Koen Street

Ayumu Minezawa "Koen Street" (3rd Single)

"Koen Street" is Ayumu Minezawa's first single with English lyrics, released as a digital single. The track features a dreamy and nostalgic sound, blending influences from American indie rock and pop, 60s and 70s bands, singer-songwriters, and Japanese pop. Despite the wide range of inspirations, the song carries a unique atmosphere that only Minezawa can create, combining melancholy and warmth.

Minezawa played most of the instruments himself, including the Fender Rhodes and piano, while also handling the programming and mixing. The lo-fi, analog feel of the sound, paired with gentle melodies and delicate arrangements, invites listeners into a quiet, wistful scene full of subtle emotions.
