19 MemoriesKato Miria

This is a popular number by Miliyah Kato that vividly captures the delicate emotions of a teenager at the brink of adulthood, swaying between being a child and an adult.

It was inspired by Namie Amuro’s classic “SWEET 19 BLUES,” and reflects Kato’s own genuine feelings when she was 19.

You can really feel the painfully honest, complex mindset of youth—wanting to act strong but actually feeling fragile.

Released in February 2008, the track is included on albums such as TOKYO STAR.

For those listening during that time of life when anticipation and anxiety about becoming an adult are intertwined, its bittersweet melody may truly resonate and capture your heart.

An inspiring cheer song by Masaharu Fukuyama that celebrates the value of hard work on a grand scale.

Released in August 2016, the track was used as the theme song for TV Asahi’s Olympic broadcasts, featuring in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Titled after the number of days in a four-year span including a leap year, its lyrics powerfully affirm the moment when earnest effort is rewarded—one of the song’s most moving points.

The straightforward rock sound and soaring chorus are sure to resonate with anyone striving toward a big goal.

The song was later included on the album “AKIRA.” When you want to fire yourself up, try listening while taking the lyrics to heart.

The greatest sound machine in the East: Crazy Ken Band.

Known for tracks like “Tiger & Dragon,” they’re a stylish, sophisticated band with serious chops.

Arguably, they’re the only group that’s mixed elements of R&B and soul into enka and pushed the sound this far into the neo realm.

The piece where you can savor frontman Ken Yokoyama’s low-register voice is “December 17.” Written as an insert song for the popular game Yakuza 2, it features a deeply cool set of lyrics and a vocal line that makes the most of his bass tones.

Kana Nishino, a female singer-songwriter who dominated the early 2010s music scene.

While she may not be the exact generation match for women in their early thirties, many of them still listened to her songs.

That’s why I recommend “15.” It marks a clear shift from her previous style, featuring a sound with some hip-hop influences.

The vocal lines are easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

The track is characterized by a delicate, lyrical worldview—like watching a short film.
