Cleaning ladyYūkadan
This debut single by Yūkadan, whose raspy vocals are hailed as an “angel’s husky voice,” seizes listeners’ hearts.
It’s a Japanese blues number that candidly portrays the daily life of an office-building cleaner and the earnest wish hidden within.
The stark reality of a 2,000-yen day wage and the gap with a modest dream are superbly expressed through Atsuki Kimura’s deeply human vocals and Kantaro Uchida’s masterful slide guitar.
Released in October 1975, the song is also legendary for having its broadcast restricted just one week after release due to its shocking lyrics.
It’s a warm yet powerful number that gently stays by your side when you’re weighed down by the futility of everyday life.
Welcome back.Tani Yuuki
Singer-songwriter Tani Yuuki, who set out on a musical path after receiving a guitar from his grandfather.
While he may be strongly associated with TikTok sensations like “Myra” and “W/X/Y,” this song is a sublime ballad that gently wraps around the heart.
Included on his first album, Memories, it was released as a single on his own birthday in November 2022.
Its lyrics, which convey the feelings of thinking of a loved one from afar—as if waiting for their destined partner since the moment they were born—are sure to move listeners to tears.
The earnest love that believes they are bound by a “red string” even when far apart spreads through the heart on a calm melody.
If you listen on a night when you’re thinking of family or a partner you can’t see, it may help you reaffirm that bond.
Please, Bach!Hinatazaka46
A bright song with a catchy chorus melody and an appealing sense of rhythm.
Since many parts aren’t too high and can be sung without strain, it’s a relatively easy idol song for women to sing! It’s a cheerful, energetic track characteristic of Hinatazaka, so it will definitely get the crowd going! There are sections with a lot of words, but instead of trying to articulate every single syllable, you’ll sing more rhythmically if you keep it light and ride the melody.
You might initially struggle with the rhythm in the B-melody, but if you stay calm and focus on the spacing, the rhythm will lock in—so don’t worry.
Keep the meter in 4/4, and imagine resting on the first beat before singing.
Once you get that space right, it’ll sound really cool! There’s also a touch of Bach in the latter half of the song, making it irresistible for classical music fans!

OyasumiSaucy Dog
At the end of the day, this is the Saucy Dog song I want to listen to while reflecting on what happened.
In fact, the track is based on a voice memo recorded six years ago, and it’s a special number that’s been carefully polished over time.
It carries a warm message that gently makes you realize just how precious the everyday moments with someone important truly are.
Starting softly and gradually growing more emotional, the band’s sound slowly seeps into the listener’s heart.

Packed with a strong will to carve out the future through one’s own unique expression, even while wounded, it gently gives listeners a push forward.
It’s the kind of song that will surely give you courage when you’re starting a new challenge or feel like you’re losing sight of yourself.

This is a song that teaches you how the presence of a cherished friend can light up your world.
