southerly wind (feat. GUMI)

My new single, "Southerly Wind (feat. GUMI)," will be released on August 1, 2026.

This track is a catchy, refreshing summer song that fully incorporates the essence of 90s J-Pop-a style I excel at.
Built upon a pleasant, mid-tempo rhythm, the arrangement layers electric piano and synthesizers with rhythmic guitar strumming. The result is a sound that balances that signature 90s vibe with a fresh feel, evoking images of a vast blue ocean and sandy beaches.

The title, "Southerly Wind," is taken from a line in the lyrics that perfectly captures the song's mood.
The lyrics depict the romance of a couple who met in the summer; I paid close attention to the structure and word choice to recreate the unique atmosphere of 90s J-Pop, so I hope you'll listen closely to the words as well.

The music video features scenes that perfectly match the song-such as a pier, a sandy beach, and a seaside town-creating visuals that will make you want to head straight to the ocean.
The full version will be released on YouTube and Niconico Douga at 9:00 AM on the day of the launch, so please be sure to check it out.
