Songs with titles starting with “Hi”. The vast world of “Hi” (21–30)
monologueOmoinotake
This is a song released in April 2025 by Omoinotake, a three-piece band from Shimane Prefecture.
It was written as the ending theme for the second cour of season 2 of the anime The Apothecary Diaries.
An evocative mid-tempo ballad with an oriental flair, it poignantly conveys the regret of failing to notice a loved one’s true feelings and the ache of words that never reach them.
Reo Fujii’s emotional vocals powerfully express that loneliness and the longing for reunion.
Following their 2024 smash hit Infinite Light Years, this highly anticipated track is set for a CD release in May.
It’s a perfect pick for anyone seeking timeless, universal sentiments—or for a night when you want a wistful ballad to cleanse the heart.
A Lonely Graduation CeremonyMita Hiroko
Released in January 1983, Hiroko Mita’s fourth single is a breakup song that overlays the end of a romantic relationship with the word “graduation.” Rather than a school ceremony, it strikingly portrays the resolve to cut ties with a partner.
Instead of collapsing in tears, the lyrics bid farewell with a touch of irony and stubborn pride, exuding a mature wit that was unusual for idol pop of the time.
Lyrics are by Yoko Aki, and the composition by Akira Mitake—also known in the technopop sphere—features an urban sound that pairs a kayōkyoku-style melody with prominent synthesizers.
It’s an ambitious work that presents a slightly edgy portrayal of a young woman, not just pure sweetness.
The single peaked at No.
58 on the Oricon charts and was included in the 2017 release GOLDEN☆BEST Complete Singles.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to look back on the bittersweet end of a romance at the start of spring.

Dwelling of LightYasuda Rei
Just as gemstones are formed over eons, people too spend long years discovering a brilliance that is uniquely their own.
Carrying that message, Rei Yasuda’s track has been selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Ruri no Houseki” starting in July 2025.
Interweaving natural motifs like wind and rain, the song expresses a determined desire to seek what one lacks and someday reach a place filled with light.
Her clear, transparent vocals ride atop a grand soundscape, resonating with a warmth that gently encourages the listener.
It’s a song we especially want to share with those facing the milestone of graduation and about to set off on a new path.
Why not walk your journey of slowly discovering your true self together with this piece?
A Lonely Graduation CeremonyAsaka Yui
On the morning of graduation, feelings that end without ever being spoken—here’s a song that Yui Asaka renders with delicate nuance.
Included on the album “Star Lights,” released in February 1987, the record marked a major leap in her career, peaking at No.
8 on the Oricon charts.
This track is a gently paced ballad that carefully sketches scenes of school life—classroom seats, yearbook messages—while quietly tracing the emotions of someone who couldn’t confess their love.
Though not showy, its structure beautifully conveys the spring atmosphere and the subtle flutter in one’s chest.
It’s a number that gently stands beside anyone facing graduation, and anyone carrying feelings they couldn’t put into words.
Protect the Lightsupittsu
As the opening theme song for the anime “SPY×FAMILY Season 3,” which began airing on TV Tokyo and other networks in October 2025, Spitz has created a brand-new track.
The production features the band alongside Seiji Kameda, and it’s marked by guitar lines that seem to sing, a thick, weighty bass, expansive drums, and colorful touches of horns and organ that together create a rich sound.
Masamune Kusano says the lyrics refuse to turn away from the sorrow that runs beneath the work, while still cherishing a vector toward hope.
Formed in 1987 and making their major-label debut in 1991, Spitz has released numerous classics like “Robinson” and “Cherry.” This new song has the driving power of a marching tune, steadily pushing forward, and it’s sure to spark a sing-along if performed as entertainment.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to liven up a party with a Spitz number!
Song of the ChickHalf time Old
A four-piece rock band based in Nagoya, Aichi, Half time Old released this track on their October 2020 mini-album CRISP YELLOW.
It’s a youthful punk number that races forward on an 8-beat drive, filled with a warmth that gives you a gentle push during the season of farewells.
The lyrics are memorable for their message that reassures you—“You’re not wrong”—even as you carry anxiety and loneliness about setting off on a new journey.
The music video is composed of cherished photos submitted by fans, designed to overlap with each listener’s own memories.
It’s a song that naturally sparks singalongs at shows, and if you raise your voices together at a graduation concert or a farewell party, it’s bound to become an unforgettable moment.
More than just a tearjerker, it’s a pep song that gives you the strength to step forward with a smile.

ill.bell’s wordcraft merges with FAKE TYPE.’s DYES IWASAKI’s danceable sound, standing out with a design that assumes call-and-response and shout-along sections.
