Hitonemuri

“Hitonemuri” reveals the gentler side of Noriyo Ikeda's city-pop sound. Her clear, unforced vocal floats over a mellow arrangement whose warmth arrives gradually rather than through a large chorus or dramatic turn.

Placed behind the brighter “Adios,” this non-album B-side feels like a private late-night discovery. Its melodic ease and understated groove make the single rewarding well beyond the better-known A-side.
