A compilation of Japanese songs with titles starting with 'Ji' (じ), from trending tracks to fan favorites (161–170)
Wandering Love SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
People in their early 40s belong to a generation for whom laid-back, Unicorn-style rock was trendy, while those in their late 40s grew up exposed to more masculine rock as well.
Many of you may even have listened to Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s songs.
With that in mind, I recommend “Junrenka.” This piece incorporates some folk elements and is arranged primarily in the lower-mid to mid vocal range throughout.
Although a slightly higher phrase appears toward the end of the chorus, it still sits around the mid-high range, so you should hardly encounter any issues from a vocal production standpoint.
Gee Gee TRAINToukyou Gegegay
A hopeful dance track created as an homage to the 1991 classic “Choo Choo TRAIN.” Released by Tokyo Gegegay in May 2025, it drew attention for its co-choreography with BE:FIRST’s RYUHEI.
It carries a forward-looking message: “Even if you can’t catch the train you wanted, keep walking,” and its sound fuses coolness with passion in a way that electrifies.
When you face setbacks or hardships, this song might just give you a push forward.
