Songs with titles starting with “Bo.” [Boku (I), Boy, Bouken (Adventure), etc.] (411–420)
Our FailureMorita Doji
It was famous as the theme song for the drama “Koko Kyoshi” (High School Teacher).
“Koko Kyoshi” is a drama from the 80s, but it was remade with Aya Ueto playing the heroine.
Morita’s fragile whispery voice creates a unique world.
It matches perfectly with the precariousness of adolescence and the fleeting impression of spring.

homesicknessMori Shinichi
Known as a classic of Showa-era enka, this song showcases Shinichi Mori’s rich, resonant voice and outstanding expressive power.
It poignantly portrays a woman’s aching feelings for a lover from whom she has been separated, sung with deep emotion.
Since its release in December 1970, it has captured countless hearts and never let go.
As Mori’s 18th single, it became one of his signature tracks, always included on his best-of albums.
Because it demands enka’s distinctive phrasing and finely nuanced emotion, it’s quite difficult to sing.
Still, it’s a song I especially hope will be heard by those living away from their hometowns or thinking of someone far away.
AdventurersKusunose Seishiro
“Adventurers” is a coming-of-age song you’ll want to listen to in the summer.
As an adult, don’t you ever find that something you catch sight of suddenly brings back long-forgotten memories? This song is exactly that kind of track.
Memories of youth—dreams, love, and more—come vividly rushing back, reminding you of things we tend to forget as we grow up.
The lyrics seem to capture the essence of things within a sparkling, radiant world.
It’s a refreshing song that will lift the spirits of those in the midst of their youth too, so be sure to give it a spin on a drive!
Adventurous CometEnomoto Kurumi
Kurumi Enomoto is a female singer-songwriter who began her career and made her first major debut in 2002, then made another major debut in April 2006.
She is from Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture.
Her delicate yet beautiful and emotional songs and vocals—such as “Bōken Suisei,” the ending theme of the anime Tales of the Abyss from the Tales game series, which she also performed on Music Station—are deeply moving.
They carry a powerful force that feels like it fills the missing pieces in your heart.
Our SongYokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
This song carries a lovely message: no matter when, singing can lift your spirits and make you happy.
Lots of adults love karaoke, too, right? In other words, singing can change your mood.
And that’s true for children as well.
That might be why there are so many singing segments on “Okaasan to Issho” (With Mother).
Let’s enjoy a fun time together by singing along with the show—songs about food, brushing teeth, bedtime, and more!
We are explorers of the future.Izumi Tachibana
This is a song whose lyrics talk about setting out for the future, and it’s exciting to sing.
You can march to the rhythm, stomp your feet, sway your body as you sing, or even come up with simple choreography and dance along—it’s all fun.
We don’t know exactly how the idea of “the future” appears to children, but if you ask questions like, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” or “What do you think life will be like in the future?”, their imaginations will grow, and I’m sure it will lead to wonderful singing voices.
I can’t learn to like myself.Sakurazaka46
Keyakizaka46, a Sakamichi idol group popular for their stylish musicality.
Among the Sakamichi groups, they’re known for having difficult songs, but there are some that are easy to sing.
The one I recommend is “I Can’t Learn to Love Myself.” This track features a very catchy vocal line and doesn’t require a particularly wide range.
With many melodies that lean slightly toward a Showa-era style, it should be manageable even for those who tend to go off pitch.
Give it a listen.
