The Wind RisesMatsuda Seiko
“Kaze Tachinu” is a song about moving past a breakup and welcoming the arrival of autumn with brightness.
It was released in 1981 by Seiko Matsuda, an idol singer who represents the Showa-era kayōkyoku sound, with composition by Eiichi Ohtaki.
Carried by glamorous choruses and a crystal-clear sound, her cute vocals shine through.
While holding on to the loneliness of heartbreak, the positive outlook matches the refreshing melody.
It’s a song that captures the sentimental heart of autumn—one that makes you want to listen while thinking of someone you can no longer see.
Like the shining moonSuperfly
A 2012 track by Superfly, who rose to prominence with a hippie style and a powerful voice uncommon among Japanese singers, lighting up the J-pop charts.
This song also features the moon, and vocalist Shiho Ochi’s strong singing is stunningly beautiful, gently resonating in the heart.
It’s a warm piece that can bring a bit of your smile back when you’re feeling down.
gentianWANIMA
WANIMA is popular across generations for their powerful, fast-paced, high-energy tracks.
But “Rindou” is a song that gently speaks to the listener’s heart, with a calm and soothing feel.
The track is included on their 2019 album COMINATCHA!! and was also released in advance as a pre-album single.
The three members of WANIMA are from Kumamoto, and “rindou” (gentian) is Kumamoto Prefecture’s official flower.
Reflecting on their younger days in Kumamoto while looking at who they are now, this is a song that truly hits home and lifts your spirits.
Karakure Night Feverkono hana wa otome
It’s an upbeat, Japanese-style mixture rock tune.
Released in December 2020, it was used as an insert song in the anime Lapis Re:LiGHTs.
It’s performed by the idol unit Konohana wa Otome, consisting of Tsubaki, Nadeshiko, and Kaede.
The melody evokes the lively atmosphere of a festival, and the lyrics sprinkled with archaic expressions leave a strong impression.
It’s perfect for long autumn nights when you want to get together with friends and hype things up at karaoke.
Sing and dance, and let your energy burst forth!
AutumnYabai T-shatsu Yasan
A mixed-gender three-piece rock band, ‘Yabai T-Shirts Yasan,’ brings an energizing autumn song, “Autumn.” I just introduced them as a rock band, but they’re a curious group that also carries hardcore and even comic-band elements—you all know them by now, right? This track “Autumn” leans more toward comical lyrics, bursting with an upbeat vibe driven by the concept of “What comes to mind when you think of autumn?” That said, the intro riff repeats at key moments, and the sound is seriously cool.
Highly recommended not only for guitar kids, but also for anyone who hasn’t heard Yaba-T yet!
Reflected at duskAkiyama Kiiro
“Reflected at Dusk” is a fierce yet fleeting rock number by singer-songwriter Kiro Akiyama, who debuted in June 2018 with the digital-only single “Yasagure Kaidou.” The song opens with a gentle acoustic guitar intro perfect for autumn, then the full band kicks in all at once, delivering an exhilarating rush—that contrast is one of its most compelling points.
Lyrically, it laments the struggle over an unforgettable love while choosing to be honest with one’s feelings and face forward.
It might give you a boost if you listen to it after a heartbreak!
Have you seen the crimson-red sky?BUMP OF CHICKEN
A song that captures your heart in the clear autumn twilight.
Released in 2006, this track showcases a beautiful fusion of BUMP OF CHICKEN’s signature simplicity and grandeur.
The story that it was inspired by a sunset Fujiwara saw is especially memorable.
It’s also notable for being played using only low chords, with a pleasantly resonant crunch guitar tone.
It’s perfect for moments of quiet reflection.
Listen to it while gazing at the evening sky, and it will surely warm your heart.
