The Day Love Was BornFujitani Miwako / Ouchi Yoshiaki
A collaboration between actress Miwako Fujitani, who was active on screen, and singer-composer Yoshiaki Ouchi.
Steeped in a Showa-era mood, this song was used as an insert track in the drama “To You Who Will Marry Someday,” starring Miwako Fujitani.
Remarkably, Yasushi Akimoto handled both the original story for the drama and the lyrics for this song.
It has been covered by many artists, including May J with Demon Kakka, and Tiara with Kyogo Kawaguchi.
The song’s melancholy truly shines in a male-female duet, especially by those who watched the drama or heard the song in real time back then.
Adults, please let us hear that poignant wistfulness that young people just can’t quite capture!

Kana Adachi is a female singer-songwriter born on October 14, 1999.
She entered the entertainment industry in 2014 and made her major debut in August 2017.
Her collaborative track with Yuito Takeuchi, “Kono Ame ga Yandara,” was released on September 23, 2023, and was chosen as the theme song for WOWOW’s serial drama W-30 “Ao Haru Ride Season 1.” The song portrays the delicate feelings of two people leaning on each other in the rain and their deep affection for one another.
The gentle vocals of Adachi and Takeuchi enhance the emotional resonance of the piece, making it a song you’ll want to listen to with a partner or someone dear to you.
Please give “Kono Ame ga Yandara” a try as an expression of hope for the future and of love.
same age (colloquial; regional variant of onai-doshi)Nomiya Maki
This duet “Onaidoshi,” performed by Maki Nomiya and Ken Yokoyama, has a comfortable city-pop sound that evokes the ’80s.
Included on the album “New Beautiful,” the song commemorates Nomiya’s 40th anniversary since her debut and her collaboration with Yokoyama.
The relationship between the two characters in the lyrics is more than friends but not quite lovers… that vibe is sweetly bittersweet and a little heart-thumping.
How about trying a same-age duo duet yourselves, just like in the song?
Dreams in secretTakahata Mitsuki & Shirota Yu
Mitsuki Takahata and Yu Shirota are both widely active as actors, singers, and TV personalities.
The song A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes, originally written in 1950 as the theme for Disney’s Cinderella, was performed as a duet in the 2015 live-action film by the two, who provided the Japanese dub voices for Cinderella and the Prince.
Their magical ensemble evokes the beauty of the film’s story.
Since the song is under two minutes long, it’s an easy duet to try, and it’s a famous tune that almost everyone has heard at least once.
Wedding roadLGYankees ft. Noa
This is a track by the hip-hop group LGYankees—well-known for their numerous collaborations—featuring singer Noa.
It’s a classic rapper-and-singer collab, but it carries a strong message and is easy to listen to.
As the title “Wedding Road” suggests, it’s a perfect pick for karaoke or performances at wedding after-parties.
