Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

As the fun-filled summer slips away, autumn arrives wrapped in a calm, mellow mood.

The air turns a bit chilly, and it can make you feel a little sentimental.

Here are some emotional autumn songs you’ll want to listen to this season.

Stirring band sounds and lyrics that slowly sink in…

It might be nice to deepen your autumn with “emo” tracks that are hard to put into words.

Let your thoughts wander in a cozy spot like a café or at home, or take them along for a long autumn night or a quiet stroll.

The four-piece rock band androp has gained popularity with songs that feature listener-centric messages and a transparent, airy vocal tone.

Their digital single “September,” released on September 7, 2022, offers a comforting, emotional ensemble that evokes 1990s power pop.

The lyrics, which recall the trials of youthful romance that never quite goes as planned, are sure to stir the heart alongside a slightly wistful melody.

It’s a lyrical number perfectly suited to the sentimental season of autumn.

Keisuke Kuwata – After the Festival (Short ver.)

After the FestivalKuwata Keisuke

A gentle, richly flavored autumn pop tune from Southern All Stars, one of Japan’s most iconic bands that have long dominated the country’s music charts.

Keisuke Kuwata’s emotive, slightly husky vocals irresistibly evoke the loneliness of fall.

Among Southern All Stars’ many classic songs, this track reaffirms how compelling a piece can be when it forgoes flashiness and is simply, powerfully sung.

That Autumn and School Daysoishikuru meronpan

Released in September 2017, this song by Oishikuru Melonpan is a gem of a ballad that beautifully depicts autumn scenery and memories from student days.

The band sound interwoven with strings colors the days that drifted by in the autumn breeze with vivid hues.

The gently resonant lyrics evoke the sweet-and-sour memories of youth and let you feel the “beautiful wistfulness” hidden in everyday life.

Included on their mini-album “indoor,” this track is an important piece that showcases the band’s musical diversity and matured expressive power.

It’s a song I highly recommend for solitary moments under the cool night sky or as background music for a drive while gazing at the autumn leaves.

This song is one of Gagaga SP’s signature tracks—a moving masterpiece that portrays a protagonist facing the pain of heartbreak.

The world it creates, woven from the melancholy of an autumn dusk and the sorrow of lost love, gently resonates with listeners’ hearts.

Released in October 2002, the song was included on the album “Ora Ichinuketa” and was also used in a Toyota Voltz commercial.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who has experienced heartbreak or is standing at a crossroads in life.

Why not savor it on a long autumn night?
