Dried flowersYuuri
This song, Dry Flower, is an answer song that depicts what happens after singer-songwriter Yuuri’s hit song Kakurenbo.
It sings about feelings any woman who’s experienced heartbreak can relate to—the emotions that sway you when, even as you try to take a new step forward, something still catches in your heart.
Don’t you sometimes find yourself suddenly recalling the days you spent together? It’s a love song that draws you in when you listen at times like that, wrapping you in a sense of nostalgia.
homeKiyama Yusaku
It’s a moving ballad that sings of the happiness of “having family.” The song is by singer Yusaku Kiyama, who gained popularity after appearing on a TV program, and “home” is his major-label debut single, released in 2008.
Its grand arrangement, nostalgic atmosphere, and heartfelt vocals really resonate.
If you’re living away from your hometown, it may bring vivid images of those familiar landscapes to mind.
Please take your time and listen closely.
HeroFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
The 11th single by the music unit FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, who pursued solo activities after disbanding in 2013 and announced their reunion in 2021.
The lyrics portray fathers who work every day for their families as “heroes,” reminding us that heroes aren’t imaginary superhumans but the real, closest figures who protect us.
With its pop, catchy melody delivering a warm message, it’s a song you’ll want to share along with your everyday gratitude.
rose flowerkururi
Among the songs by Quruli, the rock band from Kyoto, this masterpiece could well be called the King of Pop.
Released as a single in 2001, it was also used as an insert song in the TBS drama Orange Days.
Miki Furukawa, the bassist of the rock band SUPERCAR who had close ties with Quruli, handles the chorus in the hook.
Shigeru Kishida’s vocals and the unique world he paints bring back those fluttering feelings and bittersweet memories from back then, don’t they? It’s a track I especially want newcomers to Quruli to hear.
Don’t give up on your dreamsOkamura Takako
Takako Okamura, who had a massive hit with “Matsu wa” as a member of Amin, released her fifth solo single, “Yume wo Akiramenai de,” in 1987.
Although Okamura originally wrote it as a heartbreak song, its lyrics can also be taken as an encouraging anthem, which led to its use on the TV program Nettou Koshien and its adoption as a choral piece.
In 2005, it was also chosen as the theme song for the film Aim for the Ace! 9 (Gyakkyou Nine).
It’s such a classic that it even appears in music textbooks—be sure to give it a listen!
to go on a rampage; to start acting violently; to run amokUrufuruzu
We keep failing and things just don’t go right no matter how long we try… “Why did I end up doing it like that…?” Even as adults, there are so many things we regret.
This song gently stays by your heart in times like that.
It’s a masterpiece that carries their signature hidden passion.
When you’re feeling down, listen to this song, have a good cry, reset your feelings, and keep going!
Oh, early summer rainSakurazaka46
This is a song by the idol group Sakurazaka46 that seems to portray feelings growing larger and larger.
While the group often gives a strong impression of intense, dance-focused tracks, this song conveys a gentle atmosphere.
With grand, resonant strings, it also feels like it expresses a swell of emotion.
The lyrics depict the confusion of feelings that deepen with time and the fear of confessing those feelings.
It’s a track that resonates with the heart, capturing the wavering between overwhelming affection and fear.
