate guitar work and distinctive vocal style meld to draw listeners into a fantastical sonic world.
As a song themed around the Milky Way, it’s a perfect pick for the night of Tanabata.
Minha MenteTopaz
This is a classic acid jazz album released in 2002 by Topaz, led by multi-instrumentalist Topaz McGarrigle from Texas, USA! It’s the group’s second album on Velour Recordings and includes signature tracks like “Minha Mente” and “I Can See It In You.” Beyond Topaz’s outstanding saxophone chops, the record showcases a consistently funky sound driven by Wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes, delivering a perfect blend of live band performance and danceable grooves.
Hailed by PopMatters as “one of the best jazz-funk records of the past decade,” it earned high praise internationally.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking jazz you can dance to, and especially for fans of acts like the Greyboy Allstars!

Mariners Apartment ComplexLana Del Rey
Released in September 2018 by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, this song is a beautiful ballad that marks a turning point in her music.
In this work, she moves away from the traditional image of a “tragic, fragile woman,” instead singing about her inner strength and reliability toward her partner.
Blending elements of soft rock and country at 76 BPM, the track layers warm piano and acoustic guitar with her delicate yet powerful vocals.
As a lead single for the album “Norman Fucking Rockwell!,” it drew significant attention and helped earn a Grammy nomination.
This classic is recommended for couples—lovers or spouses—who support each other.
