Gentle songs. Classic tunes that calm the heart. Songs that make you feel kind (51–60)
If ISekitori Hana
It’s a work brimming with humanity that imagines, while reflecting on one’s own life, “If I had a child, these are the things I’d teach them.” It’s a song by Hana Sekitori, a singer-songwriter from Kanagawa, included on her second album, Someone Who Looks a Lot Like You, released in 2017.
The arrangement feels “true-to-life,” slipping right into your heart and gently softening your mood.
Try listening while thinking, “What would I teach if it were me?”
A Naked Heartaimyon
Aimyon is a singer-songwriter who freely switches between a powerful voice, a gentle voice, and a wide range of vocal tones.
Her 2020 release “Hadaka no Kokoro” (Naked Heart) is a pure pop tune that straightforwardly sings about the joy of falling in love.
The song especially showcases her tender vocals, and the technique of purposefully slipping into falsetto for just a moment in part of the chorus is irresistible.
She’s also great at controlling dynamics, which might be the secret to why listening to her naturally helps you relax.
I won’t push myself, but that should be fine.yoshida takurou
This work gently tells you it’s okay to affirm who you are now and not force yourself to push too hard.
It opens the album “Gozenchū ni…” released in April 2009, and even among this ambitious collection of all-new songs, it stands out as especially emblematic.
Longtime ally Ichizō Seo handled the arrangement, with serene strings blending exquisitely with Takuro Yoshida’s warm vocals.
It was also used in an Asahi Beer commercial, and its gentle worldview found its way into living rooms across the country.
It’s a song I hope you’ll listen to when daily life has you feeling a bit worn out, or on a morning when you want to regain your own pace.
It’s filled with Yoshida’s kindness—always close to the listener’s heart—even as he continues to evolve with the times.
Miracle soupMindaRyn
It’s a heartwarming song overflowing with kindness.
MindaRyn’s gentle vocals seem to embody a worldview that likens human connections and the emotions we feel as we live—joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—to a comforting soup.
The tempo is on the relaxed side, with an acoustic sound as its foundation.
Released in June 2024, it was selected as the ending theme for the anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3.
As MindaRyn’s sixth single, this work matches the anime’s world perfectly.
When your heart is tired or you need hope for tomorrow, this song will surely wrap you up and comfort you.

Wataridori is ALEXANDROS’s 10th single, released in 2015.
You often hear it in commercials and the like.
The song likens life to migratory birds, which travel long distances depending on the season and available food, gently giving you a push when you’re feeling worn out.
I recommend it for those times when you want to do your best but just can’t find the strength.
Far, far awayMakihara Noriyuki
It’s said to be a song that Noriyuki Makihara wrote while thinking of a friend from his hometown, and because it’s based on real experience, the pure feelings he put into it truly come through.
It expresses the loneliness of being apart from a friend, while also conveying the depth of their bond—the belief that they’re each doing their best in different places.
It’s a gentle friendship song that seems to portray how being separated made him recognize their bond anew.
Why not let the kindness of this song remind you of a kind friend of your own?
Moon and LightKimura Yuka
This is a track released by singer-songwriter Yuka Kimura in September 2019.
Her soothing voice, warm and gently enveloping like the soft light of the moon, resonates in the heart.
Just as the lyrics say, it’s a tender song that truly makes you feel as if you’re being embraced by Yuka Kimura’s voice.
Like the moon that cannot shine on its own, her voice will surely illuminate you as well.
