I long to see you now.MISIA
Released as MISIA’s 23rd single, it was selected as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama series “JIN: Jin.” Although we’re apart and can’t meet, there are so many things we want to say and convey.
Even though we can talk on the phone in this day and age, this gem of a song makes you realize the importance of meeting in person, seeing each other’s faces, and talking.
to livehannya
Hannya is a legend in the hip-hop scene—arguably the worst and best MC in rap history.
His tracks are packed with lyrics that pierce the heart, and even his comedic songs carry deep messages.
One of his masterpieces is “Ikiru” (To Live).
It highlights the so-called “ordinary” things hidden in everyday life, and teaches us—through punchlines—that the only way to achieve growth and success is by tackling each of those ordinary tasks, one by one.
If you need something to fire you up, definitely give it a listen.

graceful wavinessNoda Yojiro
This is a song composed by Yojiro Noda as the theme for the Netflix film “Parade.” It gently accompanies the story of a family separated, conveying a deep, heartfelt longing for loved ones.
With Noda’s signature choice of words, it expresses farewells and reunions in life, as well as unconditional love.
The film’s themes of loss and hope are clearly reflected in the song’s worldview.
It’s sure to be a moving track that anyone can relate to.
Why not listen to it when you’re going through tough or sad times, while thinking of someone important to you?
AlbaSuda Keina
People say he evolves from Balloon to Keina Suda with each new release.
By now, many listeners feel that the songs he sings himself are compelling precisely because they’re woven together by his own voice.
The song he released in June 2020 features lyrics that seem to question the depths of our hearts—part of its appeal.
It came out just as the stay-at-home period due to COVID-19 had begun to ease, and although that wasn’t the original intention, its lyrics that gently support our weakened hearts became a talking point.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
Since forming in 2007, SEKAI NO OWARI has continued to captivate fans with their distinctive worldview.
Their song “Habit,” released in 2022, drew attention as the theme song for the film “Holics xxxHOLiC.” Focusing on humanity’s “habit of categorization,” the track warns how that behavior can cause us to lose sight of individuality and diversity.
Its mysterious tone aligns perfectly with director Mika Ninagawa’s seductive cinematic aesthetic.
The lyrics advocate stepping out of one’s personal “box” and recognizing one’s own diversity—messages that resonate deeply with listeners.
It’s especially recommended for those facing struggles or worries.
Let this song give you the courage to seek your own path.
It’s fine.Urufuruzu
When tough and painful things happen one after another, people can’t help but overthink.
Everyone has their own way of breaking through those situations, but I believe becoming a little more optimistic works for anyone.
“Eenenn,” a classic by Ulfuls, is a song about the importance of staying optimistic.
Rather than a coercive message of “this is what you should do,” its stance of “for now, just try doing things the way you want” gently loosens the tightly wound strings of the heart.
Cheer up!Takeuchi Mariya
Please play this song for your best friend who’s feeling down! It’s a classic meant to encourage a friend you want to tell, “Cheer up,” so you can laugh together again someday.
Its gentle, heart-melting vocals will captivate many people, regardless of gender.
