“Watashi” by Haku

Finding this group was a nice surprise. They only have three songs and this is just the latest but it's got a really solid composition. Haku was the winner of a grand-prix and listening to this song is easy to see why they won. 

Check out “Watashi” here, along with the official music video below.

“ReSTARTING!!” by Aimi

I stumbled across this song while writing articles and I really dug it. It’s got a heavy anime feel which I’ve been in the mood for as of late. “ReSTARTING!!” is a lot fun and it’s full of positivity that I usually enjoy as well.

“Kamisama No Itazura” by Spira Spica

This mid-tempo number by Spira Spica was just a delight to discover. Its a bit moody and almost melancholic but there is something about it that I find charming. This was the song that helped me decide to cover them for Music Corner and I’ve had it on repeat all month long.

“Star”by BiSH

This latest release by BiSH is one I absolutely love. It reminds me a lot of their early work, specifically “Spark” and to me this song just has a nostalgic feel to it. It’s a nice mid-temo number with some nice guitar work in it. I’ve had this one on repeat for about a month now.

“Hajimari wa Kimi no Sora” by Liella!

I’m so glad this song did as well as it did on the ORICON. I had a blast the week we covered this number and I’ve been listening to it ever since. I’ve always circled around whether or not I would watch the anime but if the next release is as good as this one is, I’ll probably check it out.

Music Corner Week 76: Spira Spica

Spira Spica is a three-member pop-rock band that got started in 2013 under the name Snowman. When they made their major-label debut under Sacra Music they changed their name to Spira Spica with the release of their song “Start Dash”. The group is centered around the lead vocalist Mikiha who the band feels has an innocent character that naturally makes viewers and listeners smile. The lead guitarist is Yuji Teranishi and the bassist goes by the name Masuda.

Mikiha is truly the heart and soul of this group with her nice vocals, she is capable of being cute in some songs, and in others, she has a nice soft voice that really pulls the listener in. Teranishi’s guitar work also stands out when it needs to. The song that really put them on the map for me was “Kamisama No Ita Zura” which is a wonderful mid-tempo track that has a really nice opening that transitions really well to Mikiha’s singing. 

Spira Spica released their first album last year which is titled Pop Step Jump! They also have eight EPs and one single. Their latest EP, “Pyramid Dai Gyakuten”, was released earlier this year. Their official website along with their official Twitter account stays up to date with all their latest news . Lastly, be sure to check out their song “Kamisama No Ita Zura” in the video below.
