This is a piece that evokes the spirit of the Meiji era, portraying the Japanese Army in a heroic light.

Historically, it was widely performed at military ceremonies and during departures and homecomings, inspiring many people.

This is a famous song by Maiko Fujita that sings about the real pain of love, inspired by the motif of a sorrowful princess from a fairy tale.

Even though she fell in love first, her feelings never reach him, and she wishes for his happiness as her love dissolves like bubbles—such self-sacrificing affection tightens your chest, doesn’t it? With a passionate, Latin-influenced sound that sets it apart from conventional piano ballads, it feels as if it expresses the fierce emotions hidden within.

Included on the October 2021 album “Wasurerarenai Hito” (The One I Can’t Forget), this song will surely resonate deeply with anyone experiencing a devoted, heartrending love—wishing for the happiness of the one they love, even knowing it won’t be returned.

Rainbow-Colored WarSEKAI NO OWARI

In contrast to its pop, slightly fantastical sound, this song by SEKAI NO OWARI pierces with a biting message.

From the perspective of small creatures like flowers and insects, the work exposes the deceit behind the “peace” and “freedom” proclaimed by humans.

The theme of the “invisible war” we join without noticing—or pretend not to notice—is quintessentially SEKAI NO OWARI.

The track appears on EARTH, a landmark indie-era album released in April 2010.

It’s a song that makes you realize that our ordinary, everyday lives may be built upon someone else’s sacrifice.

NEW YEAR’S EVEHamada Shogo

A classic ballad by singer-songwriter Shogo Hamada that portrays the gentle parting of two people who have been together for many years.

You can almost see the scene of a New Year’s Eve night when, caring for each other yet choosing different paths for the sake of their respective futures, they decide to part ways.

Listening to this song, some may quietly reflect on a past farewell and wonder, “Did that decision allow us both to take a new step forward?” The track was included on the album FATHER’S SON, released in March 1988, and was later self-covered by Hamada.

For those who have had to make a painful choice, this song may feel like one that gently embraces that decision and gives you the strength to look ahead—an intimate companion to the heart.
