Rainy BlueTokunaga Hideaki
It’s a very heartrending, bluesy song—one that I think can move anyone who’s experienced heartbreak to tears.
It’s also remembered for covering many timeless classics.
With an undeniable musical sensibility and a rare, soaring high-tone voice, Hideaki Tokunaga—one of the leading artists in the Japanese music scene—delivers this breakup number.
Co-created with Makoto Oki, whom he met while working part-time in Karuizawa, the song became one of his signature tracks.
It was released in 1986 as Hideaki Tokunaga’s debut single.
Peter Pan syndromeSound Schedule
It’s a classic song that reminisces about a youth spent chasing only what was right in front of us, and wistfully reflects on a time we can no longer return to.
Even now, the distant city lights that appear for a moment are no longer the same as they once were—and they’ll keep changing from here on, too.
This gentle rock tune makes those ordinary truths feel precious.

A heartwarming song born from the desire to connect people’s hearts through the power of music and deliver a light of hope.
Centered around Taka from ONE OK ROCK and Shota Shimizu, artists of the same generation—including Mao Abe, Ayaka, Aimer, KENTA from WANIMA, Nissy, and Daichi Miura—came together to create it.
Even amid the anxiety of everyday life feeling like it might fall apart, the song carries a message to keep looking forward and moving on.
The music video, edited from footage each artist filmed at home, surpassed 10 million views in just half a month after its release in June 2020.
Singing about the longing for bonds with loved ones and hope for the future, this piece is perfect for delivering a tender performance at karaoke.
It’s a song that lets you share your feelings with those around you and warms the heart.
