Originally, yama started out posting cover songs, but she also produces her own original tracks.
Like “Haru wo Tsugeru,” this song was written and composed by Kujira, yet it has a completely different vibe from “Haru wo Tsugeru”! It features a very mature sound—a sophisticated track with a cool, black music-inspired groove.
If you’ve been looking for something stylish among calmer songs, this one is a perfect fit.

This song was chosen as the theme for the drama “Only Just Married.” It’s a work by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture, released as a single in 2021.
The lyrics, which convey the pure sentiment of “No one thinks about you more than I do,” really hit home.
The gentle sound arrangement and Aimyon’s soft voice deepen that message even further.
Be sure to give this heartwarming pure-love song a listen.
Rhythm 64aimyon
A number by Aimyon that evokes a relaxed sense of time.
Released as a digital single in February 2024, it was created as the official song for Shiseido Beauty Wellness.
The lyrics, themed around life’s choices and the happiness found within them, resonate deeply.
This work is filled with Aimyon’s signature delicate emotional expression and distinctive worldview.
It’s perfect for a reflective moment—like time spent in a stylish café or a nighttime walk.
Why not immerse yourself in the world of this song, where complex emotions intertwine?
Until I know loveaimyon
If you ever feel like, “I just can’t get energized today…,” listening to this will surely spark your motivation.
It’s a song by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture, released in 2021 as her 11th single, “Until I Know Love / On the Night When Cherry Blossoms Fall.” It was used as the theme song for the drama “Konto ga Hajimaru.” The bright, uplifting groove makes you want to sway along, and Aimyon’s strong, steady vocals are irresistible.
You can feel your heart warm as you listen.

Before you become a memorysupittsu
For those who enjoy melodic pop and folk, I recommend “Kimi ga Omoide ni Naru Mae ni.” It was released in 1993 by the rock band Spitz and was used as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s “Motto Suteki ni!” The nostalgic guitar tones are striking and evoke the end of a bittersweet romance.
Masamune Kusano’s high, sorrowful vocals are also memorable.
Its gentle melody will slowly soothe your tired heart.
If you’re looking for a mid-tempo ballad, give it a listen.
LoopKamishiraishi Mone
With a voice full of kindness and warmth, Mone Kamishiraishi’s songs gently accompany listeners’ hearts.
Serving as the theme song for the three-week special drama “Rotating While Revolving,” it was released digitally in December 2023.
Centered on themes of everyday beauty and love for existence itself, the lyrics strikingly embrace the cycle of life with a positive outlook.
Beginning with quiet natural imagery, it conveys gratitude for the days that repeat.
Though the tempo is unhurried, the melody resonates deeply.
Amid its calm atmosphere, it also imparts a sense of forward-looking strength.
It’s the perfect track for when you want to soothe a tired heart or spend time reflecting on yourself.
