Kazuyoshi Yoshi - Trembling Sweet Sighs

Kazuya Yoshii, a musician who has long led Japan’s rock scene.

Released in October 2025, this work was written as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama DEEP: “From Here on Out, It’s Hell.” Its deeply layered sound—blending elements of Showa-era kayokyoku and R&B—beautifully complements the drama’s world, which centers on forbidden love and desire.

The string and horn arrangements by Motoki Funayama and Takashi Tsurutani add brilliance, while the deliberately spacious structure leaves a distinctive afterglow.

Heartbeat of the Stars

The bittersweetness of youth and the wavering of first love are portrayed atop a clear, translucent melody.

It’s a track by Kohanaramu, slated for digital release in October 2025, and it’s been selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni Dake Uzai” (My Friend’s Little Sister Is Only Annoying to Me).

The lyrics capture feelings of being unable to be honest even when you’re close, and the emotions that tremble deep in your chest, closely reflecting the heart of someone in love.

The arrangement also carries a nostalgic touch that feels wonderfully comforting.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling timid about love.

This is a work released in April 2025 by singer-songwriter Shota Shimizu, beloved for his sweet love songs.

While strongly reflecting his roots in gospel and R&B, the piece is crafted with a restrained, minimal sound.

Over its gentle arrangement, Shimizu’s vocals—highlighting his warm lower register—resonate beautifully, making it a standout track.

The background detail that it samples a song by renowned gospel producer Shaun Martin further conveys his deep respect for the genre.

Its message—singing of the sweetness of love that quietly stays by your side amid the struggles of everyday life and the bittersweetness of living—will surely sink deep into the heart.

Also included on the album “Pulsatilla cernua,” it’s a song best savored late at night.
