I got to like a J-POP group "Ikimonogakari." It's a band where a woman sings and two men play guitars and other insruments. In convenience stores, on TV commercials, their songs are heard very often. Their songs are pop and catchy.
Kiyoe Yoshioka, the vocalist, has an expressive voice. The words are simple and refined, and they are sang with no strange manners. Their messages seem to communicate themselves to me. I saw their TV interview and came to know that people of all ages and both sexes come alone, in couples, in families, to the group's concerts. I think that this is a group of much note.
