communicationakai kouen
This song portrays the courage to accept your changing self and take a step toward the future.
It was included on the single “Imasara / Kōshin / Sayonara wa Iwanai,” released in July 2013 when Akai Ko-en announced their return to activity, and was later featured on their first album, “Kōen Debut.” Yosaki Tsuno said that the melody and lyrics came to her naturally while driving to Fukuoka, and the lyrics—like a dialogue between her past self and present self—gently resonate with listeners.
It also drew attention as a tie-in for the TOYOTA × STUDIO4°C animation project “PES NEXT GENERATION,” premiering at the JAPAN EXPO in Paris.
It’s a song that gives you a push when you want to face forward even as you feel bewildered by change.

Sunlight filtering through the trees — komorebitsukasa gaku
Released in October 2025 as the first project following the move to Teichiku Records, this work is a medium-tempo ballad sung by Tsukasa Manabu from Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture, quietly contemplating parting and regret.
It portrays the protagonist standing alone in dappled sunlight, savoring memories of someone they once held close.
The lingering attachment to a lost love and the ache of remorse are powerfully conveyed.
The lyrics by Ryusei Samejima, music by Seita Minamino, and gentle arrangement by Yukari Sugiyama blend exquisitely.
It’s the perfect song for looking back on a past romance.
You are beautiful when in love.Kimi ga sou nara boku wa kou
Although it was released on June 7, 2015, the song has recently gained popularity through social media like TikTok and is ranking high on Spotify’s Viral Chart.
The artist is an Osaka-based “youthful, melodically heart-throbbing band” that creates songs incorporating elements of kayōkyoku and youth punk.
It’s highly recommended for fans of bands with that nostalgic Heisei-era vibe.
Also, since the vocal range isn’t very wide and most of the singing stays in the mid register, you’ll likely be able to enjoy it in the original key.
However, there are many sections with continuous lyrics, so breath control might be challenging.
If you avoid overly crisp articulation and let the melody flow naturally, you should be able to sing it well.
