To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon
The theme song for the anime film Her Blue Sky, which shares its title with the movie produced by CloverWorks.
Producer Genki Kawamura decided to use Aimyon for the theme after saying he could “hear her voice” during the film’s production.
While accompanying the work itself, the song also conveys Aimyon’s gentle side.
Meeting you makes me start to like things I never liked before, and it makes me want to know even more about what you see with your own eyes… It tenderly sings of feelings akin to love.
From afar, wishing for happinessKuramubon
Originally a character song from the anime Lucky☆Star, this is Clammbon’s cover version.
It’s a song in which a mother who passed away at a young age watches over her daughter and husband, wishing for their happiness.
The piano in the intro is beautiful and brings you to tears right away.
There’s a music video directed by Isao Yukisada, and it’s an absolute tearjerker! It’s bittersweet, but it leaves you with a very gentle feeling—highly recommended.
Goodbye is an emotionSakanakushon
It seems this was a song created specifically for the commercial for the “Toshin 2013 National Unified Test for High School Students / National Unified Test for Junior High School Students.” I actually only discovered the song quite recently, but despite its sense of loneliness, it’s a wonderful piece that helps you stay positive—one that makes you feel like it’s okay to cry when you want to and then keep trying.
The promotional video was released in 2014, and I think it skillfully expresses the back-and-forth state of mind.
red-yellow fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans)Fujifaburikku
This is the third single in a series themed around the four seasons.
“Akakiiro no Kinmokusei” was created with autumn as its theme.
Not only the title’s sweet osmanthus and the lyrics, but the sound itself strongly evokes autumn scenery.
The song powerfully conveys a restless state where various emotions mix—anxiety over realizing summer ended before we noticed, and the loneliness that comes as temperatures drop in autumn.
With a tone that holds both stillness and motion, evoking the season between summer and winter, it stirs the heart.
What do you want to become?Rozarīna
Facing the true feelings that we’re prone to forget as we repeat our days, “Nani ni Naritakute,” was released in 2020 by singer-songwriter Rozarina, known for her work on numerous anime songs.
It portrays the raw emotions of having dreams and goals and working hard, yet losing sight of what you truly want to do.
The rhythmic vocals carried by the warm tones of an acoustic guitar are sure to soothe a tired heart.
It’s a song filled with a gentle message that tells you it’s okay to let your tears fall sometimes.
day by dayYoshida Yamada
This song portrays the long years the grandfather and grandmother have spent together and the love they share.
It was aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” where its moving lyrics became a hot topic.
From the day they met, there were many joys and hardships, and then the time of parting gradually approaches… No matter what happens, within the time we’re given, it’s a song that will make you want to convey those precious feelings to someone important—before the very last day arrives.

FRIENDSOkazaki Taiiku
This is a music video released in 2015.
It’s a track from Okazaki Taiiku’s indie days—he made a sensational debut in 2016, cemented his place in the Japanese music scene, and is now active on TV variety shows and children’s programs.
It’s a cute, funny, and touching song that will bring tears to your eyes, sung as a playful back-and-forth about friendship with a puppet.
