Songs with titles that start with “Hi.” The vast world of “Hi” (151–160)
Secret FireflyNagai Miyuki
Miyuki Nagai’s “Hibotaru” is set in early-summer Nara, overlaying a fleeting love with fireflies dancing in the dark.
The song moves from a flower-scented daytime scene to a night where fireflies take flight, drawing you into a world that feels like reading a short novel.
A Western-style arrangement that goes beyond traditional enka and the aching timbre of the erhu intertwine exquisitely, evoking the smoldering passion of a secret love.
Nagai’s breathy vocals vividly depict the protagonist burdened with growing feelings, tightening the listener’s heart.
monologueSuga Shikao
While burdened with self-loathing and regret, we can’t help but put on a brave face.
This song by Shikao Suga lays bare that helpless human frailty.
Contrary to its pleasantly jazzy sound, the lyrics—like a spiral of inner monologue—pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.
Released in June 1998 as the B-side to the single “Bokutachi no Hibi,” the track was also featured in a commercial for Ezaki Glico’s Almond Chocolate.
On nights when you’re disheartened by not living up to your ideals, doesn’t listening to this song make you feel as if it’s saying, “And that’s okay,” embracing you just as you are?
As a personSuperfly
Superfly has many songs with a high vocal range, but this one is a cover of SUPER BEAVER, so the range is set lower than in typical Superfly songs.
If you’re a woman who wants to sing SUPER BEAVER’s “Hito to Shite,” the original might feel too low and make it hard to hit the pitches, so singing the Superfly version could make it easier to match the notes and get a higher score.
Listening through the song, it’s structured to build momentum from the A-melody into the chorus.
The last chorus modulates and goes even higher, but if you sing with energy, it becomes easier to project and stay on pitch, so I recommend riding the rhythm as you sing.
PhoenixNakajima Mika
Set to a magnificent orchestral sound, Mika Nakashima’s powerful vocals resonate in this dramatic ballad.
As the ending theme for an NHK TV anime based on Osamu Tezuka’s original work, it was released in June 2004 as her 12th single—so many of you may already know it.
Carried by a fleeting yet beautiful melody, the timelessness of love handed down across time overlaps with the image of a legendary bird that overcomes hardship and is reborn.
The track was later included on the album “MUSIC.” When you want to reflect on the grand flow of life and fate, immerse yourself in this expansive world.
It will surely leave you deeply moved.
HiraethKano
This is a song by Kano, chosen as the theme song for the mystery adventure game “Sofia, in Exchange for Lies,” set to be released in July 2025.
As if reflecting the game’s mysterious worldview, a grand yet somehow heartrending melody unfolds.
The protagonist’s anguished longing to uncover the truth hidden behind lies is conveyed through Kano’s clear, whisper-like vocals.
Her voice delicately paints a nostalgia for what’s lost, tightening your chest.
It might be perfect for a quiet night, when you want to linger in the afterglow of a mysterious story.
Hit Me, ThunderSuchmos
A majestic blues rock number running a full eight and a half minutes, included on the March 2019 album THE ANYMAL.
Its overwhelming presence in live performances has become a hot topic among fans, and the thunderclap-like impact at the Yokohama Stadium show is the stuff of legend.
The song is said to have sprung from YONCE’s genuine belief that “even if we can’t understand each other, there’s meaning in being together.” Rather than demanding perfect understanding, the lyrics simply affirm the other person’s existence, gently embracing hearts tired from complicated human relationships.
It’s the kind of track that, when you listen to it alone on a quiet night, might just fill you with energy for tomorrow.

I Am Setsunaakano wai
This is a duet song by Akano Wai, also known for being selected for the rhythm game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.
Hatsune Miku.
Its grand orchestral sound and the two singers’ beautiful harmonies perfectly match the poignant themes of irreplaceable moments and inevitable farewells.
The worldview—like best friends reminiscing while thinking about the future—warms the heart.
By the time it ends, you’ll feel the courage to look ahead!
