to exist; to be (used for inanimate things or abstract existence)Hata Motohiro
When it comes to songs that gently keep you company on sleepless nights, “Aru” comes to mind.
It’s included on singer-songwriter Motohiro Hata’s 2019 album Copernicus, an album filled with warmth that soothes listeners.
The melody, led by the sound of acoustic guitar, resonates softly.
The lyrics, which honestly express feelings for a loved one, are heartwarming, and his sweet voice will help you relax.
If you find yourself thinking, “I want to sleep but I can’t…,” lend an ear to this warm ballad that gently wraps your anxiety and restlessness.
All of MeJohn Legend
It’s a classic John Legend ballad.
The piano melody is especially beautiful, and its flowing lines gently touch the listener’s heart.
It conveys how important it is to care for someone—how that very feeling can bring pain and anxiety.
Yet it also makes you feel that love, for all of that, is something truly wonderful and valuable.
Romeo and Cinderellakeeno
This song, featuring the well-known Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, portrays anxieties and inner conflict in romance.
While there are many love-themed tracks, this one expresses its emotions lyrically by incorporating a visual kei rock-like atmosphere into the backing music.
Motherkariyushi 58
It’s crafted as a very simple story.
These lyrics flow along with Kariyushi 58’s distinctive rhythm.
Yet underlying it all is, after all, the bond between mother and child.
Family is something that remains a source of comfort no matter how much time passes.
Theory of the Mindful HeartRADWIMPS
This is RADWIMPS’s 7th single.
I like the chorus, but I like the rap part even more—it’s addictive.
Yojiro Noda’s clear, transparent voice is really soothing.
I don’t know much myself, but it seems their name became even more well-known with “Zenzenzense.” It makes me happy that RAD fans are increasing and more people get to hear that singing voice.
TraumaHamasaki Ayumi
This track, Trauma, is included on Ayumi Hamasaki’s biggest hit single, A, released in 1999.
As the title suggests, it’s about trauma—wounds of the heart.
It sings of the struggle to overcome hardships even amid happy moments, and wonders whether sharing them with someone might bring relief.
Each time the distinctive, subtly evolving chorus comes around, it feels like taking a step forward.
HomePhillip Phillips
It’s a song I discovered in March of the year I started living alone for the first time and felt very anxious.
When I was lonely and felt completely adrift, listening to this song encouraged me so much and lifted my spirits—I still remember it.
The melody and vocals are very soothing and healing.
