A roundup of Japanese songs with titles starting with “Ji.” From trending tracks to popular hits (71–80)
Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline
The bittersweet dance beat of “Just Be Friends.” Since the tempo isn’t too fast, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.
Among Vocaloid songs, the melody line is very simple, and the fact that it doesn’t feel so typically “Vocaloid” might also make it easier to sing.
It’s a dance track that makes your body want to move, so lightly riding the rhythm while you sing will help you relax and make it easier to stay on pitch.
Be careful not to move too exaggeratedly, or you’ll throw off the groove! Also, singing as if you’re speaking in a polite, outward-facing voice will help keep your pitch stable, so it’s recommended!
Japan’s art history: O-bo-e-ma-SHOW!Juufuuutei Raden
Raden Juufutei, who has a deep love for traditional performing arts and fine art and works as a member of the VTuber group ReGLOSS.
Released in December 2025, this work is a unique mnemonic song that lets you enjoyably learn Japanese art history to a rhythm.
Set to a sprightly melody crafted by singer-songwriter Bocchi Boromaru, the barrage of art terms spanning from the Jomon period to the present is truly impressive.
With an overwhelming amount of information that could even help with test prep and lyrics filled with a passionate desire to carry culture into the future, it sparks listeners’ intellectual curiosity.
It’s an outstandingly entertaining pop tune that’s perfect not only as a study companion but also as an ideal gateway into the world of art.

It’s also included on the album AwakEVE, capturing the band’s momentum as they push toward the next stage.
When you feel crushed by mock exam results or daily pressure, it has the energy to fire you up—reminding you, “You can do more.” It’s an empowering anthem we hope every exam taker who wants to break their limits and seize success will listen to.

Pancakes in HellUesaka Sumire
Sung by Sumire Uesaka, this pop tune is included on her 2018 album “No Future Vacances.” It was used as the ending theme for the anime “Hozuki’s Coolheadedness,” which humorously portrays the denizens of hell.
The playful mismatch between the frightening setting of “hell” and the sweet treat of “pancakes” is delightful, unfolding a worldview where bite and cuteness coexist.
While Setsubun customarily involves driving out ogres by scattering beans, listening to this song—where cheerful oni spring to mind—might just make you want to sit down with the person playing the ogre and share some sweets together.
Even hell’s judgment depends on you.Jigoku no Sata Ōruzutāzu
Jigoku no Sata All Stars’ “Jigoku no Sata mo Kimi Shidai” lets you enjoy a cheerful hellish life to the rhythms of ska and bon odori.
Released in February 2014, it was used as the opening theme for season 1 of the TV anime Hozuki’s Coolheadedness.
Over the lively sound crafted by the instrumental band YOUR SONG IS GOOD, the main characters sing comically in a festive, party-like number.
It’s irresistibly catchy—once you hear it, it sticks in your head and is sure to get your body moving!

We all have those memories from our youth—walking past flowers by the roadside without even knowing their names, feelings we never quite managed to express.
Hinatazaka46’s new work sets those unfinished emotions and the moment of graduation—one chapter ending—against a beautiful mid-tempo melody.
It’s the first original song for the 5th generation, included on the single “Love yourself!” released in May 2025.
With the center Aimi Ono and the other members delivering raw, wistful vocals, the song gently wraps around those wordless feelings deep in your heart.
Its blue-themed visual world also drew attention.
It’s a song that will stay close to you when you want to pause in the season of farewells and look back, or when you need courage to take a new step forward.

Its positive message—affirming youth behind masks and days under restrictions, and vividly coloring the life that begins now—really strikes a chord.
