When it comes to graduation season, while many songs are tear-jerking ballads, this track—with its exuberantly bright and breezy melody coloring the farewell—gave us a fresh shock back then, didn’t it? Released in February 1986 as Onyanko Club’s third single, it was created to mark member Miharu Nakajima’s graduation and became a massive hit, earning the group their first No.

The upbeat message penned by Yasushi Akimoto has the power to turn the sadness of parting into smiles.

Yuma, a member of the YouTuber group Com.Dotto who is also gaining attention for his solo work, released this track in November 2023, featuring sounds that evoke winter cityscapes and the jingle of bells.
The lyrics, which portray the feelings of unrequited love—harboring affection yet unable to take a step forward—resonate with a heart swaying beneath the cold sky and are sure to tug at your chest.
With unadorned, true-to-life words and a vocal delivery that feels like a gentle conversation, it’s a mid-tempo number that stays close to the listener’s heart.
The song is also included on his first album, “Try & Error,” released in November 2024, and is embraced as a love song that colors the season.
On nights when you want to confess your feelings to someone special but can’t find the courage, lend an ear to this melody that brings warmth.
THE ABYSSHyde
HYDE, who has served as the frontman for L’Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS and performs on the world stage.
Released on his birthday, January 29, 2026, this work is a grand ballad and the third installment in a trilogy that deepens the world of “silence.” The weighty yet delicate sound backed by an orchestra, together with vocals whose very breaths feel as if they rise from the depths of an abyss, cannot help but shake the listener to the core.
The crisp, beautiful atmosphere of the footage shot in Salzburg, Austria also colors the song, serving as a crucial key to the story that leads into the next album, “JEKYLL.” On a night when you wish to face questions without answers and quietly reflect on yourself, why not immerse yourself in it alone?
The Answernaniwa danshi
While Naniwa Danshi are strongly associated with the sparkling image of classic idols, some of their songs carry a mysterious allure.
One I especially recommend is The Answer.
Released in April 2022 as their second single, it’s also known as the theme song for the drama The Files of Young Kindaichi, starring Shunsuke Michieda.
The dark-fantasy soundscape—woven from majestic strings and a driving, fast-paced beat—draws listeners straight into the story.
Its first-week sales of about 535,000 copies testify to the excitement at the time.
You’ll be captivated by their cool expressions, a striking contrast to their usual bright smiles.
It’s the perfect track for a stimulating night or when you want to sink into a dramatic mood.

This is Yui Asaka’s fifth single, released in September 1986.
It was used as the commercial song for “Snow Brand Yogurt,” in which she appeared, and was later included on the album “Star Lights.” Although the title references Christmas, the song endearingly portrays a world not of the day itself, but of an impatient, budding love and a promise made a little early.
