I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A love ballad that portrays the reunion of two people bound by a powerful fate, with hearts in flux.

This seven-minute epic narrative song, created by Kobukuro shortly after they formed, has drawn attention for its uniquely unparalleled structure.

From the anniversary marking the beginning of their destiny, through their parting, to the anniversary one year later when they are reunited, the lyrics carefully depict their emotions, as if you were reading a romance novel.

In October 2008, the song was covered by actress Yui Aragaki and impressively reached No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

It’s recommended for celebrating a special anniversary with your partner or as a catalyst for mending a relationship after a quarrel.

Kanau Matsumura’s gentle vocals beautifully convey this warm worldview.

Released in October 2024, the song also drew attention for its music video featuring comedian Donguri Takeshi and actress Non Nagisa.

After listening, you might find your partner’s little slip-ups even more endearing than before.

Husband and Wife MirrorsMiyaji Osamu

After the breakup of Tonosama Kings, their vocalist, Osamu Miyaji, released this song as a solo artist in the early 2000s, but it was originally a hit in the 1970s—a song about a married couple.

The opening lyrics convey what marriage was like back then.

It may feel outdated, but perhaps it continues to be sung because the feelings it expresses are something everyone harbors in a corner of their heart for the partner with whom they walk through life.

Sundayback number

back number – Sunday (full)

Sundayback number

A song that gently portrays a calm Sunday morning with a lover.

The voice waking a partner who sleeps almost until noon, the sweet wish to push back mealtime, days content with small happinesses.

More than grand dreams or ideals, the feeling that reexamines the joy of sharing this very moment together resonates deeply.

Released as a single by back number in May 2012, it was used as the theme song for Hokkaido Broadcasting (HBC)’s 60th anniversary commemorative drama “Soup Curry,” starring TEAM NACS, and was later included on the album “blues.” This warm track reminds us that the ordinary moments spent by two people are irreplaceable treasures.
