Collection of J-Pop ending songs

Replace ‘i’ with ‘you’furenzu

FREENZ “I You” TV Tokyo Drama 24 ‘What Did You Eat Yesterday?’ ending theme

We adapted a hugely popular Morning magazine manga into a drama.

It mainly tells the story of two gay men who live together and share meals.

The food in the show looked delicious, didn’t it? The upbeat song by Friends that says, “Let’s stay together forever,” brightened up the ending once again.

It’s the kind of track that makes you want to listen to it again after watching the drama’s ending.

Yuta Orisaka – Asagao (Official Music Video)

The drama Asagao: Forensic Doctor, which depicts the story of a protagonist who lost her mother in the Great East Japan Earthquake, grows day by day as a forensic pathologist, eventually starts a family, and lives her life, became a topic of conversation for its very careful and realistic portrayal.

The theme song that elevated the drama is Asagao, sung by Yuta Orisaka.

Orisaka’s distinctive voice is extremely delicate, as if gently cradling the drama.

It’s a restrained yet fervently message-driven number.

CQCQKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta

God, I Have Found Out – CQCQ

A TV drama adaptation of the much-talked-about manga “Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo” (“I Love You Just a Little Bit”).

It tells the story of an affair that begins when former classmates run into each other by chance.

The cast—Haru, Masahiro Higashide, and Riisa Naka—were all stunningly attractive.

The ending theme “CQCQ” refers to a call sign used in radio communications to call out to unspecified recipients.

It’s a cool title that subtly hints at the drama’s themes.

Forever YoungTakehara Pisutoru

Takahara Pistol / Forever Young (Ending theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “Byplayers: What If Six Famous Supporting Actors Lived Together in a Share House?”)

It’s the ending song of TV Tokyo’s popular drama “Byplayers.” A sequel was also made, and its ending theme was again handled by Pistol Takehara.

The lyrics, which wish for someone to stay forever young, feel like they were dedicated to the six supporting actors who appeared in the drama.

It’s a song that makes you want to keep watching the show.

I’m captivated every time by Takehara’s shouts.

Song of SpringFujihara Sakura

Sakura Fujiwara – “Spring Song” (short ver.)

Both parts of March Comes in Like a Lion, which depicts a young man growing through shogi, were moving stories that left me in tears at the end.

Sakura Fujiwara’s “Haru no Uta” is a cover of Spitz’s song, but I felt she truly made it her own by bringing out a gentle, feminine softness.

The final scenes were a string of tense moments, so when this song played at the end, I felt a bit relieved.

Ko Shibasaki / Things That Have Form

Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World is Kyoichi Katayama’s hugely successful coming-of-age romance novel, and it captivated people in many forms—drama, film, and manga.

The TV adaptation starred a young Haruka Ayase and Takayuki Yamada.

Because Ko Shibasaki’s ending theme had lyrics about remembering someone who had passed away, everyone thought, “Ah, someone’s going to die…” Even now, it’s a song that brings back the drama’s most memorable scenes.

Beaten by rain, life flows awayTHE SPELLBOUND

THE SPELLBOUND “Beaten by Rain, Life Flows”

The driving beat really resonates with the heart.

This work by THE SPELLBOUND is a track released in November 2024.

It was selected as the ending theme for episode 8 of the WOWOW drama “Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc.” The lyrics, themed around the fragility and strength of life, are striking and draw you into an emotional progression that connects with the drama’s worldview.

The music video, filmed on Izu Ōshima, is also beautiful, making it a song that’s visually enjoyable as well.

It’s perfect for those moments when you want to reflect on the meaning of life.
