Masterpieces with Titles Starting with “A” (211–220)
I knowkometeikku
Cometic is a three-member unit promoted with the tagline “Girls draped in black, unbound by color.” Their December 2025 release “I Know” sharply captures the wavering and inner conflicts of young people living in the age of social media.
Riding on an edgy sound, it expresses the urgent desire to hold on to one’s individuality amid ever-shifting standards of what’s “right” on our timelines and constant comparisons with others.
Arranger Nika Lenz commented, “I crafted it to hit your ears with a crackling sting.” It’s a song that gives you a push when you’re unsure where you belong.
arrowTogenashi Togeari
Togenashi Togeari is a girls’ rock band born from the anime “GIRLS BAND CRY.” Produced as the opening theme for the theatrical compilation, this track is a powerful rock number that portrays the resolve to take a step toward the future while carrying unending sorrow and frustration at unrewarded effort.
The thrilling sound—driven by exhilarating guitar riffs and tight drums—is layered with vocalist Rina’s passionate singing, stirring the listener’s heart.
Released in December 2025, the song was distributed as a lead single from the EP “I’ll Live With Everything Laid Bare.”
Aikanau
A streaming single by popular NIJISANJI VTuber Kanae, released in December 2025.
It serves as the lead track on the album “Ai,” released in February 2026.
The lyrics artfully layer homophones like “I,” “ai” (love), “au” (to meet), and “ai” (sorrow), leaving a strong impression.
Rather than drawing simple lines between good and evil or like and dislike, the song resonates with a message of choosing who you are today within nuanced shades of gray.
It’s a track that gently gives you a push when you’re unsure of your true self.
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
Released in 1983, this is Yutaka Ozaki’s signature love ballad—so famous that almost everyone knows it.
I’ve taught “I LOVE YOU” in lessons several times, and I feel it’s a tough song for people who struggle with falsetto; many students actually used this song to practice it.
You shouldn’t need to change the key—the original should be comfortable to sing.
Since some people aren’t confident with falsetto, let’s review the key points.
If you’ve mostly been singing in chest voice, you’re probably used to pushing with just your voice without using much breath.
To use your breath properly, humming is important.
Do a nasal hum to create nasal resonance so the sound vibrates in your nose.
Be careful not to force it with your throat.
After a light hum, keep the resonance in the same place and let your singing voice become thinner and lighter.
Flower of ThanksYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
This is a song of gratitude sung by Daisuke Yokoyama and Takumi Mitani, aired in October 2009 as the Monthly Song on NHK E-Tele’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The lyrics and music were written by Osamu Sakata, known as the 7th “Uta no Onii-san.” The lyrics depict the word “thank you” being passed from person to person and spreading like flowers, warming the heart just by listening.
The song has been included in elementary school music textbooks and is beloved as a standard piece for expressing thanks to teachers at graduation ceremonies and thank-you events.
With its gentle melody and bright tone, it’s perfect for children’s lively voices.
When you want to convey “thank you” to the teachers who spent every day with you, be sure to sing this song.
morning gloryHakuho & Kae
Born from a segment on TV Tokyo’s special program “Shimurá & Hakuhō’s Isn’t It Amazing!” in June 2014, this is a support song wishing for recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
When it was performed on the show, it drew a huge response and many called for a CD release.
In February 2016, marking five years since the disaster, it was officially released as a duet by Hakuhō and J-pop singer Kae.
The lyrics contain memories of once-peaceful summers and the resolve to set out once again from there.
Its message—joining hands and turning tears into light—resonates warmly not only in the disaster-hit areas but in the hearts of all who listen.
It’s said that Hakuhō carried a karaoke track with him even while traveling and practiced repeatedly in preparation for the recording.
That sincere dedication, combined with Kae’s soaring vocals, brought two artists from different fields together as one, resulting in a one-of-a-kind recovery song.
Aoba’s Footstepsdagashi O-gata
Dagashi O-gata’s “Aoba’s Footsteps” portrays a protagonist who comes to a standstill amid change, then starts walking forward again while listening to a favorite song.
Released in April 2024 as a track on the album Assort Pack, it received an MV in February 2025.
I can’t get enough of that rush when a downcast heart under a cloudy sky takes a fresh look at the same scenery with new eyes.
And the warm blend of violin and piano with Merou’s vocals is wonderful, too.
Highly recommended for those approaching graduation or taking their first step into a new chapter.
