Soothing, calming songs for the heart (1–10)
OrangeSMAP
A B-side track from SMAP’s 2000 single “Lion Heart.” In the fan vote for the best-of album released the year SMAP’s breakup was decided, it ranked among the top songs.
Throughout the piece, it portrays a couple parting ways, yet someday those memories will shine beautifully.
It’s recommended for times when you want to have a good cry.
One more time,One more chanceYamazaki Masayoshi
You can feel your heart being healed by Masayoshi Yamazaki’s solo acoustic performances, can’t you? “One more time, One more chance” is a song that showcases the best of his singer-songwriter style.
The warm tone of the acoustic guitar and his gentle voice will surely soothe you.
Try listening to it slowly, savoring every moment.

ONE OK ROCK’s tender love song, “Wherever you are.” It’s also a classic choice for weddings.
Some people may associate vocalist Taka with a soaring high-tone voice, but his singing is outstanding even in ballads.

Soothing, mellow songs that heal the heart (11–20)
fragileEvery Little Thing
Theme song of the romance observation variety show “Ainori.” This is Every Little Thing’s biggest hit since they became a duo.
It captures the feelings of someone who can’t be honest with the person they like and can’t seem to move forward.
Why not be honest for once and try expressing your feelings?
366 daysHY
It’s one of HY’s signature songs, right up there with “AM11:00.” The chic accompaniment and the smooth, easy-to-listen-to vocal harmonies feel superb.
The punch of the chorus is especially outstanding—you can vividly picture the heartbroken protagonist standing alone in their room.
It’s a timeless classic you’ll want to revisit regularly.
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
When you’re going through tough times or feeling lonely, I recommend songs with a mellow tone and gentle vocals.
JUJU’s “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” will surely give you strength during those difficult moments.
It’s a masterpiece packed with JUJU’s charm—she moved to the U.S.
alone at 18 and can sing across a wide range of genres.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS
“M,” a song covered by many artists.
A masterpiece irresistible for its gentle piano and tender, heartrending vocals.
The build-up toward the chorus and the surge that follows are simply unbeatable.
Another hallmark is the irresistibly cool electric guitar that comes in at the chorus.
It’s a classic that has been listened to time and time again.
