A song that likens a person’s life to a jersey number.

No matter how famous you become, time will make people forget you, and even vows made with a loved one may go unkept.

In a world full of such uncertainties, the lyrics sound like a proud declaration that one’s own existence is one of a kind.

In a sense, the final track is an ideal pop song.

It sings about everyday life, and it’s become a song I want to listen to before heading to work each day.

For office workers around the same age, I think playing it during breakfast will help you get through the day somehow.

Milk 32, which poignantly captures the feelings of a woman heartbroken in love, is a hidden gem from the 1978 album Say You Love Me.

With relatively gentle melodic ups and downs, it’s perfect for karaoke.

Its acoustic vibe is also appealing, making it a great choice when you want to sing in a slightly ennui mood and relax.

To avoid a monotonous delivery, try adding contrast between the first half and the second half for an even better atmosphere.

Released in 2009 as the 41st single, this song showcases Miyuki Nakajima’s straightforward and powerful vocals that are truly overwhelming.

It’s a song that seems to encourage those in tough situations, and I think singing it will fill you with energy.

Please try singing it with all your might.

It was also used as the theme song for the film “Zero Focus.”

O seaNakajima Miyuki

This is a song by Miyuki Nakajima that evokes the image of sending one’s thoughts out toward the vast sea.

It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Umi yo Omae ga — The Youth of the Sailing Ship Nippon Maru,” directed by Yukio Ninagawa.

In harmony with the film’s themes, the lyrics feel as though sailors are speaking to the sea, reflecting on the sea that has always been close by and the memories tied to it.

It’s a gentle, soothing piece that lets you feel the great sea that embraces every emotion.

It’s the theme song from the 1994 TV drama starring Yumi Adachi.

The drama, which included scenes so extreme they’d be unthinkable today, was so popular it even won a Buzzword of the Year Award.

The powerful vocals, as if speaking on behalf of the protagonist, are truly empowering.

This song carries a weight so heavy you can almost feel it.

Miyuki Nakajima’s “Dare no Sei Demo Nai Ame ga” (“The Rain That Is No One’s Fault”) is one of those tracks whose enigmatic lyrics—what they’re saying, what they make you feel—are often debated among fans.

The song is included on Nakajima’s tenth album, Yokan (Premonition), released in 1983.

Is it about war? The lyrics, which can be read that way, leave you with an undeniable sense of absurdity.

It may be a song to listen to while thinking of someone who has passed away, one that seems capable of doing something—however small—about your grief and the hole left in your heart.
