It’s a ballad that makes you reflect on the meaning of life and the shape of society.

The song is by Takako Tate, a singer-songwriter from Nagano Prefecture, and it’s included on her 2004 mini-album Sora.

It was used as an insert song in the film Nobody Knows.

If you’ve seen the movie, I think it will resonate with you especially deeply.

Every single word of the lyrics is beautiful—and yet so heavy.

The more carefully you listen, the more it stirs your emotions and brings you to tears.

Teresa Teng, the popular singer known as the “Diva of Asia.” She’s the artist who gained fame with songs like Tsugunai and Aijin.

While Polar Express (Hokkyoku-bin) isn’t one of her major hits, it remains a beloved classic among fans.

It’s a song about parting with a lover, and the lyrics poignantly capture a woman’s aching heart.

The melody is equally heartrending, so if you’re interested, please give it a listen.

It’s perfect for when you want to indulge in a bit of sentimentality!

Composed in 1940 as the theme song for Disney’s film Pinocchio, “When You Wish Upon a Star” has been loved for many years.

It plays in the opening and closing scenes of the film and is a globally famous number that almost everyone has heard at least once.

Its gentle rhythm and romantic melody evoke a starry sky even if you don’t know the story of the movie.

Winning both the Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song, it is one of the signature pieces that symbolize Disney.

Hora, Hora, Horakodoriimingu

The theme song of “Hora Horako,” who looks just like Horror-man and appears in the companion animated short released alongside the 2007 film.

With its playful piano melody, it’s an irresistibly fun tune.

Horako is the Horror Prince’s younger sister and the daughter of the Little Mermaid.

That surprising bit of lore might catch you off guard, but this cute theme song is guaranteed to clear your head—perfect for a good laugh and a good time.

Wish Upon a Star (2018 Summer Samba Version)doriimingu

This is an arranged version of a fan favorite, “Hoshi ni Inoru” (“Praying to the Stars”).

The original is a moving ballad sung tenderly, evoking a winter night sky and Christmas.

In contrast, this one boldly transforms it into a lively summer samba arrangement with a fun, sunny beat.

Even so, the lyrics and parts of the arrangement still evoke winter, making it a rather unique track.

“Leave Me Alone” resonates with a unique sound that crosses over rock and electronica.

Created in 2022 by Nanahoshi Orchestra, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as a guitarist, the track features GUMI’s light, agile vocals layered over an urban-tinged soundscape.

Many listeners may relate to the honest feeling of wanting to be alone while also yearning for someone to stay close.

The trick is to sing along rhythmically, leaning into the rhyme scheme! Why not try singing this cute yet heartrending Vocaloid song?

Let’s go see the stars.Namioka Koutarou

If you’re looking for a song that gently speaks to a friend, I recommend “Hoshi o Mi ni Ikouze” by singer-songwriter Kotaro Namioka, released in 2018.

It delivers a warm message to friends that fits perfectly with natural scenery and emotional moments.

With just acoustic guitar and vocals, it’s also great for focusing on a lyric video.

It’s a track overflowing with feelings for friends who’ve been with you through both good times and hard times.

Let the buoyant acoustic sound take you back through the memorable moments you shared with your friends.
