Songs with titles starting with 'Ka' (191–200)
Graduation of Unrequited LoveAKB48
Let me introduce an AKB48 number that marks the passage of time at graduation and portrays an unspoken one-sided love.
Released in March 2007 as part of Team K’s 3rd Stage “Nounai Paradise,” it’s a song that has been passed down in theater performances.
You can laugh within your circle of friends, yet say nothing in front of the person you like as graduation day draws near.
Those bittersweet feelings are carefully spun over a gentle, mid-tempo melody.
Rather than flashy production, the arrangement treasures the afterglow of the words, quietly seeping into the listener’s heart.
This work captures a moment of youth swaying between the fear that love might end unfulfilled and the desire to express your feelings anyway.
It’s a number we recommend not only to those about to graduate, but also to anyone who wants to remember who they were back then.

This is a Vocaloid track with a unique concept that likens oneself to a company.

Kagome KagomeŌishi Masayoshi
As the opening theme for the latter half of the TV anime “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun 2,” which began airing in July 2025, this song—entirely written, composed, arranged, and performed by Masayoshi Oishi—bears the title of a nursery rhyme while ultimately shaping up into a mysterious yet pop-infused anime track.
Its lyrics, sprinkled with motifs like the Seven Wonders and ambiguous human relationships, mesh exquisitely with the yokai-tinged atmosphere of the original work, leaving a striking impression with expressions that carry a hint of darkness beneath a lively rhythm.
The music video’s dreamlike staging, featuring dancers wearing fox masks, has also become a hot topic.
Created by a proven talent who won both the Lyricist and Composer awards at the 2019 Heisei Anisong Awards, this piece is sure to electrify any event with its unique vibe if performed as entertainment.
