COLORSGLAY
GLAY is a four-member rock band that set numerous milestones in the J-POP scene during the 1990s and continues to be highly active today.
COLORS, which was selected as the theme song for the film Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light, is memorable for its lyrical string arrangements.
The song’s lyrics, depicting the relationship and emotional distance between father and child, may resonate as a feeling of gratitude you come to understand in adulthood.
It’s an emotional medium-tempo ballad perfect for June, when Father’s Day falls—one that invites you to reflect on your own life.
Song of ParentsGReeeeN
GReeeeN is a four-member vocal group known for numerous signature songs, and they’ve also produced hits for other artists.
“Chichi Haha Uta,” included on their third album Salt, Pepper—which won Best Album at the 51st Japan Record Awards—stands out for its melodious rap and sentimental tune.
The lyrics, which recount memories with one’s parents and express the gratitude that’s hard to say out loud, make it a song you’ll especially want to hear in May for Mother’s Day and June for Father’s Day.
It’s a heartfelt number that speaks for those feelings that are hard to express precisely because of how close we are.
June brideZa Pīnattsu
The Peanuts are a duo from Aichi Prefecture, consisting of sisters Emi Ito (older) and Yumi Ito (younger).
They have many songs featuring beautiful two-person harmonies.
Among them, June Bride, released in 1964, is a perfect song for June with its lovely melody.
Wrapped in the festive atmosphere of a wedding, this song is sure to brighten your mood just by listening.
And if two women perform it as a duet, it will make you feel even more positive!
UFOpinku redii
This song, released in 1977 by Pink Lady, the female idol duo that produced numerous hits from the late 1970s through the 1980s, was created by the golden duo of lyricist Yū Aku and composer Shunichi Tokura.
Their innovative choreography shines in this track as well—the “UFO” pose in the intro is something everyone remembers imitating.
The song itself is, of course, excellent, but when it comes to Pink Lady, it’s ultimately the choreography that truly defines them.
Longing for RainYashiro Aki
Aki Yashiro is an enka singer beloved not only by older listeners but also by younger generations.
She’s known for hits like “Funauta,” “Namida Koi,” and “Onna Minato-machi,” but we mustn’t forget “Ame no Bojō,” a rain-themed classic that’s perfect for June.
Her rich, heartrending voice really sinks into the soul, and the chorus has an incredibly familiar, catchy melody.
That’s exactly why it’s a great pick even if you only vaguely remember the lyrics—you’ll still find it easy to sing through to the end.
A midsummer passing showerUtada Hikaru
Speaking of June, it’s the rainy season with lots of precipitation.
Hikaru Utada’s “Manatsu no Toori Ame” (A Passing Summer Shower) is a ballad that perfectly suits this time of year.
It’s a very famous song, so I’m sure many of you know it.
It’s definitely a ballad you’ll want to try singing at karaoke in this early-summer season.
Rainy Moondōyō
This children’s song, “Amefuri Otsukisan” (The Moon in the Rain), likens the moon to a bride, and there are said to be two interpretations of its lyrics.
One is that Ujō Noguchi, who wrote the lyrics, composed it to show compassion for his wife, who rode on horseback in the rain and took two days to come to him as a bride—an interpretation that reflects the customs of the time when the song was written.
The other is that it was written about Noguchi’s daughter, who passed away at a young age—perhaps expressing a father’s feelings as he imagines his daughter reaching marrying age and becoming a bride.
Although the melody is sorrowful, just reading the lyrics alone is enough to make one’s heart ache.
