Japanese Breakfast is a master storyteller through her lyricism. She crafts her songs with such intimacy that they feel like they were written just for you. Kokomo IN captures the sweet longing for someone once loved deeply who that has traveled far away. The lyrics are melancholy, yet the instrumentation keeps the narratives voice light, hinting at hopeful wish that one day they will find one another again. I lived in Indiana for majority of my early childhood, and my father also occasionally commutes to kokomo Indiana for work so aside from the music, I feel a small personal connection to the setting of her story.
