Masterpieces with Titles Starting with 'A' (301–310)

In the Name of LoveHamada Shogo

Under the Name of Love (single / 1992)
In the Name of LoveHamada Shogo

It was originally the 1981 song “Kanashimi wa Yuki no Yō ni,” rearranged to match the drama and re-released.

Among Shogo Hamada’s ballads, it’s a representative of the “heavy and deep” type.

It’s recommended for those who want to deliver an emotional ballad with a gentle touch.

Because it jumps into the chorus suddenly from the A verse, the song structure feels like “before you know it, the chorus!” For the low notes in the A verse, try singing as if pushing a mass of breath forward.

For the chorus, rather than belting, aim your voice into the distance; that way it will carry cleanly and the high notes will feel better.

Since it’s a range that can be hard to hit unless you place the very first note solidly, use a popping accent on the na-gyo (n-row consonants) to kick it off!

Before the Generation of LoveHamada Shogo

Before the Generation of Love (ON THE ROAD 2022 LIVE at Budokan / Special Edition)
Before the Generation of LoveHamada Shogo

An unusually fast album that was recorded in just two weeks at the request of director Akira Sudo for the 1982 Nippon Budokan concert.

It carries the message that “a true generation of love will not arrive as long as nuclear weapons are not eradicated from the earth.” It’s a pretty cool rock number, the kind you’ll want to sing out loud without hesitation! Recommended for those confident in their stamina and those good at using their chest voice.

When singing, place a hand on your chest and focus on your chest resonance.

Simply keeping your hand there will help you feel your body resonate and should increase your volume.

I think it’s best to sing with crisp, clear enunciation throughout!

I still love youDa-iCE

Don’t you have a heartbreaking memory of love that tightens your chest? This tear-jerking, gemlike ballad captures an undying yearning for a former lover.

Chosen as the theme song for the UULA manga “I Give My First Love to You,” it’s included on the first album, “FIGHT BACK,” released in October 2014.

It portrays an earnest, almost painfully straightforward feeling of still loving the “you” who has gone away, stirring the heart every time you listen.

For karaoke, the key is to sing as if speaking, carefully tracing the emotional highs and lows.

It’s perfect for creating a gentle, intimate mood—so please give it a try.

I Wish, the sixth single by Naniwa Danshi, was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama My Second Aoharu, starring group member Shunsuke Michieda.

Blending the sparkle and bittersweetness of youth, it resonates as both a love song and a song of encouragement.

Released in November 2023, the track has been beloved by many fans, debuting at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Its slightly nostalgic, catchy melody embodies classic idol pop, and the soaring chorus gently gives listeners a push forward.

Much like the drama’s warm worldview, this song is especially recommended for anyone looking to firm up small resolutions in their daily life.

A quintessential dance track that fuses a melody imbued with poignancy and emotion with powerful, dance-like elements.

Released in September 2025, it appears on Naniwa Danshi’s ninth double A-side single.

Chosen as the theme song for TV Asahi’s OshiDora Saturday drama “Revenge Spy,” it shines with expressions that closely mirror the drama’s worldview.

Written and composed by Keiya -amazuti-, it features an authentic J-pop sound crafted to stir the listener’s emotions.

Rather than a song to boost your energy, it’s recommended for moments when you want to fully immerse yourself in its musical world.

Huh, where is it?Sakushi: Kanzawa Toshiko / Sakkyoku: Koshibe Nobuyoshi

Where Are You? [E Tele] Lyrics: Toshiko Kamizawa / Composition: Nobuyoshi Koshibe Okaasan to Issho♪
Huh, where is it?Sakushi: Kanzawa Toshiko / Sakkyoku: Koshibe Nobuyoshi

This is a very unique and fun fingerplay song where you search for where animals’ body parts are.

As you respond to the prompts by pointing “up,” “down,” and “sideways,” or by touching your own body, children’s powers of observation and curiosity will naturally be drawn out.

Written by lyricist Toshiko Kanzawa and composed by Nobuyoshi Koshibe, this piece has been loved across generations since it was included on the album “NHK Okaasan to Issho,” released in April 1992 as a related song to the NHK program Okaasan to Issho.

March, when children are on the verge of graduating or moving up a grade and you can feel their growth, is the perfect time for this—whether in nursery schools and kindergartens or at home spending one-on-one playtime with your child.

Enjoy warm springtime moments together with lots of laughter!

An electronic number that sharply depicts a heart swaying between the desire for approval and self-denial.

Released as a participating track for the event “The VOCALOID Collection 2024 Winter” held in February 2024.

By layering the distinct vocal timbres of Kasane Teto SV, KAFU, and Nurse-loid_Type T, it conveys a heartfelt cry for love.

The edgy sound coexists with a fragile delicacy that feels on the verge of breaking, piercing straight through the chest.

On nights when you want someone to acknowledge you but can’t be honest about it, take your time and let it sink in.
