Songs with titles that start with “Hi.” The vast world of “Hi” (61–70)
I stopped being alone.Yano Akiko
Akiko Yano’s “Hitoribocchi wa Yameta,” with its distinctive piano and conversational vocals that sink into the heart, is a very warm song filled with a positive resolve to cut ties with loneliness and connect with the people who matter.
Released as a single in July 1999, it was chosen as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film “My Neighbors the Yamadas.” It was also included on the album “Go Girl,” released the same year.
Alongside the film’s gentle atmosphere, this classic reminds us of the preciousness of everyday life.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, and the melody flows like casual speech, so even those who aren’t confident in their singing can relax and enjoy it.
Hum it when you’re feeling lonely or need courage, and you’ll likely feel your heart grow lighter!
triggerSera Masanori & Tsuisto
This is a rock number that passionately sings about a dangerous, tantalizing game of love, delivered with Masanori Sera’s husky vocals.
Released in 1978 as their third single, it became a massive hit, setting an astonishing record by holding the No.
1 spot on the TV show “The Best Ten” for 10 consecutive weeks.
There’s also a tough, rebellious anecdote from the time: the band reportedly declined the Newcomer Award at the Japan Record Awards, reflecting their defiant spirit.
Years later, it was used as background music for a segment on Fuji TV’s “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!,” so many people have probably heard it.
Give it a listen when you want to blow away your frustrations!
Hymn to LifeMuramatsu Takatsugu
The original piece—whose majestic orchestral sonorities and crystal-clear boy-choir harmonies stir the soul—has been self-covered on piano by the composer himself.
Created by Takatsugu Muramatsu, a composer renowned for numerous film scores, it’s a truly grand number worthy of being called a “hymn to life.” Produced as the main theme for Mitsubishi Mirai-kan’s “JOURNEY TO LIFE” at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, it reportedly brought together over 100 performers.
The beautiful melodies born from the collaboration with the UK boy-soprano unit LIBERA are so captivating that even rendered on solo piano, they’ll make you pause your work to listen.
Why not give it a try when you’re a little tired from studying or working, and want to quietly restore vitality to your heart?
sunflowerAdo
This work is marked by a melody that evokes summer scenes, blending warmth and bittersweet emotion.
Released as a digital single in July 2023, it was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “18/40: If We’re Together, Dreams and Love Too.” Ado dramatically portrays the protagonist’s feelings—wishing to live straight toward the sun like someone they admire—by shifting from delicate breaths to a powerful vocal delivery.
Its forward-looking message about wanting to change oneself will gently yet firmly push listeners onward.
The melody itself is catchy and easy to remember, making it perfect for karaoke as a song to sing with emotion.
Give it a listen when you’re thinking of someone important or when you need a little courage.
I Sing a Love Song to You Across a Hundred Years. feat. aixeNatsunose
Composer Natsunose, known for creating songs that evoke nostalgic scenes, has gained widespread popularity.
Released in December 2025 as a collaboration with Yozora Fuyuno’s novel “A Song of Love to You Across a Hundred Years,” this piece recreates in reality the song written by the story’s protagonist.
Featuring vocalist aixe, the track blends her crystal-clear voice with the heartrending narrative in a delicate harmony.
The lyrics, which express feelings that transcend time, may grip your heart even more deeply when listened to after reading the novel.
It’s an emotional song that invites you to fully immerse yourself in its world.
As a personKaientai
When it comes to the theme song of “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B” Season 2, this is probably the track many people think of.
Following their previous smash hit, this single by Kaientai was released in November 1980.
Much like the drama’s worldview, which tackled social issues of the time, it explores a profound theme: acknowledging human weakness and folly, yet choosing to love and live on.
The introspective lyrics by Tetsuya Takeda and the warm, heartfelt melody crafted by the members truly resonate.
It may not be a flashy anthem, but it’s a timeless classic you’ll find yourself wanting to listen to at life’s turning points—such as graduation—when you pause and reflect.
Now that we’re adults, why not listen to it again and see how it mirrors your own life?
You are not aloneSEVENTEEN
Even when we’re apart, our hearts are connected—that warm message is at the core of SEVENTEEN’s “Not Alone.” Released in April 2021, it’s their third Japanese single.
Originally written for fans during a time when it was hard to meet, the song also deeply resonates with couples starting a long-distance relationship after graduation and friends heading down separate paths.
Its lyrics make you believe that, despite physical distance, hearts can stay close, and the gentle, layered voices of the 13 members will quietly support you when you feel uncertain.
No matter how far apart you are, it gives you the courage to take a new step forward with the hope that you’ll surely meet again.
After the graduation ceremony, as you set off for your respective places, listen to it while thinking of the people who matter to you.
