Riding on the Wind ~ Over the MoonItō Ran
Released in August 2024, Ran Ito’s single is a song brimming with liberation and exhilaration, as if soaring past the moon wrapped in the wind.
The lyrics begin with a breeze brushing one’s cheek in the pale-pink season, depicting a gentle, personal moment found when pausing amid the busyness of everyday life.
They beautifully express the state of mind of shedding tightly held illusions and stepping onto a new path.
With a sophisticated melody by Jun Abe, who wrote both the lyrics and composition, and words that sing of a free spirit transcending even time, the piece achieves a superb harmony.
Sharing its title with Ito’s first essay, the song has also been performed on her concert tour across nine cities nationwide.
It’s a track I especially recommend to those who long to break free from daily constraints and pressures, or who are ready to make a fresh start.

It’s included on his November 2020 cover album “ROMANCE,” which conveys deep respect for beloved songs from the Showa and Heisei eras.
While the original captured the bittersweet emotions of a woman leaving the stage, Miyamoto’s powerful yet delicate vocals express that pathos with a contemporary sensibility.
It’s a track that will resonate with those at a turning point in life or facing a situation where they must give something up.

Also included on the album “ex Negoto,” this gem portrays the ache of wanting to meet someone you cannot see.

Its mysterious, time-hopping twists were the talk of the recording sessions, with a sense of fun that’s impossible not to smile at.

Unchanging ThingsUeno Daiki
Daiki Ueno is a singer-songwriter known for his warm vocals.
His version of “Kawaranai Mono” is a cover of Hanako Oku’s original, characterized by a lower, restrained key that gives it a more grounded feel.
While there aren’t distinctly low parts, the lowered key brings out many midrange phrases where vocal richness can shine.
If it feels a bit high for you, don’t hesitate to lower the key further when singing.
Because this song can easily lose volume, it’s recommended to turn down the backing track when singing it at karaoke.
