Together foreverKobukuro
It was released in 2004 as Kobukuro’s 10th single.
The song was put out as a track used on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” and it was originally written for Mr.
Kobuchi to sing at a friend’s wedding.
It became widely known when Tomonori Jinnai performed it with a piano-and-vocal arrangement at his own wedding.
The lyrics express a straightforward desire to overcome all the happy, sad, and painful times together.
The Day After EternityAdo
A ballad depicting a heartrending love, Ado’s voice seeps into the heart.
Released digitally on White Day in March 2022, this song feels like a sequel to “Gira Gira,” produced by Vocaloid creator Tenioha.
It delicately expresses the emotions that follow losing someone you love.
The phrase “I love you” is repeated many times, singing of the universality and fragility of love.
Recommended for anyone who has experienced heartbreak or struggles to be honest with their feelings.
Give it a listen on an anniversary when you want to reaffirm your feelings for someone special.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
A song distinguished by its translucent vocals, melody, and lyrics that resonate with the heart.
Masamune Kusano’s warm voice portrays meeting a lover as a miracle and hints at the possibility of becoming free.
Beneath its surface brightness, you can also feel hidden anxieties and conflicts, which many listeners relate to.
Released in April 1994, it was also beloved as the theme song for the drama “Hakusen Nagashi.” It’s perfect not only for listening on special anniversaries with someone dear, but also for savoring the quiet, everyday moments spent with a partner.
Family SongHoshino Gen
“Family Song” is Hoshino Gen’s 10th single, released in 2017.
It was the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “Kahogo no Kahoko,” starring Mitsuki Takahata.
The lyrics were written around the theme of “What is family?”, and Hoshino wanted to create a generous, inclusive song that embraces friends, coworkers, and both heterosexual and same-sex couples.
It’s a track that conveys many forms of affection and a great, encompassing love.
Highly recommended for couples who’ve just started dating as well as those who are starting to think about marriage!
like; to like; fond ofTīna Karīna
From the name Tina Karina, you might think she’s American, but she’s actually a dyed-in-the-wool Kansai native.
Her supple yet powerful singing voice reminds me of Masaki Ueda’s once-popular “Kanashii Iro Yane,” with a slightly raspy, husky tone that makes the melancholy all the more poignant.
If someone said that to me with this song and this voice, I’d fall for it.
It might be nice to practice a lot before your anniversary and perform it on the day!
TorikoNissy(Nishijima Takahiro)
If you want to make up with your girlfriend after a fight, I recommend Takahiro Nishijima’s “Toriko.” Released in 2018 under his solo name Nissy, it’s his ninth single, and it reached No.
9 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
The Motown-style, upbeat rhythm paired with lyrics about trying to mend things with your girlfriend is so heartwarming and uplifting.
Try creating a ‘make-up anniversary’ with her and apologize with this song!
With you, on EarthHayato Yoshida
Hayato Yoshida, a rising star in Japanese rap, creates music filled with deep love and empathy.
In this piece, the hope for a future with someone precious is expressed through delicate wording and a melodious flow.
Released in April 2023, the track incorporates hip-hop elements while retaining a warmth that resonates with listeners.
It sings of the uncertainties of life and love, yet conveys a heartfelt wish for happiness with a loved one.
It’s a recommended song for couples just beginning a new relationship as well as for partners who have been together for many years.
