Top 2 in Top 12 good Japanese songs to listen to in summer 2022.
Suttonkyou
Singer-songwriter YeYe returns with a beautiful Japanese song called Suttonkyou (Japanese name: 素っ頓狂), her first single since the album Otona was released in July 2021.
In collaboration with BIM from the Creative Drug Store, this new single represents a "sweet, euphoric soul" celebrating the arrival of spring. YeYe's vocal distribution combined with the use of brass, high strings and fun rhythms of this Japanese song also has similarities with the Shibuya-kei of the 90s.
Although the playtime is only 5 minutes, Suttonkyou is not overly stretched so it is very welcome as a suitable Japanese song for Spring/Summer 2022.
