Fireworks of ShoesYorushika
It’s a song that conjures the image of a summer dusk, where sparklers crackle and burn away in a fleeting moment.
Said to be inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s story “The Nighthawk Star,” the piece delicately portrays inexpressible emotions, inner conflict over past memories, and the wavering question of why we are here.
Suis’s crystal-clear vocals and the acoustic guitar’s arpeggios gently color its aching poignancy.
Released with a music video in April 2017 and later included in Yorushika’s mini-album “The Flaw in Summer Grass” in June of the same year, it stands as one of their emblematic early works.
When you’re weighed down by a sudden loneliness or a sorrow too deep for words, this song will quietly stay by your side.

A thrilling and glamorous track released in May 2025 as the theme song for the theatrical anime Phantom Thief Queen’s Elegant Vacation! It’s a song by the music unit Anipani, centered around Rinu from Strawberry Prince, with Vau and Chigusa-kun participating.
The bright, jazz-inspired arrangement is striking, evoking the excitement and heart-pounding adventure aboard a luxury cruise ship.
The vocal work, showcasing the individuality of all three, is also captivating—the powerful voice of Rinu, Vau’s resonant low tones, and Chigusa-kun’s soaring high notes blend together exquisitely.

Let’s hide and kiss in the car.Mr.Children
This hidden gem of a song is a masterpiece included on the 1992 album “Kind of Love.” Among Mr.Children’s early works, it’s a fan favorite: a simple acoustic guitar arpeggio rings throughout the entire track, and its delicate tone beautifully conveys the secret feelings of young lovers.
With lyrics and composition by Kazutoshi Sakurai, the song is a jewel-like ballad that portrays the frustration of a love that hasn’t quite grown up, and the poignant emotions of two people avoiding prying eyes as they reaffirm their love.
The way the arpeggio pattern evolves as the song progresses adds a rich expressiveness that leaves a lasting impression.
It remains beloved by many fans as a hidden classic that resonates deep in the heart—perfect for a drive with your partner or for listening alone on a quiet night.
Crazy Moon ~You Are Invincible~arashi
One of Arashi’s signature songs, this 80s-style dance number features an energetic sound and sharp choreography.
Set to an up-tempo beat, it’s a pop tune that sings of invincible strength and a positive message.
Released in May 2009 as part of the double A-side single “Ashita no Kioku / Crazy Moon ~Kimi wa Muteki~,” it was used in a commercial for KOSÉ’s cosmetics brand Esprique Precious.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you need a boost or before taking on a challenge.
Clap ClapOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism’s classic “Clap Clap” is marked by its cheerful melody.
The vocal line places the verse (A-melody) in the middle range, the pre-chorus (B-melody) in the mid-high range, and the chorus in the high range.
Because there are many high phrases overall, it might seem difficult, but since it’s constructed from the middle to high ranges, the overall range isn’t actually that wide.
However, the high phrases continue for a long time, so a certain level of endurance in the upper register is required.
For those with a naturally high vocal range, the contour of the melody is relatively gentle, making it a fairly singable song.
CookingYUI
A bittersweet love song that portrays a woman expressing her affection through cooking.
YUI’s warm voice and the heartwarming melody blend beautifully in this piece.
Featured on the album “HOW CRAZY YOUR LOVE,” released in November 2011, the song captures the excitement and happiness of early-stage romance through the story of a woman taking on the challenge of cooking, something she isn’t used to, for the person she loves.
Centered on acoustic guitar, the simple and gentle sound wraps everyday life in a tender sense of small happiness.
It’s a recommended track for when you want to deepen a relationship with someone special or convey your feelings through cooking.
