Is music one of the interiors?

I think that one of the things you need to have a better lifestyle is your “hobby.”
What are your hobbies?

Hello, this is “M” from the Japanese source store staff. My hobby is listening to music.
I like live and festivals, and music is an integral part of my life.
I can’t go live in this situation these days, so I’m enjoying it in a way I can only do now, such as watching live broadcasts and talking about music while drinking with friends online.
I also play music when I work remotely.

This time, I would like to introduce some music that you can relax without getting in the way while you work.
When working from home, it may be difficult for many people to take a break, and many people are always careful.
Let’s prepare a more cozy workspace with recommended items and music!

■ Dirty Projectors「Overlord」

Dirty Projectors is an indie rock band from Brooklyn. The original and heart-warming sound is popular, and he has performed at large festivals such as Fuji Rock and Asagiri JAM in Japan. This song starts with a slightly awakening sound and has a pleasant chorus with a gentle main melody. Perfect for the start of a bright day.

■ Bruno Pernadas「Spaceway 70」

Bruno Pernadas is a band from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. A nostalgic sound that fuses the essence of various music and eras such as pop, jazz, exotic, folk, and classical music is addictive. Although it has an irregular rhythm, it has a beautiful chorus and a tight break at the end of the song, and it seems to be a smart song.

■ Bill Withers「Lovely Day」

Bill Withers is an American singer-songwriter. He won three Grammy Awards and died last March, leaving behind a number of masterpieces. He is very disappointed. I’ve known this song for a long time, but recently it was used for the ending of the movie “Pet” that my child was really into, and I realized the goodness of the song again. It’s a gentle melody line, so it’s recommended for a calm afternoon.

■ Khruangbin「Time(You and I)」

Khruangbin is a three-piece band from Texas, USA. It’s a little difficult to talk about in genre, but the genre that is often summarized is “Thai funk”. To put it simply, it seems that the soul funk that was popular in the United States has been added with a strange time signature peculiar to Thailand. This song has a cool atmosphere that seems to have been pushed out somewhere, and it is recommended when you want to improve your tone, such as simple office work or design work.

■ mei ehara「群れになって(mureni natte)」

The last is Japanese artist mei ehara. Her soft and somewhat mysterious singing voice and the pleasant rhythm that gently shakes her body are her charms. It’s a song that makes you feel calm when you want to get the job done in the afternoon. This music video is also very cute with colors reminiscent of the world of Dick Bruna.

When you enter a restaurant or shop, the music that suddenly plays is comfortable, and the image of the shop is decided there, so BGM is also an indispensable production for creating a space.
Why don’t you incorporate it into your daily life as one of the interior decorations?

I also summarized the songs that could not be introduced here in the Spotify playlist.
In addition to remote work, these songs are also recommended for household chores, relaxing time with your family, and the end of the day.
