One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
This is a song that also served as the theme for the film 5 Centimeters per Second.
In the movie, it played a wonderful role in adding depth to the story.
The lyrics, which convey a straightforward love for someone dear who has been separated, are sure to move many people.
It will likely bring to mind the bittersweet experiences of love that everyone has gone through, and may even bring tears to your eyes.
Hide-and-seekYuuri
Singer-songwriter Yuuri, who became a hot topic when MY FIRST STORY’s Hiro joined his street performance, is known for this song featuring candid lyrics about a lover who suddenly vanished from right before his eyes.
The heartfelt words have deeply moved many listeners.
The situation is likened to the “hide-and-seek” in the title, and this familiar metaphor makes the yearning, sadness, and helplessness of heartbreak all the more palpable.
Many listeners may even be brought to tears, overlaying the scene with their own experiences as they call out again and again with no reply.
Amezing GraceTakehara Pisutoru
It seems this song was born from a series of misfortunes that happened around Pistols Takehara himself.
His true forte lies in weaving sadness into humor, drawing listeners into a unique world that makes them laugh and cry.
At first it makes you think, “Is this a funny song?” but it goes on to sing about a very sorrowful, hopeless absurdity.
The wind is blowing.ikimonogakari
A 2012 track that served as the broadcast theme song for the London Olympics and Paralympics, with lyrics and music by Yoshiki Mizuno.
At the time of its release—and even as of 2021—it remains the longest song in their catalog, delivering an epic sense of scale.
Its message, which resonates especially deeply when you feel discouraged or are going through hard times, conveys an earnest determination to face reality.
It gives you the strength to affirm yourself, as if to say that because there is a past, there can be a future.
Seiji Kameda’s dramatic arrangement is superb, and together with Kiyoe’s clear, soaring vocals, it stirs even greater emotion.
An immortal masterpiece that brings an unstoppable sense of uplift, as if a tailwind were at your back—you’ll likely feel lighter and more refreshed once it’s over.
Like the shining moonSuperfly
“Like the Shining Moon” is Superfly’s 15th single, released in 2012.
It was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Summer Rescue: Tenku no Shinryojo” and reached No.
6 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Superfly’s bright, powerful vocals and lyrics about the radiance of love make this a song that warms the listener’s heart.
It’s a perfect match for the drama, which portrays human connection, warmth, and the preciousness of life, so I recommend watching the drama along with listening to the song!
I LOVE YOUOzaki Yutaka
Yutaka Ozaki’s ultimate love ballad, “I LOVE YOU.” The song originally appeared on his 1983 album Seventeen’s Map and was later released as a single in 1991.
It has been featured in commercials and dramas and has been covered by many artists across genres, including Hikaru Utada and Shinichi Mori—truly a timeless classic.
Many people long for that straight, pure romance where nothing exists but each other’s love.
This is a song that seems to hold the beauty, ache, and fragility of being in love.
It will especially resonate with anyone who has someone precious in their life right now.
The Story You Don’t Knowsupercell
This is the major debut single by the creator team supercell.
It features nagi, also known as Gazelle, who had uploaded many cover videos—including “Melt”—on Nico Nico Douga up until March 2008.
The song is characterized by its emotional, story-driven lyrics.
