A message to youerica
This work depicts a scene where you probe someone’s feelings by asking the person you like a series of questions.
It’s a track by singer-songwriter Erica—widely supported by younger generations as a byword for “confession songs”—which began pre-release distribution in November 2017.
Its structure, with phrases that ask about things like whether they’re seeing someone or what type they like, is perfect for a surprise-lyrics scenario over LINE.
At the time of release, it topped LINE MUSIC’s daily rankings, and its relatable, true-to-life lyrics captured the hearts of many listeners.
It’s also included on the album “Koku-uta 3: Anata e Okuru Uta 2,” released in February 2019, so why not send it along as a song to convey those fluttering feelings at the start of love?
The first winter without youKobayashi Tōya
Kobayashi Tōya’s major-label debut song straightforwardly sings about the biting cold of the first winter after a breakup and the lingering feelings that remain.
Its warm acoustic tones and emotionally rich vocals resonate in the heart, offering comfort to anyone who wishes they could go back to those days.
Released in November 2021, the track also drew attention as an insert song for ABEMA’s dating show “My Younger Prince: 100 Princes Edition.” It was later included on his first album, “Hiiragi,” and has garnered widespread empathy.
Listen to it on nights when the loneliness of being by yourself feels overwhelming.
It’s sure to gently melt your frozen heart.
Kit Can Nowmiwa

This song, included on the single “Faith” and the album “ONENESS,” both released in February 2014, is an upbeat tune created as part of Nestlé’s Kit Kat exam-support campaign.

Its positive message, singing of hope for the future, is perfect for the major milestone of graduation.
In this season when excitement and anxiety about a new life mix together, give it a listen when you want to spur yourself on.
You, the Sheep, and the BlueRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS are popular among students too.
Because the vocal range is a bit high, you might assume you can’t sing their songs, but once you get the hang of it, you definitely can! In “Kimi to Hitsuji to Ao,” there are lots of words and a fast pace, so first run through the melody line.
Try singing all the lyrics as “hi.” “Hi” is a sound that makes it easy to use head voice, so you’ll naturally let your breath flow.
Follow the melody line as if you’re saying “hi” crisply.
After that, try singing with the actual lyrics.
You’ll likely find the pronunciation much easier.
I’m glad I met you.Inoue Sonoko
A refreshing band sound that evokes the coming of spring makes this track especially memorable.
Singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue created it as she was approaching her own high school graduation, and it was included on her album “Hello,” released in March 2016.
It was also used as the theme song for the NOTTV drama “Sakura Saku.” The lyrics depict everyday scenes shared with friends and the bonds that continue even when you’re apart.
It’s perfect for those moments when you want to say “thank you” to your cherished friends—words that can feel a bit embarrassing to express in everyday life.
Today is Coming-of-Age Day.Takehara Pisutoru

Rather than pushing you forward, it warmly affirms even the tough emotions—a unique kindness that really sinks in.
The track is included on the album “Swo-o-om!!,” released in February 2025, with an advance digital release in January of the same year.
When you’re worn out by the noise of celebrations or feeling pressure about the future, try listening to it quietly on your own.
