besties foreverShinsei Kamattechan
“Zutomo” is a word often used on social media that means “friends forever.” That’s right—I don’t think friendship is limited by gender.
Even if you’re from different countries or don’t share a language, you can still be “Zutomo.” I think this song, which celebrates that kind of genderlessness, is really wonderful.
Even if it’s not entirely accepted, listening to this song makes me feel that at least a little understanding will be granted.
It sings that it’s enough to be honest with your feelings and believe in yourself.
Highly recommended.
Ain’t Nobody KnowHoshino Gen
This song is packed with Gen Hoshino’s latest musical experiments.
Included on the digital-only EP “Same Thing,” released in October 2019, it drew attention as a collaboration with the young U.K.
artist Tom Misch.
Against a steady beat and flowing melody, Hoshino’s voice stands out in its beauty.
The lyrics emphasize a free and passionate expression of love, portraying a relationship that draws two people deeply together without worrying about society’s gaze.
The lyric video features actor Yutaka Matsushige, while the music video stars Nana Komatsu, both enriching the song’s world.
It’s a perfect track for spending precious time with someone you love.
The music video also includes a same-sex couple, highlighting the diversity of love.
First feelingsSuga Shikao
It’s a gem of a song, woven with warm feelings and delicate words.
Included on the album “SMILE,” released in May 2003, it showcases Shikao Suga’s musicality to the fullest.
Set to a gentle melody, it portrays the budding of a first love and the confusion that accompanies those emotions, resonating deeply with listeners.
The lyrics’ “I” is said to be awakening to same-sex love.
The cool, funk beat–driven sound and introspective lyrics fuse beautifully, reflecting Suga’s spirit of musical exploration.
It’s a recommended track for anyone struggling with love or feeling bewildered by new emotions.
I Think, I Sing, I Say feat. Reddy (Prod by SKY-HI)SKY-HI
The sound is hip-hop.
It might seem like a typical track, but the lyrics are very deep.
Beyond labels like LGBT, beyond language, skin color, ideology, and love—beyond every gender—I feel this song carries a prayer that people around the world will lose themselves in this sound and that it will lead to a world without conflict.
It’s a highly recommended track.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
The lyrics are striking in how they seem to tell us that being true to ourselves is something admirable.
Even when I feel down after being rejected or criticized, remembering this song quickly lifts my spirits.
Noriyuki Makihara’s gentle high-tone voice is also soothing.
I want to keep valuing my true self as I go through life.

BraveSara Bareilles
When I listen to this song, courage, strength, and tears well up in me for some reason.
The title “Brave” literally means courage.
I feel an open, liberating rhythm, a powerful voice, and something like a force deep within.
In a world still bound by practical realities, this song makes me feel that with just a little courage, we can change things.
It’s a track I highly recommend when you’re feeling down.
Bohemian RhapsodyQueen
By now, there may be hardly anyone who doesn’t know this song—it’s that much of a classic.
Queen’s vocalist, Freddie Mercury, was gay.
Back then, there was still very little understanding of that kind of love, but I feel great respect for Freddie, who lived strongly through those times.
Bohemian Rhapsody became a song that gave courage to people facing the same struggles.
It’s truly a track I highly recommend.
