Downtown Market create not too clear sound, like a sound shifting from standard of the sound. Sleepingowl's guitar blends naturally into the melody, gently supporting the whole song. Kurumi's bass is catchy but appears to be a natural melody facilitator. The songs sound mellow, and make you unconsciously into the sound before you notice. A show video of <a href="spotify:track:4nzyOwogJuWn1s6QuGFZ6w" data-name="My Name Is Jonas">My Name Is Jonas</a> by <a href="spotify:artist:3jOstUTkEu2JkjvRdBA5Gu" data-name="Weezer">Weezer</a> is the original experience of the music started by Sleepingowl, who writes all the songs of Downtown Market. Sleepingowl got goosebumps when a faded-in guitar sound came in just before chorus, paved a way for his sound production.
