AlwaySNiziU
A perfect NiziU song for expressing gratitude to someone special during the season of farewells.
It also made headlines for being written, composed, and produced by Motoki Ohmori of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Unlike their previous pop image, this track is a sweeping ballad that lets you savor their vocals.
It was released for streaming in December 2024, included on the mini-album “AWAKE” released in February 2025, and was also chosen as a special song for the film “The Wild Robot.” Its heartwarming melody and the members’ emotionally rich vocals make it ideal for sharing a reflective mood at a farewell party.

Woman of the Echigo RoadYajima Akiyo
Akayo Yajima is a folk song–enka singer from Yūki City, Ibaraki Prefecture.
A highly skilled performer who has studied folk music since childhood, she has won numerous national competitions.
She debuted as a folk singer in 2017 and now broadens her activities by performing both folk and enka.
Her single “Onna Echigoji,” released in January 2026 as the fourth installment in her authentic enka series, features lyrics by Koyomi Asa and composition by Hideo Mizumori.
It grandly portrays the harsh winter landscapes of Echigo and the emotions of a woman, and her clear, expansive high notes and vibrato—honed through folk music—resonate deeply with listeners.
Let the scenes of the snow country stir your imagination.
Words of FarewellKaientai
When it comes to standard numbers that symbolize the season of farewells, many people probably think of this famous song by Kaientai.
While it actually sings of the pain of a broken heart, it’s filled with deep affection that wishes happiness for the other person, making it a fitting choice for a wedding—a fresh new beginning.
Released as a single in November 1979, it became widely known as the theme song for the TV drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B,” starring Tetsuya Takeda.
Its message—overcoming sorrow to discover kindness—is perfect for scenes where the couple sets off on their journey together as husband and wife, or for expressing gratitude to the parents who raised them.
Also included on the album “Wajinden,” this song gently adds color to that moving moment when you hold back tears and set out with a smile.
Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO dō
Ojamajo Carnival!! is an upbeat, bright, and energetic song.
It’s surprisingly popular at karaoke, and I sing it often too! When you listen, it can sound tricky, but once you actually try singing it, the range isn’t that demanding; as long as you lock into the rhythm, it’s an anime song where high scores are easy to aim for.
That said, the tempo is fast, so the lyrics will end up being a bit of a tongue-twister.
If you move your body too much to keep the beat, you might slip off, so it might help to keep a slightly forward-leaning posture! Interestingly, Masaaki Endoh, known for his tokusatsu songs, has also covered Ojamajo Carnival!! His version is pretty rock-heavy—so much so that from the intro you might be like, “Huh?” because it barely resembles the original—but men should definitely give Endoh’s version a listen!
Of courseDekishiido Za Emonzu
A garage rock band formed in Chiba Prefecture in 1990, pursuing a distinctive vintage sound.
They debuted in 1994 with “Album No.1” and gained support with songs like “Ereki no Wakadaishō.” Their music uniquely fuses ’60s Western rock and Group Sounds, and they’re known for passionate, humor-filled performances.
Although they disbanded after a concert at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall in October 2006, they officially resumed activities in September 2023.
In August 2024, they delighted fans with Jumbo Monet, their first album in 18 years.
Unrequited Love in the Music RoomKeyakizaka46
It’s a Keyakizaka46 song that overlays the feeling of first love onto the sound of a piano echoing through a quiet after-school hallway.
It’s a unit track by Rika Ozeki, Minami Koike, and Neru Nagahama, included on TYPE-D of the single “Ambivalent,” released in August 2018.
The refined scene of someone not opening the music room door where their crush is, instead listening intently to the notes leaking out, tightens the listener’s chest.
If you’re someone who wants to cherish your current relationship without breaking it… this song will surely stay close to your delicate feelings.
Golden SoulShonan no Kaze
It’s a stirring anthem that portrays the fiery way men live and the strength to push forward by breaking through adversity.
Released as a single in February 2008, this song served as the theme for the drama “The Negotiator” and was also used as an insert song in the film “Drop,” amplifying the intensity of both visual works.
Included on the album “Shonan no Kaze ~JOKER~,” it’s a staple that always energizes live shows.
Its powerful message about the importance of fighting yourself rings out over a driving, fast-paced beat.
When you’re on the verge of losing or facing a crucial moment, listening to it will surely give you a strong push forward.
