Nameless PoemNakagawa Keisuke (Mr.Children)
Keisuke Nakagawa, the bassist of Mr.Children—one of Japan’s most iconic bands—was born in Nagasaki Prefecture.
Fans affectionately call him “Nakakē.” He often favors Fender Jazz Basses, and his supportive, song-centric bass playing is widely appreciated.
On stage, his aggressive expressions and intense performance style are incredibly compelling.
His changing hairstyles also draw attention, and his good looks have earned him an especially dedicated fan base.
In his private life, he’s known as a baseball enthusiast and Hanshin Tigers fan, and his connections through baseball—such as with Hanshin alumnus Shinjiro Hiyama—are also well known.
Close your eyes for a little excursionNakamori Akina
A mellow love song, “Close Your Eyes for a Little Excursion,” is also recommended.
It’s a track included on their third album, Fantasy (Fantasia).
The lyrics are notably rich in metaphor, depicting a woman looking back on her past memories.
Try singing it while letting your imagination wander about what kind of feelings are being expressed.
Overall, it has a relaxed vibe with few high notes or intense sections, so I think it’s easy to sing.

Mei is not here.Hisaishi Joe
This is the piece for the very sad and difficult “Mei Is Missing” scene in the story.
The mournful melody perfectly conveys the deep concern felt by Satsuki, Granny, and everyone in the village.
As evening falls, the melody carries the intense anxiety leading up to nightfall—every time I hear it, it brings me to tears.
It’s a beautiful theme song imbued with everyone’s prayers for her safety.
Merry ChristmasNinomiya Kazunari
It’s a masterpiece that expresses the magic of Christmas through music.
It vividly depicts winter scenes: streets adorned in Christmas colors of red, white, and green, smiles like strawberries on a cake, and rows of Santas in front of the station.
Included on the album THE DIGITALIAN, this track was released in October 2014.
Kazunari Ninomiya’s delicate vocals gently embrace the feeling of hoping for miracles on Christmas night.
Sing it with friends at karaoke, and it will surely become a heartwarming memory.
This work is recommended for anyone who wants to spend Christmas night with someone special.
The revolving seasonsInoue Azumi
Used in the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, this is a grand piece with exquisitely layered strings.
As you’re captivated by the intro, the start of the vocals overwhelms you with a beautiful, noble melody.
The accompaniment and vocals are powerful, yet there’s a hint of loneliness that seems to perfectly match Kiki’s feelings as she leaves home to work on her own.
MessageInoue Sonoko
Singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue, who is especially popular among young women.
Her signature song “Message” has also become a karaoke favorite.
Many people relate to the lyrics that portray a tender first love, and it’s often sung on dates with someone they like or solo at karaoke to blow off steam.
Be sure to give it a try when you fall in love.
The Meandering TownInoue Yosui
It’s a song that feels very Inoue Yosui—imbued with an indescribable pathos and the loneliness of the night.
Meisō suru Machi (The Meandering Town) is included on his sixth album, White, released in 1978, and it might be a track only devoted fans are familiar with.
When you think of Yosui and rain, many probably recall the classic mega-hit Kasaga Nai (I Don’t Have an Umbrella), but the rain depicted in Meisō suru Machi evokes a different image altogether.
As for singing it, it’s not particularly difficult; if you let the melody flow over a relaxed 6/8 rhythm, you can savor it comfortably.
To bring out the world of the lyrics, it might be good to sing as if you’re telling a story, drawing listeners into its narrative.
