Lingering SnowNEW!iruka
It’s a classic folk song that represents the Showa era, coloring the season of farewells as spring arrives.
Set at a train station where unseasonable snow is falling, it captures the ache of seeing a loved one off to the city and the helpless feeling of being left behind as they become an adult, all conveyed through beautiful scenic imagery.
You can really feel the fragility of youth as it reaches its natural end.
Originally included on Kaguyahime’s album “Sankaidate no Uta,” it was released as a single by Iruka in November 1975 and became a massive hit, selling about 800,000 copies.
Although it wasn’t tied to any particular promotion, it continues to be covered by many artists today.
It’s perfect not only for looking back on nostalgic days but also for those embarking on a new path.
ShipwreckNakamori Akina
This is the 19th single, released on June 5, 1987, and a cover of a classic written and composed by singer-songwriter Tokiko Kato.
Its profound lyrics liken the end of love to a shipwreck, and Akina’s delicate, emotional vocal performance was highly praised, earning it the No.
1 spot on the Oricon chart as an enduring ballad.
It remains beloved by fans today as the pinnacle of a “serious ballad,” marked by intense emotional immersion.
The A melody sits low, so be careful not to strain your throat.
Raise your eyebrows firmly as you inhale, then release your voice slowly straight ahead; letting both voice and breath out together can make the low notes a bit easier.
The chorus should fall into a more comfortable range, so try singing it with a slightly more attacking approach.
No.1Makihara Noriyuki
This is one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature songs, which reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly charts.
Set to a lively pop sound, it straightforwardly expresses love for a partner and has long been cherished as a wedding staple.
The overall vocal range is F3 to B4, so it’s not that high.
Since the chorus includes a switch to falsetto, try to sing in a relaxed state without tension.
In the final chorus, the key modulates and the range goes higher.
Rather than forcing it, aim upward and let your breath carry the sound.
Nara Prefectural Citizens’ SongNara Prefecture
This prefectural anthem sings of the history and future of the ancient capital, Nara.
Established in 1968, it features lyrics by Shiro Hagiwara and music by Shoji Fukushima.
The lyrics include venerable place names such as Yoshino and Mount Unebi, creating a solemn composition that conveys the weight of history and the pride of its residents.
Its melody, well-suited for choral performance, also makes it familiar and easy to sing at schools and ceremonies.
Even today, the Prefecture’s Public Relations and Public Hearing Division lends out audio materials, treating it as an important cultural asset of the administration.
It remains a symbol of Nara, cherished for many years at local events and ceremonies.
Night WalkingRYU ITO
A calm chillout instrumental that melts into the silence of the night.
It’s the track that closes RYU ITO Shigeru’s album “Fade,” released in March 2022.
With a lo-fi beat and guitar infused with jazz and soul elements, it evokes the scene of strolling in the night breeze.
Perfect as background music for vlogs, and it gently supports focused time for studying or reading as well.

This track lays bare our excessive emotions toward an entity without a physical form.
Created by Vocaloid producer kuuhaku_void, it features dense club sonics paired with Hatsune Miku’s inorganic vocals.

7.1ozSuda Masaki
This song, which showcases Masaki Suda’s expressive vocals, is known as one of the tracks that shapes the worldview of the album “LOVE.” With lyrics that feel like snapshots of everyday life and a distinctive sense of rhythm, it was written and composed by the singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki.
The song itself is clearly divided between parts that are sung in a matter-of-fact way and parts that are delivered more emotionally.
Rather than focusing too much on precise pitch, it might be better to approach it by articulating the lyrics with feeling.
