This song embraces you in those moments and won’t deny your earnest efforts, no matter how many times you fail.
With a light, upbeat melody, it gently gives you a push forward.

This is a song whose narrative-rich melody resonates deeply.
It’s included on the album “jupiter,” released in February 2002, and it fully showcases BUMP OF CHICKEN’s distinctive worldview.
Through the story of a lonely lion and a dandelion that shines like the sun, the lyrics strikingly portray friendship and hope.
It’s especially recommended for the season when you can feel spring approaching.

DIARY KEYBase Ball Bear
Base Ball Bear is a rock band formed in 2001 that made its major-label debut in 2006.
They performed as a four-piece for many years from their formation, but guitarist Shohei Yuasa left the band in 2016, and they have continued as a three-piece ever since.
In addition to having many songs characterized by refreshing vocals and guitar sounds, their uniquely Base Ball Bear chord progressions are also a distinctive and appealing feature of their music.
When you’re in the mood for clean, crisp tracks, their songs are a perfect fit!
I want to hug you.Base Ball Bear
When you have a one-sided crush or are spending time away from your partner, you sometimes find yourself thinking of them and feeling lonely, don’t you? Base Ball Bear’s “Dakishimetai” speaks for those feelings in the simplest words of all! When you miss someone you love, you keep rummaging through your memories, recalling those heart-fluttering moments with her or him, and even spinning little fantasies from them, right? And the feeling you arrive at is just, above all, “I want to hold you.” Listening to this song makes you look forward to the next time you’ll see them, and it even feels like time passes more quickly!

Despite achieving overwhelming popularity, BiSH, the “punk band without instruments,” has announced they will disband in 2023.
Their 17th single, “脱・既成概念” (Shedding Preconceptions)—released as the 11th installment of their “12 consecutive monthly releases” accompanying the disbandment announcement—is a hook-filled track that lingers in your ears.
Many listeners were likely surprised to learn that Alan Shirahama of GENERATIONS won a completely open public submission to provide the song.
It’s an addictive dance tune that will make you want to sing along while dancing at karaoke.
Dusty McNuggetBrad Mehldau
Brad Mehldau, an American jazz musician who began his career in 1993.
His track “Dusty McNugget,” included on the 2002 release Largo, is irresistible for its beautiful piano melody darting over intricate drumming.
The ad-lib section in the latter half is especially cool—his flowing performance, skillfully playing with the rhythm, is absolutely captivating.
It’s an easy listen overall, so I highly recommend it even for jazz beginners!

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Celery, released in June 2023.
The way candid feelings are laid over a simple arrangement makes it feel like you’re listening to the protagonist’s monologue.
“I don’t want to think about anything right now…” It’s perfect for that kind of mood.
The development toward the outro is especially captivating—an excellent Vocaloid song with great sensibility.
Teens, in particular, will likely relate.
