Hometown of TearsBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a single by BUMP OF CHICKEN released in November 2006.
It compares the place where tears are born to one’s hometown, delicately portraying feelings of loss and reunion, parting and forgiveness.
Chosen as the CM song for Lotte’s chocolate “airs,” its music video—directed by film director Takashi Yamazaki—features Maki Horikita.
In its release week, it debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It’s a song that gently gives you a push forward when you’re trying to face ahead while keeping thoughts of someone dear in your heart.
tear(s)Marushii
A heartrending ballad that vividly recalls days spent with a former lover under the summer sky.
Released by Marcy in August 2025, it’s a breakup song and their first ballad to be delivered for the summer, despite their history of producing many uptempo summer numbers.
The story begins with memories at a seaside park and is written entirely in the past tense, conveying the lingering attachment and pain of a love that can never return.
The way it retraces the past, as if touching memories, portrays the lingering afterglow of feelings that remain even after a breakup.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you’ve experienced a farewell with someone important or when you want to cry your heart out and set your feelings free.
tear-coloredNishino Kana
A song that delicately portrays the pain of heartbreak and the memories that won’t fade.
Its gentle melody, wrapping around lingering feelings for an ex and indelible recollections, leaves a strong impression.
The lyrics tenderly trace the loneliness of fewer phone calls and emails, and the fragments of everyday life that remain in the heart, evoking a bittersweetness that many have felt at least once.
Released in August 2013 as the artist’s 21st single, it was also featured as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Sukkiri!!”.
This moving number is one to hear on nights when you can’t sort out your feelings after a breakup, or when you suddenly find yourself thinking back on someone from your memories.
Summer is comingDaikoku Maki
The period around 1992–1995 was truly the heyday of Being, and among Maki Ohguro’s massive hits—she continues to thrive in the 2020s with her down-to-earth lyrics and overwhelmingly soulful vocals—one standout is Natsu ga Kuru, released in April 1994.
With a boldly Latin-influenced sound, the song powerfully belts out frank complaints—seasoned with a touch of self-deprecating humor—against the trend of having a “normal” kind of happiness pushed on you, which surely felt refreshing to many listeners.
It remains a karaoke favorite to this day and sold an impressive 980,000 copies.

These timeless classics, filled with sincere messages, offer listeners a calm, peaceful moment.

Shadows of SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
About seven years after 2018’s “Blue and Summer,” this new work returns to a summer theme—a lingering, summery number that delicately captures the changing of the seasons.
The late-summer breeze and lengthening shadows reflect the slow passage of time as we grow up.
The scenes that rise from everyday fragments—like a sweaty shirt or melting ice—are truly moving.
Released in August 2025, it was featured as the song for Kirin Gogo no Kocha’s TV commercial.
The music video, filmed in Fukui Prefecture, also evokes a deep sense of nostalgia.
It’s a song that quietly stays with you at dusk as summer draws to a close, or on the drive back home.
