At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
It’s one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs and is beloved as an anthem that cheers you on in life.
His gentle voice and the catchy melody leave a strong impression, making it so familiar that anyone can hum along.
The lyrics convey the message that “it’s important to believe in yourself so you can stay true to who you are, no matter what.” It may seem obvious, but it’s something we tend to forget when we’re struggling.
The warm words that restore your confidence move you beyond words.
Close your eyesHirai Ken
This is a song that became a huge hit after being used as the theme for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” It sings of recalling a beloved person who isn’t there before you, and of feeling that love forever.
The lyrics, which teach us the beauty of loving someone, together with Ken Hirai’s vocals, are nothing short of moving.
HANAKurabe Takuya
Lyrics that speak of a love so straightforward—so pure, one might even call it too beautiful—born from the wish to love wholeheartedly because someday it will disappear, are sure to move us deeply.
The simple accompaniment and whisper-like vocals leave a strong impression, heightening the emotion even further.
If you listen while placing the story depicted in the lyrics onto your own life, tears may begin to flow naturally.
contrailArai Yumi
“Hikoukigumo” is the title track from Yumi Matsutoya’s 1973 debut album Hikoukigumo, and it’s one of her signature songs from the era when she performed as Yumi Arai.
The album itself is a masterpiece packed with Matsutoya’s charm.
In 2013, “Hikoukigumo” was chosen as the theme song for Hayao Miyazaki’s film The Wind Rises and was re-released as a digital-only single, bringing it back into the spotlight.
Its connection to the film—which portrays an aviation engineer during wartime—makes it an unforgettable, moving classic.
It’s a song I highly recommend listening to alongside the film!

far; distant; by farGReeeeN
Haruka, released in 2009 by the hugely popular vocal group GReeeeN, is well known as a classic graduation song.
It was used as the theme song for the hit drama ROOKIES’ film adaptation, ROOKIES: Graduation.
The song expresses gratitude toward the family and friends who have supported us up to now.
Many people move away from their hometown after graduating.
When you’re busy every day in a new place, it’s easy to start feeling worn out.
Listening to this song at such times will surely bring to mind the faces of the people you love and make you think, “I’ll do my best again.”
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.

Its acoustic guitar-centered, gentle tone evokes the sense of quietly murmuring one’s emotions.
