October birthdaysSuga Shikao
The words woven by Shikao Suga sink deeply into the heart.
On a certain day in October, the feverish protagonist wakes and remembers “your” birthday—a work where past memories and the present intersect.
Lost time, feelings for a precious person, and both strength and fragility.
This piece is included on the album “Sugarless III,” released in December 2021.
It commemorates the 25th anniversary of Shikao Suga’s debut.
Please take your time and listen closely.
The Legend of Jim & JaneChekkāzu
This is a refreshing yet bittersweet song that looks back on memories and promises with someone important who has gone their own way.
Released as a single in 1988, it was later included on the album “SCREW.” The lyrics—said to be influenced by the manga Hot Road—are a notable highlight, vividly evoking youthful scenes centered around motorcycles.
The sound even incorporates motorcycle engine noises, emphasizing a sense of power and the exhilarating rush of youth.
While it conjures images of clear, breezy landscapes, its gentle rhythm makes it a song you can sing in a relaxed manner, focusing on pitch and nuance.
Heartbroken over JuliaChekkāzu
The Checkers’ fifth single sets a bittersweet love story to a beautiful melody.
Released in November 1984, it vividly portrays the protagonist’s sense of loss and the faint memories of two people who met in the city.
The song reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and also topped the 1985 year-end ranking.
It was featured in the 2019 drama “Your Turn to Kill,” resonating across generations.
It’s a recommended track for soothing the pain of heartbreak or reminiscing about precious moments with a loved one.

The Road Gelsomina WalkedTeresa Ten
When it comes to Teresa Teng, she is widely acclaimed for works imbued with a sense of melancholy, but among them, the one I particularly recommend for its refined gravitas is The Road Gelsomina Walked.
While the song is categorized as kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song), it features a passionate melody somewhat reminiscent of chanson or bolero.
In contrast to that fervent melody, the vocal line is crafted to be quite narrow in range and monotonous.
Toward the end of the A section, a technique appears that is closer to a Western-style vocal riff than to traditional kobushi ornamentation, making this piece one of her works with especially strong Western influences.
Tree-Lined Road of Lifedikku mine
Dick Mine’s “Jinsei no Namikimichi” (The Tree-Lined Road of Life) is a classic that portrays the bond between siblings and the hope that helps us overcome life’s hardships.
It was created in 1937 as the theme song for the Nikkatsu film “The Prosecutor and His Sister,” yet it shines with its own distinct brilliance thanks to its dramatic lyrics and beautiful melody.
I believe it’s a piece that will undoubtedly resonate with older adults who have weathered many difficulties in life.
The loneliness and sorrow of leaving one’s hometown—and the strength to find hope beyond them.
Such universal messages give courage to people of all generations living today.
A woman aloneDyūku Eisesu
Duke Aces’ “Onna Hitori” (“A Woman Alone”) is a captivating song where Ryoku Eiji’s delicate lyrics and Tak Izumi’s beautiful melody are perfectly matched.
Set against Kyoto’s atmospheric landmarks, it carefully portrays the subtle emotions of a woman weary from love.
Released in 1965 as part of the “Nihon no Uta” series, the song has been beloved by many for years.
Its relatively narrow vocal range makes it easy to try at karaoke.
It’s recommended not only for women troubled by romance but also for anyone who wants to let their thoughts drift to the streets of Kyoto.
Caligula on the G Stringnanaemu
Be sure to check out this stylish, razor-sharp rock number.
Nana-M, a group formed by characters from the YouTube channel “Tsukareta Ore to Kurokami Shinrei Soudansho,” which features animated videos, released “Caligula on the Battlefield G” in July 2023 under that name.
Its addictive sound arrangement, with a subtly mature vibe, is a major draw.
Unpredictable song developments are another highlight—it’s a cool, electrifying Vocaloid track!
