What kind of good things?SMAP
This mid-tempo number features a gentle, warm melody and lyrics that capture the quiet happiness hidden in everyday life, leaving a deep impression on the heart.
Released in September 1995 as SMAP’s 18th single, it became widely familiar as the theme song for Calbee’s Potato Chips commercials starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Shingo Katori.
Issued on September 9, the anniversary of their debut, it topped the Oricon weekly chart and marked a hit that reflected the group’s growing maturity.
Its message—valuing time spent with someone close over flashy events—offers a gentle embrace for hearts worn out by busy days.
DriverOfisharu Higedan Dism
It’s a track that delivers a refreshing, positive message, comparing hope for the future and serendipitous encounters to a driver.
The overall vocal range is E3–B4, which isn’t too high for Higedan’s standards.
The A and B sections sit in a relatively calm range, but the chorus repeatedly hits the top note of B4, so you’ll need to be careful not to let your pitch drop.
The melody itself is very simple, so if you’re good with higher notes, once you’ve learned the song you might find it really satisfying to sing! If high notes are tough for you, start with falsetto at first.
Try lifting your eyebrows firmly and imagine projecting your voice straight upward from your brows, using plenty of breath!

Wishing to become beautiful shouldn’t be a sin.

Teto Kasane SV’s gritty vocals and the rock sound violently stir up those muddy emotions that build up in the heart.
You want to be alone but still want to be loved—its appeal lies in how powerfully it stands by that irreconcilable feeling and affirms your entire being.
The word choices—distinctive of Kanzaki Iori, who also works as a novelist—pierce the heart alongside the pixel animation.
I especially want you to listen on nights when you can’t love yourself, when you feel down after comparing yourself to someone else.
Donguri KorokoroSakushi: Aoki Sonoyoshi / Sakkyoku: Yanada Tadashi
When it comes to a classic children’s song that everyone can hum—one that depicts tumbling down the autumn hills—this masterpiece surely comes to mind.
The lyrics by Aoki Songe were inspired by his childhood experiences in Matsushima, and the story charmingly portrays the protagonist falling into a pond, playing with loaches, and eventually shedding tears as he longs for the hills.
The song was selected for the “100 Best Japanese Songs,” and its melody is also used as the departure tune at JR Ōme Line’s Okutama Station.
Its simple melody is perfect for a round; layering the voices in a chase naturally creates a sense of unity.
How about clapping along and enjoying it together among seniors while reminiscing about childhood memories? It will be a heartwarming moment.

The song portrays a protagonist who keeps their feelings for someone secret, struggling to find the courage to speak up—something many who’ve had similar experiences will surely relate to.
