It cleanses the soul… Great J-pop songs recommended for the yutori generation

When you hear the phrase “a good song,” what comes to mind?

Since Japanese people tend to place a lot of importance on lyrics, many of you might imagine songs with great words.

Of course, if the composition itself isn’t quite there, the message of the lyrics won’t really land, so the melody and overall tone are also crucial factors.

This time, we’ve put together a list of great J-POP tracks aimed at the so-called Yutori generation.

They’re mostly songs from the years when the Yutori generation likely spent their youth, so I hope you enjoy them.
