The idol group Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu, known for their catchy stages and built on the theme of “thrilling love and youth,” has gained popularity through their strong social media reach and live shows that foster a sense of unity with fans.

Among their songs, the one I recommend as the lead number from the album Tokimeki Rulebook is this track.

Written and composed by the singer-songwriter Koresawa, it features lyrics that present the rules of romance like an instruction manual.

Released in October 2024, it also became familiar as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Platinight.” Its charm lies in a cute quality that coexists with slightly mature expressions, so if you want to feel positive about love, be sure to give it a listen.

A bouquet with all my heartSazan Ōrusutāzu

Closing out the classic album “Young Love,” released in July 1996, is a heartwarming ballad by Southern All Stars.

The orchestral sound, arranged by composer-arranger Yasushi Miyagawa, is grand in scale, and the lyrics—about recognizing a parent’s love once you’ve grown up and the resolve to walk forward with your partner—are deeply moving.

Known as a storytelling masterpiece, it was also featured as a theme piece in the Nippon TV drama “The Naminori Restaurant.” The song is included on the smash-hit best-of album “Ballad 3 ~the album of LOVE~” and continues to be cherished across generations.

It’s a perfect choice for bouquet presentations at weddings or for expressing gratitude to your parents on special days.

If saying “thank you” feels embarrassing, try sending that feeling through this song.

Sakurazaka46 is drawing intense attention at home and abroad for performances and messages that upend conventional idol images.

Hikari-gen, included on their 14th single The growing up train released in March 2026, is a standout track created primarily by the 4th generation.

With Konomi Asai as center, lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto, and composition by Koshiro Honda, the song leaves a strong impression as it raises its voice toward the future while resisting a cruel reality.

It was pre-released in February 2026, and the worldview of the music video directed by Hidejin Kato pulls you right in.

It’s a song that gives you courage when you want to find the light within yourself.

Journey of the Heartchūrippu

Kokoro no Tabi / Tulip (with lyrics)
Journey of the Heartchūrippu

This is the song that you can’t help but hum during the season of departures.

It’s a signature work by Tulip, a band formed in Fukuoka Prefecture, and a classic released in April 1973 as their third single.

Its melody, which evokes the poignant feelings for a lover far away and the scene of setting off by train, truly resonates.

In fact, just before release, the lead vocal was changed from Kazuo Zaitsū to Tatsuya Himeno, and the structure was altered to start with the chorus—changes that led to a major hit, reaching No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

Beloved as a TV drama theme and in commercials, this piece has been cherished across generations.

As you reminisce about youthful journeys together, raise your voices and sing “Kokoro no Tabi.”

A medium-tempo track as fresh as a spring breeze, vividly capturing the confusion and racing heartbeat at the start of love—those sweet and tangy moments.

It’s a solo song by Lila Ikuta, who also performs as ikura, the vocalist of the music duo YOASOBI, released in April 2025.

Chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s romance show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita: New Zealand Edition,” this marks her third collaboration with the series.

The song portrays someone carrying past wounds and timid feelings who, encouraged by the other’s presence, tries to take a step forward.

Why not give it a listen when you’re ready to begin a new romance or on a night when you’re thinking of someone special?

Composed by Saeki youthK with lyrics written by Kana Nishino herself, the song captures the gentle yet bittersweet feelings of everyday happiness and the wish for time with a lover to last forever.

Because it features Kana Nishino’s signature opening falsetto riff, it would be nice if you can sing that part lightly as well.

The melody itself is simple and easy to remember, and if you follow the lyrics straightforwardly, you should be able to sing it with a good rhythm.

There’s a key change before the last chorus and the vocal range rises, so be careful not to let your voice crack.

Since the range gets higher, try to use more breath and project your voice energetically as if sending it up and out from above your head.
