A ring and a spare key.haji→
“The Ring and the Spare Key” is a song included on Haj→’s 2011 mini-album “Hajibam.” He falls in love with a woman he meets while on a business trip to the Kansai region.
For someone who’s been through painful experiences in the past, moving on to a new relationship is already hard—and on top of that, it turns out to be long-distance, which only adds to the anxiety.
But by exchanging a ring and a spare key, they find a sense of ‘promise’ and ‘reassurance.’ The song portrays the emotions of both the man and the woman.

Hear it once, and you’ll surely be hooked.
Even If We’re Far feat. WISENishino Kana

8utterfly, whose realistic love songs from a woman’s perspective resonate with women of the same generation, is pronounced “Butterfly.” This song, which spells out the feelings of long-distance love just as its title suggests, was released digitally in January 2020.
It captures the emotions on the train ride home after visiting her boyfriend, featuring lyrics that those in long-distance relationships will nod along to with an “I know exactly how that feels.” It’s a track that conveys raw, diary-like emotions.
to youMONGOL800
MONGOL800’s signature track “Anata ni” (“To You”).
It’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that gets everyone hyped at live shows and festivals.
A rock song about a long-distance relationship—pretty rare, right? The track is included on the album “MESSAGE,” which achieved unprecedented sales for an indie release.
The lyrics are very simple, but it’s a message song filled with positivity: the longing to meet someone and the feelings for that person give you the strength and kindness to be gentle to those around you.
spring breezekururi
It’s Quruli’s fifth single, and it was also used in an Idemitsu Kosan commercial.
I think Quruli’s lyrics are poetic, with a beauty akin to pure literature.
It’s amazing how you can tell the other person is far away without it being said directly.
I feel there’s a unique sense of pause that invites you to imagine.
