This song might be perfect for those nights when you’re too excited about tomorrow to fall asleep.
It’s one of the signature tracks by Quruli, a rock band from Kyoto, released in 2001 as their seventh single.
The understated band sound pairs beautifully with vocalist Shigeru Kishida’s unadorned singing, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
When your excitement keeps you wide awake—that fluttering feeling—this song will gently embrace it.
Focus on the sound and try closing your eyes.

This song was featured in a Panasonic commercial.
It’s a work by Kyoto-born singer-songwriter Ayano Tsuji, included on her seventh album, “Nijiiro no Hana Sakihokoru Toki,” released in 2010.
The lyrics, which straightforwardly express love for someone special, are striking, and combined with Tsuji’s gentle voice, they bring a sense of calm.
The piano-forward soundscape also makes it perfect for drifting off to sleep.
It’s a blissful ballad that feels like it will bring sweet dreams.

A smash-hit ballad by Sukima Switch, an artist celebrated for their beautifully resonant high-tone vocals and known for composing theme songs for hugely popular anime.
The song expresses a heartfelt resolve to protect a loved one, and its slow tempo makes it a great choice as background music for sleep.

For those who find themselves overthinking even after crawling into bed, I recommend the song “Mirai Hana.” It was released in 2018 by the music duo Sukima Switch, known for crafting catchy tunes anyone can enjoy.
Its warm sound—built on a jazzy piano accompaniment and vocals—really strikes a chord.
The song overflows with pure feelings that paint a “future” with someone special.
You’ll also get to fully appreciate Takuya Ohashi’s wide vocal range.
On sleepless nights, it’s especially nice to let these gentle vocals wash over you.
Before you become a memorysupittsu
On sleepless nights, you often feel like listening to a gentle voice with healing effects, don’t you? For those moments, I recommend the song “Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni.” It was released in 1993 by the rock band Spitz, known for delivering nostalgic tracks with a unique worldview.
The warm melody line unfolding at a leisurely tempo is memorable, with the band’s performance centered around softly floating guitar tones.
Masamune Kusano’s clear, translucent vocals will soothe your heart.
Give this song a listen to wrap your nighttime worries and loneliness in comfort.
