Jpop Recommend #349 Aliens by KIRINJI

エイリアンズ Aliens

キリンジ KIRINJI

Released in October 2000, this song is the band's 6th single.   This band was originally started as a brother, Takaki Horigome and Yasuyuki Horigome.  This song was written by a younger brother, Yasuyuki Horigome but later he left the band.  

This song was recommended by one of my colleagues at work.  The unique lyrics and sad yet soothing tune stand out from other jpop songs.
