Giant DreamKimura Subaru (Jaian)
Takeshi Gouda is a character from the anime Doraemon, which is popular among elementary school students.
In the story, he is often called by his nickname, Gian.
As for Gian, it’s officially established that he has a “terrible singing voice.” While he can just barely carry a tune, those around him consider his singing so awful that it’s unbearable to listen to.
For elementary schoolers who aren’t confident in their singing, we recommend “Giant Dream”! This is Gian’s debut song as a singer.
Since it’s sung by Gian to begin with, it’s absolutely fine if you go off key.
In fact, being off-key might even make everyone happier!
GG STAND UP!! feat. Takahiro MatsumotoKinashi Noritake
This is the first song released by Noritake Kinashi of Tunnels as a solo artist.
One of its charms is the powerful guitar work by Takahiro Matsumoto, the guitarist of B’z.
As the term “Kinashi Funk” suggests, it carries elements of disco-funk and conveys a laid-back sense of fun.
The world depicted in the lyrics is amusing in a way that reflects Kinashi’s side as a comedian, expressing the aches and ailments that come with age and the way he tries to gloss them over while enjoying his days.

April Fools’ Day in NovemberMatsutōya Yumi
Featured on Yumi Matsutoya’s album “U-miz,” released in November 1993, this song is perfect for November, when the feeling of autumn deepens.
Its arrangement, marked by Latin rhythms, is striking, and it delicately portrays the complex emotions of a woman who has been told it’s over, interweaving autumnal imagery such as the chilly night breeze and fallen ginkgo leaves.
It begins with a scene where the breakup is announced almost like a joke, evoking the protagonist’s turmoil as she wavers between doubt and belief.
A recommended, mature heartbreak song to savor on long autumn nights.
Life Support SongMatsumae Hiroko & Miyama Hiroshi
As an uplifting anthem of hope and courage by a master-and-disciple duo, this work brought a fresh breeze to the Japanese enka scene.

Released in November 2021, it is a warm, message-driven song that resonates not only with enka fans but across generations.

It was included on the June 1986 album “SUPREME,” with Seiko Matsuda herself composing the music.
Paired with lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto, it delicately weaves timeless emotions.
You can feel the protagonist’s aching heart as they recall a former lover from two far-flung places—Paris and the West Coast.
I hope you’ll relate to the way they strive to look forward even while bearing the pain of heartbreak.
