LEMON | KENSHI YONEZU "今でもあなたはわたしの光”
When we face sadness, we must hope that it is a dream. It tasted like lemon and was bitter. This lyric expresses the fact that the person is no longer with us, but that person is still the light in my heart, and every time we think of him, we continue to live well.

FAMILY | SEKAI NO OWARI The origin of the band means “when the world ends, it’s a new beginning.” I think it is exactly what we’re facing right now. This song comes from the album “scent of memory.” The lyrics describe family matters, and what in our daily life, just the simple lyrical “Welcome home” convey a sense of warmth.

MY FRIEND | SPYAIR No matter how far we are away from our friends and family, the bond and the feeling between us will never change. It’s such a simple, warm and touching song, and share it with everyone.
"明日またそれぞれ の道を歩いても離れ ないMy friend ありのまま生きてい く強さと失っちゃい けないものがここに ある”

YORURIKAGERU | YOASOBI This song called “Racing into the night,” shows the nihilism of death and the fear of death, but in the end, Together we towards the night, to death.
"沈むように 溶け てゆくように 二人だけの空が広 がる夜に”
11
SHUNSHU | MRS. GREEN APPLE The lyric “I hate people, I hate my friends but actually I love them.” I think many of us feel very annoyed with many people and things, but that’s not true, just like the pandemic, we flustered, depression, and uncertain about the future, but we will walk through it together. 12
"大嫌いだ 人が大嫌いだ 友達も大嫌いだ 本当は大好きだ”

CANARY | KENSHI YONEZU This is my favorite song out of the stray sheep alblum. It is a song that expresses “affirmation of change” of various anger and disappointments and daily life that has changed drastically from what it used to be.
"誰も二人のことを 見つけないとして もあなただから い いよ歩いていこう 最後まで はためく 風の呼ぶ方へ”
