ginkgoYūsuke

Yusuke 'Ginkgo'

Released as Yusuke’s 3rd single, it was used as the theme song for the Marukome “Liquid Miso” commercial in which he appears.

The song uses the melody from Johann Pachelbel’s classical piece “Canon.” The music video was directed by Hiroshi Shinagawa of the comedy duo Shinagawa Shoji.

What on earth happened to the happy couple…? It’s a great pick for karaoke.

Chihiro Onitsuka – Gekkou (Moonlight)

This is Chihiro Onitsuka’s August 2000 song that reflects deep despair and solitude.

Her voice, warm and gently enveloping like the soft light of the moon, resonates in the heart.

The accompaniment woven by piano and strings accentuates Onitsuka’s transparent vocals, conveying the emotion of the lyrics with great depth.

The song was also used as the theme for the TV drama TRICK, and the combination of its mysterious atmosphere with Onitsuka’s overwhelming vocal power further boosted its popularity.

With a wistful melody perfect for autumn, when we’re prone to feeling sentimental, it’s a song that flows with bittersweetness.

Try singing it while thinking of someone dear to you.

World of AzureRemioromen

Remioromen – Blue World

Released as Remioromen’s 7th single, it was used in the “Chakushin★Uta♪” commercial.

It is included on Remioromen’s rental-only album “Autumn ~Kachō Fūgetsu~.” While many autumn songs are melancholic, this one sings of autumn as a season of beginnings—“fallen leaves become nourishment and grow into new trees.”

SeptemberTakeuchi Mariya

Mariya Takeuchi – September [Live Version / 2000 @ Nippon Budokan]

“September” is one of those karaoke numbers you just have to sing at least once in autumn, right? With the success of this song, Mariya Takeuchi won the Newcomer Award at the 21st Japan Record Awards in 1979.

I think many of you already know it as one of her classic hits.

While the music gives off a light and bright vibe, the lyrics depict a love that comes to an end in September.

The image of a lover drifting away and the woman’s state of mind really pierce the heart.
