Background and Story of the Work

The new song "Can't Sleep Just with Martinis," released as the seventh installment of "Monthly Yuichi Ikuzawa," evokes memories of a summer night enveloped in sea breeze. A love that ended with a word spoken too young. In a room filled with old jazz, gazing at a martini in a glass, a nostalgic figure suddenly comes to mind—

This song depicts a mature heartbreak, sweet yet somewhat bittersweet. With a grand arrangement reminiscent of Phil Spector's sound, it expresses a world where sadness and nostalgia intertwine.

"Can't Sleep Just with Martinis" is an adult love song that accompanies the summer twilight, delivering a moment to quietly immerse oneself in memories of a past love.

To you, a summer twilight to get lost in the sadness.

Artist Comment (Yuichi Ikuzawa)

"I sang this song while imagining the 'unforgettable summer memories' that exist in everyone's heart.

Feelings that don't fade with time, and figures that reappear in fleeting moments. I've expressed such sadness and bittersweetness with a warm arrangement in the style of Phil Spector's sound.

I would be happy if you could listen to it during a relaxing evening with a drink in hand, or when reminiscing about the past alone.

I hope "Can't Sleep Just with Martinis" becomes a song that resonates with each of your precious memories."

Future Developments

"Monthly Yuichi Ikuzawa" plans to continue releasing one new song each month.

The collection of songs, spun along the timeline of a life, will be completed not as individual releases, but as a record of a single life.
