Family photoYoshida Yamada

This song paints a warm portrait of family bonds, spun from a single photograph filled with childhood memories.
Told from a child’s perspective, each everyday scene—like the joy of a new bicycle or tear stains on a park bench—brims with memories anyone can relate to.
While it poignantly conveys the absence of the father behind the camera, it never dwells in sorrow; instead, Yoshida Yamada gently sing a world suffused with warmth.
Released in October 2024, the piece was also chosen as the theme song for RKK Kumamoto Broadcasting’s “Evening Live Getsukin!”, resonating with many through its heartwarming acoustic sound.
On nights when you come home tired from work, listening as you look through family photos will likely stir fond memories and renew your strength for tomorrow.
A Gentle BallAimer

Set to the strains of a dreamlike waltz, a mysterious tale unfolds on the stage of a nighttime ball.
Aimer’s husky, lustrous voice gracefully paints a fantastical scene bathed in moonlight.
The feelings of a girl who keeps dancing within the fleeting hours of the night, searching for faint memories and traces of the past, will resonate deeply with us as adults.
This piece is included on the single “SCOPE,” released in February 2025, and was newly written for NHK’s “Minna no Uta” broadcasts for February and March.
It’s a song you’ll want to savor at the close of the day, in a quiet room—one that will gently accompany and soothe a heart tired from work.
In conclusion
I picked out some songs that, when you’re feeling down, gently resonate with your heart and softly soothe you.
Did any of them speak to you? You don’t have to force yourself to cheer up.
