You probably don’t usually search for music by the first hiragana of the title, but that’s exactly why it can lead you to songs you wouldn’t normally come across.

This song sings about the neighborhood hero—“Grandpa”—who speaks fluent English, has a six-pack, and even catches burglars, making him someone to admire.

It was Alex Ramirez’s walk-up song during his time with the Yomiuri Giants, before he became the manager of the Yokohama BayStars.

Listening to it somehow gives you energy.

The music video portrays real people in Tokyo, and the song makes you reflect on yourself.

It tells you that there’s no need to put on a facade, no need to give up on your dreams, and that it’s okay to affirm yourself just as you are.

It’s not a polished or pretty MV by any means, but it gives you the strength to live.

My Very Own Merry ChristmasNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

A rare Christmas song for Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi.

Included on the album HEAVY GAUGE released in June 1983, this track is a simple yet heartwarming hidden gem.

It marks an important period when he was transitioning from a delicate folk singer to his trademark raspy, passionate vocal style.

The lyrics, filled with kindness, depict the warmth of family and the forging of new bonds.

When singing it at karaoke, try delivering it gently, as if telling memories to a child.

It’s recommended for those who want to feel the happiness of spending Christmas night with someone special.

It’s a song that will especially resonate with middle and high school students! Created by Vocaloid producer Aotani and released in 2018.

Its relatable lyrics focus on the difficulties of living in modern society, which is a big part of its appeal—you can’t help but nod along and think, “I get it.” The fast-paced arrangement and catchy melody feel great to listen to, and your body starts to sway on its own.

Before you know it, you’ll feel like singing along! So it’s also highly recommended for karaoke.

bowlingTakahashi Yuu

Thanks to the hit “Fukuwarai,” Yu Takahashi often comes across with a soft, warm image, but in fact he has many songs written with sharp, edgy words like this one.

In the lyrics of this track, he lists a lot of things that any working adult has probably felt are a total “pain in the neck,” which many listeners will relate to.

Yet it’s not just a string of complaints; by the end, he expresses feelings that convey love for someone important to him, which is truly heartwarming.

The accompaniment—band-based with piano woven in—feels comfortable and has a gripping appeal that really hits home.

Where We’re HeadedTakahashi Hitomi

A celebrated masterpiece that suddenly rose to fame as the third opening theme for the MBS/TBS anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY.

Among the theme songs of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, I think this is the best masterpiece.

Me too, I’m an addict.Oni feat. Bes

It’s a dark track by Oni, who stands out as an eccentric artist skilled with jazz samples, and Beth, a highly trusted figure from the underground.

The lyrics are core and ill, leaving a strong impression and elevating the mood for something you’ll want to listen to in September.
