Taiyou to Kimi (September) Jacket

Singer-songwriter Natsuki Kawanishi will release her latest EP, Magic Hour, on November 8. Ahead of its release, the new song Taiyou to Kimi (September) has been released on streaming platforms.

The EP will feature five songs: Taiyou to Kimi (September), which is now available to stream; Waratte Iyouyou (Just The Way You Are), originally released in August as the theme song for the short drama and anime series Shinya Yuuki Exposed at Night ~The Dark Secrets of a Counselor for the Families of Murder Victims~, inspired by popular postings on Puri Shosetsu byGMO; Tokyo, Kimi no Machi (Wherever You Are), and Tsuki no Blanco (Swinging On The Moon). The EP will be released in two forms, Type A and Type B, each with a different jacket.

Taiyou to Kimi (September), available to stream now, is an exhilarating song about a brief summer love featuring Kawanishi’s typical realism.

Starting in 2022, the artist performed weekly on a street in her hometown in Kansai, causing a stir on social media and earning her over 320,000 followers. This year, she moved her base of activities to Tokyo and began her career as a singer-songwriter in earnest.

[Comment from Natsuki Kawanishi]
“I wrote this song in the hope that it would remind people of how their love began, and make them nostalgic for past loves. The ephemeral nature of a fleeting summer romance inspired this piece–the thrill of being alone with that special someone, the excitement of seeing them for the first time, seeing their quirks, the way your chest tightens. I hope this song will always stay close to you during your life and loves.”
