Dear My BooMirei Touyama
Mirei Toyama’s hit number “Dear My Boo.” This work is famous as an answer song to Shota Shimizu’s classic “My Boo,” and it became a nationwide hit.
If you’re a woman in your twenties, chances are you’ve heard it at least once.
The key attraction of this track is, above all, its lyrics.
Since it’s an answer song, a good flow might be to have the man sing “My Boo” first, followed by the woman singing “Dear My Boo.”

deadlockKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta
Kami-sama, I’ve realized this is a song you can fully immerse yourself in, where the sense of sprinting and the gnawing impatience link with a stressed-out mind.
Since the entire chorus is sung in English, I think even people who struggle with Japanese music can get drawn right in.
From the lyrics, the protagonist seems tormented by human relationships and the gap between ideals and reality.
Surely there are many who feel the same helpless rush of anxiety and impatience, which takes root in the heart as anger.
It’s a stress-relief anthem that makes you want to blast it at full volume.

A Vocaloid song where a sense of floating and tension blend exquisitely.

Produced as part of Project VOLTAGE, a collaboration between Hatsune Miku and the Pokémon series.
It features a distinctive style that pairs a techno-rock sound with a touch of transience and emotionally rich lyrics.
The arrangement skillfully weaves in in-game Pokémon BGM, which will resonate if you’ve ever played.

Distortion!!kessoku bando
Bocchi the Rock! is an anime that depicts the everyday lives of high school students who form a rock band.
For its ending theme, the band Kessoku Band wrote an original song titled “Distortion!!”.
The word “distortion” refers to the warping of sound.
In the song, it’s used to express both the sound the protagonists play and the emotions they carry as forms of distortion.
Another appealing aspect is the satisfying way the lyrics keep rhyming with the word “distortion” as the phrases progress.
DearWakita Monari
With its light, crisp guitar sound and playful jazzy performance, “Dear” is a perfect track for graduation party BGM.
Included on Namori Wakita’s 2018 release “Ahead!”, its melody keeps farewells from ending on a gloomy note, which is part of its charm.
The lyrics, portraying parting from someone dear, will resonate with everyone entering graduation season.
Its stylish sound also suits the nighttime mood, making it a song I especially recommend to graduates who’ve just taken a step into adulthood.

She sings about her feelings for her sister who is getting married—her gratitude and hopes for her future happiness.
The song, by Ai, who was also active as a member of the music unit RSP, was released in 2015.
Its charm lies in the warm vocals, sound, and straightforward lyrics.
With an easy-listening style and melody reminiscent of a children’s song, the message comes through clearly.
There are surely people who admire this kind of sisterly relationship.
How about using it as BGM for a wedding or reception?
