Trumpet Vine (Reprise)Andō Yūko
Yuko Ando is a singer-songwriter with a captivatingly beautiful voice and a one-of-a-kind artistic world.
This is her song “Nōzenkazura (Reprise).” The track was created based on a poem written by Ando’s grandmother, who composed it in the wake of her husband’s passing.
The song gives voice to the protagonist’s unwavering longing for a beloved who has died.
Ando’s gentle, cool-toned vocals carry the words she chose with effortless grace.
It’s a profoundly moving and exquisitely beautiful piece.
sunflowerAdo
It takes courage to be honest with your feelings, doesn’t it? That’s why I’d like to introduce a cheering song that gives you a gentle push: “Himawari” (Sunflower).
This track by Ado was created as the theme song for the drama “18/40: Dreams and Love, Together.” It’s a warm ballad that portrays a woman who thinks of herself as timid mustering the courage to take a step forward.
It’s also sprinkled with summery imagery, so keep an ear out for that as you listen.
LaughterOfisharu Higedan Dism
A song by Official HIGE DANDism, whose steadily growing popularity accelerated in 2019, propelling them to the forefront of the Japanese music scene.
When it comes to their music, you might strongly associate them with love songs like “Pretender” and “I LOVE…”.
On the other hand, this track carries a message of encouragement that can even be taken as an anthem for life.
It’s filled with support for those who challenge themselves in pursuit of their hopes and dreams, and I think it’s a song that will deeply move anyone who’s currently giving something their all.
horizonback number
Back Number’s “Suiheisen” (Horizon) was sung for the high school students who couldn’t compete because the 2020 Inter-High Championships were canceled.
It was released exclusively on their official YouTube channel, and its lyrics, meant to encourage those likely feeling down, are truly moving.
To celebrate the successful holding of the 2021 Inter-High, “Suiheisen” was officially released for streaming on August 13, 2021.
It’s a song filled with many people’s feelings—one that’s sure to move you.
Hello Goodbyeaobouzu
Aobozu is a hugely popular rock band that has been active since 2000.
Their song “Hello Goodbye,” released on October 18, 2006, is the biggest hit among all their releases.
The driving band sound is layered with a catchy, beautiful melody that sticks in your head after just one listen.
The chorus especially showcases Aobozu’s melodic side.
With philosophical lyrics that question one’s very existence, it’s a track that really hits home.
Embraced by loveSuperfly
A gentle, soothing, and warm ballad where the soft tones of acoustic guitar and Shiho Ochi’s voice permeate the heart.
Included on the 2009 second album “Box Emotions,” it’s a classic that consistently ranks high in fan polls.
With a Superfly-style chorus that opens up into a sense of liberation and embrace, its atmosphere overflows with gratitude and the message “I’m on your side,” making it hard not to tear up.
Since Shiho wrote it for her close friend who got married, it resonates as a song to give at weddings or birthdays, and I think its emotion will ripple out and move everyone around.
It’s also filled with words you’ll want to send to friends, children, or someone dear who’s doing their best far away.
Try conveying your feelings along with “Ai ni Dakarete (Embraced by Love).”
I want to be myself for my own sake.Higuchi Ai
It’s a song about a girl struggling with the gap between her ideals and reality.
Ai Higuchi, born in 1989, is a singer-songwriter known for a trembling, fragile yet powerful voice.
The music video, which looks as if it’s framed within a painting, might be an expression of her determination to catch up to the ideal version of herself nonetheless.
