“hope” is an unrequited love song packed with the simple wish to just be with the person you like.

The lyrics convey that, even while feeling cornered by a love that won’t go the way you want, it still makes you feel “it has to be that person.” It poignantly speaks for the small wishes of those in one-sided love.

This song can apply to many forms of unrequited love—before confessing your feelings, or for a former partner after a breakup.

Listening to it while you’re in unrequited love will make you empathize and cry, yet it’s also a supportive song that can make you feel like you want to share your feelings.

Sung by Mayumiinu, a singer who has worked on numerous commercial jingles, this song is perfect for conveying a mother’s feelings of “Thank you for being born” to her child.

If it sounds familiar, that’s because it was used in a Moony commercial! The lyrics overflow with love from start to finish, and as you listen, you’ll likely find your own child even more precious.

For a first birthday, the scenes of mother and baby depicted in the lyrics may resonate especially well.

HOLD ME TIGHTraji

Rajie – HOLD ME TIGHT (1977)
HOLD ME TIGHTraji

Known as a landmark of late-1970s city pop, this work was created with composition and arrangement by Yukihiro Takahashi and lyrics by Machiko Ryu.

Its urbane, sophisticated sound blends beautifully with Raji’s clear, translucent vocals.

It was released as a single in September 1977 and was also included on the album “Heart To Heart,” which came out around the same time.

The B-side features “Ai wa Tabun,” which was used in a Nissan Skyline commercial.

The lyrics delicately portray the ache of love and the loneliness of the night, resonating deeply with people living in the city.

It’s a classic that’s perfect for a nighttime drive or for relaxing with music on a quiet evening.

Interstellar FlightRanka Rī

The insert song from Macross F sung by Megumi Nakajima is a passionate piece that portrays a grand tale of love and adventure set in space.

It symbolically expresses a soul yearning for freedom and the young people who challenge the boundless universe.

You can feel a longing for a future filled with love and hope.

Released in 2008, the song has been widely embraced for its profound, resonant message.

Against the backdrop of space’s limitless possibilities, it beautifully sings of humanity’s smallness, beauty, and strength—truly a masterpiece.

Why not listen to it with someone special and share your dreams? You’re sure to have a wonderful time!

La Vie en Rose is a rock band from Ibaraki Prefecture.

Since their formation in 1994, they have worked across a variety of genres.

The band’s concept has also evolved over time—depending on the period, they have been a heavy metal band or a visual kei band.

I hope you’ll explore the group’s history and enjoy those changes.

Overall, they have many straight-ahead tracks characterized by a robust, hard-hitting sound.

Their performances can get even more intense—be sure to enjoy them together with the live footage.

Ryoku to Soinenegrohan is a band formed when all the members were still in their teens.

Their signature Christmas song is “home.” The bell-accented melody alone heightens that festive Christmas excitement as you listen.

The lyrics portray the happiness of having a place to return to.

Since it’s not a love song, it should be easy to sing with friends, too.

And with its relaxed tempo, I think it’s perfect for singing with multiple people.

White outRīgaru Rirī

Here’s Regal Lily’s winter song “White out,” beloved for its nostalgic atmosphere.

It’s included on their first mini-album “the Post,” released in 2016.

The simple lyrics, which conjure a pure white snowy landscape before your eyes, are delivered dramatically by vocalist Honoka Takahashi’s delicate, ephemeral voice, and the straightforward performance that carries it really touches the heart.

It’s a song that accompanies the quiet winter air and feelings of loneliness.
