A must-listen for FamilyMart fans: a FamilyMart song made for FamilyMart, singing about FamilyMart.

Konbini is striking for sampling the FamilyMart entrance chime in both the intro and outro.

It’s a track by NORIKIYO, the leader of the hip-hop unit SD JUNKSTA active mainly in Kanagawa, included on his 2017 album Bouquet.

It may be projecting questions about the seen and unseen sides of people at convenience stores, as well as about society and the invisible world.

The way the lyrics are delivered—woven with relentless rhymes—is insanely cool!

convenience storesaruganseki

This is a convenience-store song I’d recommend to anyone who’s ever kept going back to a shop because they developed a crush on a staff member.

It’s a track by Saruganseki, the comedy duo of Hiroiki Ariyoshi and Kazunari Moriwaki, who both had a strong presence as TV personalities.

Released in 1997 as their third single, it was used in a FamilyMart commercial.

It’s a quintessential Saruganseki medium-tempo number that conjures a fleeting, refreshing, blue-tinged mood and depicts a tender first love.

The heartbreak comes when the person suddenly stops showing up, and as the narrator waits around the store hoping to see them, they appear—with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The contrast between the protagonist and the store clerk tightens the chest with a bittersweet ache.

The convenience-store song delivered by the five-piece funk-based rock band Futari-me no Giant is “THIS MOMENT.” It’s included on their 2021 album 50:50.

From the intro, it’s captivating and draws you in.

The balance of the sound and the sense of groove make for a very pleasant track.

The words “late night,” “convenience store,” and “rain” leave a strong impression, depicting feelings of anxiety about the future.

It’s a song you’ll want to keep replaying when everyday life feels a bit dull.

If you’re looking for a deeply evocative convenience-store-themed song, check out “Mr.

Zhao at the Convenience Store.” It’s a track by the wonderfully expressive singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama—both delicate and brimming with vitality—featured on his 2014 album “Golden Heart.” Centering on a woman working at a convenience store, the song weaves together stories of belonging, love, and the struggle to live, all sung in universal language, imbued with Moriyama’s signature message of affirmation.

It may resonate even more now than when it was released.

Give it a listen while reflecting on your own life.

When it comes to “convenience store songs,” many people probably think of Kinoko Teikoku’s Chronostasis first! This track, one of the band’s signature songs, is included on their 2014 release Fake World Wonderland.

Its playful wordcraft and vocalist Chiaki Sato’s delicate tone make it irresistibly addictive.

The gently emotional melody gradually builds a sense of exhilaration.

It’s a magical piece that makes nighttime scenes—like a late-night walk with someone you’re interested in or a solitary stroll home on an ordinary day—feel even more romantic.
