JunkoKobayashi Akira
Junko, a famous song by Akira Kobayashi released in 1975.
This piece features a melody close to light, tropical-tinged pop—a style favored by artists like Elvis Presley—and it carries a very gentle, calm atmosphere throughout.
Naturally, the tempo is very slow, and while the vocal line is notable for its sustained notes, the pitch movement itself is quite simple.
If you can hold solid long tones in the mid-to-high range and above, you should be able to sing it smoothly without encountering any real difficulties.
Automobile Show SongKobayashi Akira
The classic “Automobile Show Song,” composed as an insert song for the film “The Dice You Threw Call Tomorrow.” As befits film music, it strongly features a comic-song flavor and maintains a cheerful melody throughout.
While it’s classified as kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song), its melody is closer to American pop of the time and doesn’t require the intricate pitch bends typical of kayōkyoku leaning toward enka.
However, there’s one spot right before the chorus begins and one spot within the chorus where a kobushi (ornamental vocal turn) appears, so take care with those parts.
January(yoru to) SAMPO
A quietly resonant song that sinks into the heart on a winter night.
Included on the first EP, “Night and Stroll,” released in January 2020.
It begins with a scene of throwing away withered flowers, then moves through anxieties about the future felt alongside the tolling of New Year’s Eve bells, nostalgic memories, and a sense of dissonance with modern society.
The lyrics, woven from complex emotions, leave a strong impression.
While it may suit the year-end season best, it’s also something you can listen to in January to look back.
It might be perfect for days spent talking at New Year’s gatherings or reunions.
With a deeply mature flavor, this work invites you to listen closely on a quiet night.

hell164
This track is marked by powerful guitar riffs and an intense rhythm.
Created by 164, it was released in July 2024.
It’s an original piece written for the second season of the Kotonoha Project, “BLACK ROSE.” With lyrics themed around human suffering and inner conflict, it’s sure to resonate with people living in modern society.
Combined with its heavy sound, it shakes the listener to the core.
It’s recommended not only for fans of heavy music, but also for those who feel worn out by everyday life.
Jenga40mP
A song by 40mP sung by Miku.
It likens how the years and affection we’ve built up can easily collapse if just one piece is pulled out to a game of Jenga.
Even if what we’ve piled up is a fabrication, each piece of memory is not something that should simply disappear—there’s a faint glimmer of hope in that final note.
Anklet in NovemberAKB48
A bittersweet yet hopeful song that gently accompanies the deepening autumn of November.
Released in November 2017 as AKB48’s 50th single, this track is also known as Mayu Watanabe’s final work with the group.
Its charm lies in the contrast between a light, upbeat melody and heartrending lyrics, with an anklet symbolizing the end of a romance and a new beginning leaving a strong impression.
It sold 1,095,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly CD Single Ranking.
Highly recommended for those who, while sensing the end of autumn, want the courage to take a step toward winter.
