I couldn’t fully become it.kyiku
This piece portrays the painfully honest cries of a heart struggling to become its ideal self.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kyiku and released in August 2025, it presents a dim, haunting world centered on the theme of “failed eclosion,” leaving a deep impression.
As the creator says they “wrote as honestly as possible,” the lyrics lay bare a soliloquy-like wavering of emotion, and the trembling sound design draws listeners into deep introspection.
On nights when you’re sunk in a helplessness you can’t shake, when you want to immerse yourself in music alone, this work is sure to stay close to you.
Nameless PoemMr.Children
Mr.Children’s fifth album, Deep Sea, released in 1996 and a massive hit with total sales exceeding 2.7 million copies, is a shocking concept album that overturned the band’s image.
While it includes hits like “Nameless Poem” and “Flower -Mémento-Mori-,” the overarching tone is a dark, weighty world that engulfs the listener.
Kazutoshi Sakurai’s word choices, which seem to gouge at his inner self, merge with progressive sonics to vividly portray human loneliness and nihilism.
It’s the perfect record for those who want to experience the band’s artistry beyond pure pop, or to immerse themselves in music that unfolds like a single story.
Night TheaterHump Back
This is an outstanding rock ballad by Hump Back that portrays the loneliness brought by the night’s silence and the impatience of not quite being an adult.
The straightforward words and emotional vocals of singer-guitarist Momoko Hayashi seem to speak for those hazy, conflicted feelings unique to our youth.
The single containing this track, Dear Boy, released in June 2018, was also chosen as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s Buzz Rhythm 02, drawing attention at the time.
The down-to-earth lyrics, sung over a bittersweet, medium-tempo melody, gently sink into the listener’s heart.
On nights when everything feels like it’s going wrong and you’re feeling down, listening to this song might give you a quiet nudge to try just a little bit harder.
Nerd and AngelMEGA SHINNOSUKE
A nerdy protagonist lacking self-confidence throws his whole heart into his feelings for the person he likes, who shines like an angel—set to a propulsive, high-velocity folk-rock sound.
Released in July 2025 by multi-artist Mega Shinnosuke, the track was selected as the official theme song for Kyushu’s largest free live event, MUSIC CITY TENJIN 2025.
Behind the quirky line “I want to love you at a genetic level” lies a pure, awkward form of affection that’s irresistibly heart-fluttering.
If you’ve been unable to confess your feelings to your crush, this song just might give you the courage you need.
Night riderTaiga Kyomoto(SixTONES)
An urban track that pairs a cool, night-city rush of sound with Taiga Kyomoto’s delicate vocals.
His breath-infused singing seems to convey both the anxiety of nearly losing sight of your goal and the strong will to keep moving forward.
You can picture the protagonist pressing through the darkness in search of light, even while carrying loneliness.
The song is included on SixTONES’ single “Stargaze,” to be released in September 2025.
It’s perfect for a late-night drive with a glittering cityscape.

A Tearful RequestChekkāzu
The Checkers were an idol group that enjoyed immense popularity among women.
Because they were aimed at a slightly younger audience, they might not be a perfect fit for women in their 60s; still, many will have heard their songs often.
Among their tracks, Namida no Request is a particularly crowd-pleasing piece.
Although it’s categorized as a ballad, it isn’t subdued; rather, it features an upbeat melody.
The vocal range is somewhat broad at mid1 F# to high D#, but since the midrange is the focus, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
Night MusicMrs. GREEN APPLE
With its very wide vocal range, Nachtmusik is a song my student—who loves Mrs.
GREEN APPLE—had been practicing for a long time.
They were originally good at falsetto, so they were thrilled, saying, “It’s gotten easier to use my chest voice, and my falsetto comes out more smoothly now!” I recommend it as a practice piece, too! First, about the range: it spans G#2 to G5, which is very wide, but the average pitch of the song is around F4 and it’s sung mostly in falsetto.
The range feels wider because there’s a section in the first verse’s A-melody that’s sung an octave lower.
Since breath control is crucial for this song, relax your body so you can use diaphragmatic breathing.
If your shoulders rise when you inhale, you’ll slip into everyday chest breathing and won’t be able to take in air as you intend.
Keep your shoulders relaxed at all times! And be sure to turn the air you inhale into actual singing when you exhale.
It has a beautiful tone, so please give it a try!
