A roundup of Japanese songs whose titles start with 'Ji': from trending tracks to popular hits (11–20)
Just You and INEW!Amuro Namie
This is the theme song for the drama “Becoming a Mother,” starring Erika Sawajiri, released on May 31, 2017.
It’s a euphoric medium-tempo ballad featuring beautifully interwoven strings and piano, with gentle yet resolute vocals.
The overall vocal range is B3 to C#5, and it starts fairly high, so when singing, it may help to keep your throat open and lift your facial muscles to produce a good tone.
Also, singing crisply throughout can make it easier to project your voice, so try to avoid sounding muffled.
Be careful not to just let it drift without intention.
Jewel MemoryNEW!Kaga
A duet song where shimmering memories and bittersweetness intersect.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kaga and released in August 2025.
Its stylish, swing-infused sound sets the stage for two vocals to resonate in beautiful harmony.
Through the voices of KAITO and Hatsune Miku, a psychological drama unfolds in which truth and lies waver.
The interplay between the calm low tones and the transparent highs is outstanding! It might hit the hardest when you’re in love.
Journey of a Lifetime ~ Frieren Main ThemeNEW!Evan Call
This is a piece composed as the main theme that symbolizes the world of the hit anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Crafted by composer Evan Call, the track interweaves a grand orchestra with the timbres of early instruments, simultaneously conveying both nostalgia for time gone by and the exhilaration of adventure.
Released in December 2023, it was included at the beginning of the album “TV Anime ‘Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’ Original Soundtrack,” which came out in April 2024.
Even as a wordless BGM track, its expressive power—evoking the protagonist’s heartrending emotions—will surely overwhelm you.
It’s recommended for moments when you want to linger over past memories or pause along the journey of life.
You in OctoberNEW!Sekitori Hana
There are times when your heart just can’t keep up with the sudden parting from someone dear.
Sung by singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori, this piece is a track from her mini-album “Chūkurai no Hanashi,” released in November 2012.
With a warm, enfolding gentleness, her voice weaves together the sorrow and sense of loss that come from losing someone important without any time to prepare your heart.
True to its title that evokes the season when autumn’s presence can be felt, the song carries a subtly lonely atmosphere, one that naturally overlays itself with the memories of someone you’ve lost.
The restrained, unexplanatory choice of words is part of its charm, allowing it to resonate with each listener’s own experiences.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear when you can’t accept a farewell to someone precious and want to look back on your memories.
Daphne (winter daphne)NEW!DISH//
This popular rock number by DISH// drew attention as a co-written piece by vocalist Takumi Kitamura and Hattori from Macaroni Empitsu.
It delicately portrays the themes of deep affection for someone who is always by your side as you move forward each day, and the importance of having a place to return to.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “The Winner in February: The Classroom of Guaranteed Success,” it was released as a single in November 2021 and is also included on the acclaimed album “TRIANGLE.” The warm, enveloping sound and the buoyant, march-like rhythm feel so pleasant.
Brimming with feelings for cherished friends and family, this song is, in my view, perfect as BGM for a graduation-celebration movie, enhancing touching scenes that invite both smiles and tears.
Hymn to LifeNEW!tuki.
This song portrays the struggles of people living in a world without clear answers and their determination to keep looking forward without losing hope.
Centered on themes of diverse values and an affirmation of life, its bittersweet yet translucent vocals are deeply moving.
It’s a pop-rock ballad that gently stays close to hearts troubled by comparisons with others.
Created by tuki.
in October 2025, the piece was selected as the theme song for the film “Status of a Fool,” starring Takumi Kitamura and others.
It marks their first movie tie-in and beautifully captures the inner landscapes of the story’s characters.
Give it a listen when you’ve pushed yourself too hard by suppressing your true self, or on nights when you feel close to breaking.
Even when faced with an unyielding reality, it will surely give a supportive push to those who wish to keep walking in their own way.

Inferno Love LetterNEW!tuki.
It’s an upbeat tune brimming with madness and affection, where sweet happiness mixes with fierce, resentful emotions.
Riding on a bouncy beat and full band sound, it portrays the contradictory feelings of people who can’t let go of each other even as they keep hurting one another.
You can’t help but be overwhelmed by the expressive power with which it sings—humor and all—of the jealousy and anger that arise precisely because of love.
Released by tuki.
in April 2024, the track was later included on the album “15” and chosen as the theme song for the game “Tokyo Revengers UNLIMITED.” This is a must-listen for anyone being jerked around by someone’s suggestive behavior and stuck with nowhere to put their feelings.
Its uptempo melody will blow away the haze that’s been building up in your heart.
