Its lyrics, which depict a strong resolve to uphold love while defying fate, mirror the story and are sure to bring tears.
It’s an inspiring song you’ll want to listen to when you need a touch of brilliance in everyday life.
Xia XiaoWANIMA
WANIMA is a band that delivers a catchy rock sound that lifts people’s spirits.
Their 2023 release Natsugiri is a song filled with an honest message to the loved ones who have supported and walked alongside them.
It opens with KENTA’s intimate, conversational vocals and guitar, then bursts into a passionate full-band performance.
The energetic lyrics and melody leave a strong impression, powerful enough to blow away anxieties and frustrations when life isn’t going smoothly.
It’s a rock number that resonates with the resolve to accept failures and mistakes and keep moving forward.
setting sunToukyou Jihen
This song by Tokyo Jihen, with Ringo Sheena on vocals, was released as a B-side to one of their singles and is regarded by fans as a hidden gem.
Ringo Sheena is said to have poured her feelings from when a beloved pet passed away into the song, but I think it portrays a truth that resonates with anyone who has lost someone important.
Fire◎Flowerhalyosy
This is a song created with fireworks in mind.
It carries a message like, “If life fades away like fireworks, I wish I’d never fallen in love,” yet it’s ultimately a passionate love letter that admits, “I still love you.” It’s a love song perfect for listening to in the summer.
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).”
