No Longer HumanGOMESS
Rapper GOMESS, who’s also been making waves in MC battles, is known for a distinctive flow that evokes Shibito.
What many may not know is that GOMESS is autistic.
On top of that, he has panic disorder, and when he first emerged on the scene he was mentally very unstable.
Out of those circumstances came the masterpiece “Ningen Shikkaku” (No Longer Human).
It depicts his resolve to live with autism, which cannot be cured.
This is a must-check work for anyone living with congenital disadvantages.
AndanteYaita Hitomi
It’s an irresistibly cool song about hurling straightforward love at a logical, argumentative man.
I bet many listeners have thought, “I want to be a strong woman like this!” The brisk drum roll at the start pulls you right in.
But maybe the real secret to its popularity is how the lyrics let you feel the sweetness behind that strong woman in every corner.
I can’t help but put it on repeat!
The Regent’s Downfallsadamasashi
Masashi Sada’s classic song “Kanpaku Shikkaku” (“The Deposed Regent”) is the exact opposite of “Kanpaku Sengen.” It depicts the sad father who sits at the very bottom of the family caste.
It’s a very comical piece, and when he performs it, the audience is always laughing.
But it’s not just a funny song.
In the latter half, it sings of the father’s convictions as the family’s breadwinner and his love for his family, despite his low standing.
The lyrics are truly moving, so please listen all the way to the end.
three mon coinsMOROHA
MOROHA is a duo known for the striking, soul-piercing message at the core of their music.
Their signature is a spoken-word style of rap, and their lyrics are highly acclaimed.
Among MOROHA’s tracks, one of the most message-driven pieces is Sanmonzen (“Three Coppers”).
With lyrics that lay bare their lives as struggling, not-yet-famous artists—with nothing hidden—it hits you head-on and inspires you to face your own indulgences and temptations to run away.
Definitely give it a listen.
TOKYOYUI
When it comes to songs that help you take the first step into a new life, YUI’s 2006 release “TOKYO” comes to mind.
Portraying wishes for an unchanging city and the inner conflict of carrying a big resolve, this track deeply resonates with people facing a move or a fresh start.
Accompanied by acoustic guitar, the straightforward words she expressed at just 17 strike a chord.
It’s truly a number I’d recommend for starting out in a new place.
YUI’s refreshing voice is sure to cast a warm light on anxious hearts.
Goodbye, my beloved.Hana＊Hana
A song that can be called a balm for everyone carrying a bittersweet ache—that is Hanahana’s “Goodbye, My Beloved.” Delicately portraying the sadness of parting, this piece pierces the heart deeply, not only for those who’ve experienced heartbreak.
While widely embraced as a breakup song, it’s also known as a melody that comforts the pain of losing someone you love.
This work is especially recommended for anyone who has gone through a separation from someone dear.
With its gentle, unhurried rhythm and softly resonant melody, it will warm and heal the listener’s heart.
The Day of DepartureJULEPS
Tabidatsu Hi (The Day of Departure) is the debut single released in 2007 by the piano-and-chorus group JULEPS.
It was also used as the theme song for the anime The Elephant’s Back: The Day of Departure and has been gaining popularity on TikTok alongside its animation.
The lyrics honestly capture the feelings when one is told of the inevitable end of life, and the phrases imbued with kindness toward the family left behind are especially memorable.
Their vocals, delivering warm harmonies over a beautiful piano melody, are soothing as well.
Please lend an ear to this gently resonant message—poignant yet heartwarming—that will surely touch your heart.
