[Songs with Great Lyrics] Masterpieces to savor while listening to words that resonate in your heart (141–150)
waxing; filling up; becoming full; growing (e.g., the moon growing fuller)Fuji Kaze
This is a gem of a love song that Fujii Kaze wrote in March 2024 as the theme for the film “April, Come She Will,” starring Takeru Satoh, which contrasts life’s transience with pure love.
The gentle piano melody is striking, and the song tenderly conveys how the heart becomes fulfilled by letting go of attachment.
In the music video directed by Tomokazu Yamada, Fujii Kaze himself plays a dual role as both an elderly man and a young man, depicting deep love for a mother.
Accompanying life’s precious moments and soothing the soul, this work resonates deeply with those who have experienced heartbreak or parting, or who are struggling with important relationships.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you wish to reflect on yourself while surrendering to the sound of the piano.
wa, wo, nnishina
A soul-stirring number that weaves the complexities of love and life through the Japanese syllabary.
Created by nishina, this piece was released in December 2024.
With a gentle yet fleeting voice, it expresses everything from the love that lies at the root of words to the impermanence and uncertainty of life.
The sound carries elements of neo-soul and alternative R&B, paired with a comfortable melodic line that’s truly lovely.
You might feel an even deeper emotion if you listen while thinking of someone you love.
The End of SummerMoriyama Naotaro
“The End of Summer,” the third single by Naotaro Moriyama, released in 2003.
From the intro, his high, cleansing vocals shine, and the song carries a subtle sense of nostalgia.
Every line of the lyrics is imbued with beautiful language, evoking uniquely Japanese scenery and scenes.
It also brings forth that particular melancholy and wistfulness found at summer’s end, welling up from within.
It calls to mind those slightly cooler days when you can hear the insects begin to sing.
Tears Flowing EndlesslyMoriyama Ryoko
BEGIN composed the music, and Ms.
Moriyama wrote the lyrics.
Tears for You (Nada Sōsō) was first released by BEGIN in 2000.
In 2001, Ms.
Rimi Natsukawa covered it, and it became a big hit.
The song was inspired by Ms.
Moriyama’s feelings for her older brother.
He passed away suddenly when she was young.
Those feelings became the song.
Just listening to it loosens your tear ducts, and the tears start to flow.
AiHata Motohiro
It’s “Ai,” released by Motohiro Hata in 2010.
We kind of understand that “love” is something important, yet no one can find love as a visible, concrete “shape.” Hata beautifully depicts the moments when he personally feels that love.
It’s a song that seems to rephrase love as the changes that arise in your own feelings as someone precious to you smiles or cries.
The acoustic melody gently resonates even more deeply in the heart.
language of flowersNeil
The song “Hanakotoba,” which entrusts friendship to flowers, is a warm, heartening track.
It was released digitally by Warner Music Japan in July 2025.
With lyrics penned by Neil, the magical words that encourage a downcast friend are truly moving.
The refreshingly cool synths and tight beats also bring out the clarity of the vocals.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to believe in a friendship that remains unchanged, even when you’re apart.
earnest desireSUPER BEAVER
You might just come across a song that wraps you in emotions that well up before you know it.
This track by the four-piece rock band SUPER BEAVER is included on their album “Ongaku,” released in February 2024.
It warmly sings about the importance of connections between people and the power of a smile.
Vocalist Ryota Shibuya’s powerful voice really resonates.
True to a band that has created many theme songs for anime and dramas, it’s a track that gently gives listeners a supportive push.
It’s recommended for those struggling with relationships or those who want to make someone happy.
It’s sure to warm your heart.
