[2026] Songs to Listen to in November: Late-Autumn Classics, Autumn Tunes (61–70)
FlowerORANGE RANGE
Hana is ORANGE RANGE’s eighth single, released in 2004.
It’s a love song produced under the catchphrase “the tearjerker Range.” Chosen as the theme song for the film Be With You starring Yuko Takeuchi and Shido Nakamura, it reached No.
1 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
While it often ranks high in “spring song” lists, its heartrending lyrics and sound are also a perfect fit for autumn.
It’s a track I’d love for couples to listen to in late fall!
Answer of the Autumn WindFlower
As November comes around, you start to feel those uniquely autumn breezes, and it’s easy to get swept up in a nostalgic mood, isn’t it? Flower’s “Answer of the Autumn Breeze” is themed around that very autumn wind.
With a melody as refreshing as a fall breeze, just listening makes you feel as if you can sense the autumn air.
Give it a listen when you want to immerse yourself in a cool, refreshing autumn atmosphere.
Moon DropsRUI
Tsuki no Shizuku is the second single released under the name RUI by actress Kou Shibasaki in 2003.
Used as both an in-film song and the theme song for the movie Yomigaeri, it gradually gained popularity alongside the film’s success and reached No.
1 on the Oricon singles chart.
The music video combines scenes from the movie with newly shot footage.
The fantastical moon evoked by the lyrics makes it a perfect song for the autumn atmosphere.
It’s a track I highly recommend listening to on an autumn night while gazing at the moon!
I wonder if I’d still say it’s too late.Saucy Dog
This song is by Saucy Dog, a three-piece rock band that overcame a crisis when, at one point, only vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara remained, and whose down-to-earth worldview now has strong support.
It’s included on their second album, “Take Me,” and the opening—marked by a striking guitar arpeggio—carries a wistful tone.
The lyrics, which express regret over not being able to convey one’s feelings through words or actions despite deeply caring for a partner, are something many men in particular may relate to.
It’s a sentimental number, perfect for the season when autumn deepens and a wintry chill begins to set in.
Aki-loveJuliet
Under their Love Series, Juliet has released songs named after the four seasons.
Among them, “Aki Love” is a piece filled with encouragement for a friend.
Juliet is a three-woman vocal group, and this is a track that makes you want to lose yourself in the harmony of their voices.
They stand by a friend who’s struggling, urging, “You don’t have to hold it in—tell me everything,” offering comfort and motivation that invigorates the listener as well.
It’s a song you’ll want to play when seasonal shifts or life changes have you feeling down.
Autumn GradientClariS
This song, included on the album “AUTUMN TRACKS -Songs of Autumn-,” beautifully captures the subtleties of the heart in step with the feel of the season.
The crystalline vocals delicately convey the inability to accept the end of a romance and the lingering attachment.
The lyrics are also striking for portraying emotions that shift with the changing seasons as a “gradient.” Released in October 2024, it’s perfect for listening alone on an autumn evening.
sentimentalHirai Ken
A heartbreakingly sad breakup ballad that I highly recommend for this increasingly chilly season.
It’s a song by singer-songwriter Ken Hirai, included on his sixth album SENTIMENTALovers, released in 2004.
The tune and melody are gentle, and that very ease on the ears makes the lyrical message pierce the heart all the more.
You want them to feel the same way you do…
it makes your chest ache.
It’s a masterpiece best savored alone, giving it your full attention.
