Mad PierrotYellow Magic Orchestra

A classic song that borrows its title from the French masterpiece Pierrot le Fou, showcasing the members’ love of cinema.
It appears on Yellow Magic Orchestra’s self-titled debut album, released in November 1978.
Crafted by Haruomi Hosono, the piece is notable for its vocoder-processed, mechanical vocals and synthesizer tones that are sprightly yet unsettling, evoking a circus.
The voice functions as one of the instruments, stirring the listener’s imagination.
It’s a track brimming with the exotic atmosphere and playful spirit characteristic of their early period.
I want to protect youyuzu

It’s a ballad imbued with a powerful yet gentle vow to protect your loved one no matter what.
It was included on a single released in November 2013 and later featured on the album “Shinsekai” (New World).
Created as the theme song for the film “It All Began When I Met You,” it expresses a desire to stay by a loved one’s side and support them through any hardship—a feeling that overlaps with parental love and makes my heart swell each time I listen.
Give it a listen when you want to reaffirm your love for your child.
Don’t give upZARD

When it comes to the ultimate cheer song, many people probably think of this number.
With lyrics penned by Izumi Sakai, this classic teaches us the importance of seeing things through to the very end.
Released as a single in January 1993, it became beloved as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu!” It’s also well known from the spring National High School Baseball Invitational’s march and as a motivational anthem for the 24-Hour TV marathon.
There’s even an anecdote that the chorus lyrics were revised during production to make them more positive.
Sing this song when you’re feeling down or need one last push, and courage will naturally well up inside you.

My Funny Weekendjin

A track included on the album “Mekakucity Reload.” Featuring arrangement by sasakure.UK, this piece is characterized by poppy electronic sounds reminiscent of chiptune and a lively rhythm.
Written from the perspective of a girl trying to enjoy a boring weekend in her own way, the lyrics make the everyday feel a little more special just by listening.
It’s a pop tune packed with excitement, delivering a pleasantly positive message.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa ClausJimmy Boyd

Set to the classic Christmas song “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” this is a parody that unfolds its own unique world.
While it keeps the same premise of Santa Claus coming to the house, it spins off into a distinct, comical turn from there.
It leans into the universally puzzling idea of someone slipping in unnoticed and then explores what might happen next.
Some parts are deliberately left vague, inviting readers to fill in the blanks with their own imaginations.
I want to protect youMatsutoya Yumi

This is Yumi Matsutoya’s 17th single, released in June 1981.
Written as the theme song for the film “Nerawareta Gakuen,” it is known as a quintessential example of the canon progression in the history of Japanese pop.
Based in G major, it features a characteristic structure in which the progression cycles from I to VIII, and the use of slash chords weaves in a smoothly descending bass line.
Perfect for those who want to fully savor the comfort of a canon progression, or when you’re in the mood to be gently wrapped in tenderness.
Witch’s BluesKasumi-KASMI-

“Witch’s Blues” is KASMI’s second single.
It’s a work wrapped in the bewitching atmosphere of the late night.
The arrangement is by Hideya Sawamura.
True to KASMI’s self-styled persona as a “witch who sings and dances,” it’s crafted as a kayōkyoku piece that boldly incorporates elements of blues.
Her sultry vocals pair beautifully with the smooth, restrained melody.
It’s an emotion-rich enka-kayō song that makes you want to listen slowly in a nighttime bar.
