It’s a straightforward, cool song.
It’s simply a song about my mother, and because it expresses gratitude so passionately—something rare in Japanese music—it doesn’t feel like a typical J‑pop song, in a good way.
Above all, Asuka Hayashi’s overwhelming vocals are sure to captivate you.
Gentle RedFukuhara Miho
It’s an uplifting song by Miho Fukuhara, whose overwhelming vocal power delivers a straightforward message of gratitude to the important people and places around her.
The word “thank you” appears frequently throughout the lyrics, making it a soothing track that leaves your heart feeling refreshed—and it’s great for humming along, too.

Released as a tie-in for a TV drama, this song was composed when she was just 19.
Its divinely beautiful sound captivated everyone.
It’s one of her signature tracks, and its sheer power makes you feel as if your heart is being naturally cleansed.
You can sense a mystical aura from the title as well.
BeautifulSuperfly
I feel like songs with great lyrics are overwhelmingly love songs, but “Beautiful” is about how to live your life.
It’s a song that makes you want to live strongly as yourself—without comparing to others and without needing to be the same as anyone else.
The lyrics are straightforward and powerful, like a charm you can carry with you.
Superfly’s powerful, soaring vocals make the already wonderful lyrics shine even more.
SAKURAikimonogakari
It’s simply a very beautiful song.
It paints memories of the past, and while Yoshioka’s powerful vocals give it a cool edge and even a sense of exhilaration, the occasional, fleeting tones of the voice sink straight into the heart.
It’s a vivid piece that conjures up a clear image of cherry blossoms dancing in the air.
Letter ~Dear You at Fifteen~Anjura Aki
When it comes to female artists who sing and play the piano, you can’t leave out Angela Aki.
Among her works, “Tegami: Haikei Jugo no Kimi e,” released in 2008, is a masterpiece with beautiful piano.
It’s well-loved as a graduation song and reached No.
3 on the Oricon singles chart.
The intro is played with arpeggios and chords, but from the middle it shifts to a more rhythmic approach with repeated keystrokes.
It was featured on NHK’s Minna no Uta and chosen as the set piece for the junior high division of the NHK National School Music Competition, so it’s a familiar song for children as well.

Its beautiful vocals never disappoint, and the gentle lyrics that quietly soak into your heart are encouraging.
When you’re irritated or going through something tough and can’t be kind to those around you, listening to this song will calm your heart and help you look outward again.
It’s a beautiful piece.
