I wish you would hold me.Kudō Shizuka
Her third single overall, “Daite Kuretara Ii no ni,” is distinguished by its bluesy melody and ensemble.
It’s her first rock ballad as a solo single, and it exudes a sultriness that’s hard to believe came from someone still in her teens at the time.
The song is challenging, with high notes right from the opening and wide interval jumps, but the tempo is quite relaxed, so it’s easier to sing if you approach it calmly.
It’s a crowd-pleaser for karaoke—sing it with an awareness of the bouncing shuffle rhythm and expressive dynamics.
Danny BoyHirahara Ayaka
A masterpiece that expresses deep love and longing for someone far away.
Ayaka Hirahara’s richly expressive vocals further deepen the emotional impact of the piece.
Included on the album “my Classics 3” and released in March 2011, this song is a gemlike ballad that combines Masayuki Sakamoto’s arrangement with lyrics co-written by Ayaka Hirahara herself, set to the melody of the globally renowned “Danny Boy,” which itself uses the Irish folk tune “Londonderry Air.” It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on a long autumn night, while thinking of someone dear.
Reason for DanceHirate Yurina
In 2020, Yurina Hirate left Keyakizaka46, where she had served as center since their debut, and released her first solo single, drawing significant attention.
The song’s overall atmosphere evokes the powerful energy of her Keyakizaka46 era, and her dancing in sync with the beat leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics unfold content that ties into the title, “The Reason for Dance,” which can be interpreted as the very reason she continues to perform.
It’s a reassuring track that feels like it lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.

For whomNarita Ken with Koorogi ’73
The anime Cyborg 009, based on the original work by Shotaro Ishinomori.
The song Who Is It For? is the opening theme for the second series, which aired starting in 1979.
Ken Narita, who was also active as a songwriter, is the main vocalist, and it was released the same year as his 12th single.
The gritty—one might even say ultra-cool—tone and vocals are irresistible.
The reason it turned out so masculine is that, unusually for the time, it was produced as an anime song aimed at adults.
