Soothing songs: Heart-calming tracks to listen to when you're tired or feeling down (41–50)
cherry blossomMoriyama Naotaro
Sakura is a famous song by Naotaro Moriyama.
Speaking of Naotaro Moriyama, he is the son of Ryoko Moriyama.
His gentle, soothing voice—passed down from his mother—is loved by people of all ages, and many probably feel like listening to this song when spring arrives.
Its warm, spring-evoking melody brings us comfort.
Shower Room RendezvousSugawara Kei
Because she lacks confidence in herself, she worries about how the other person sees her.
That emotional state of a woman is what the song “Shower Room Rendezvous” portrays.
It’s a track created by singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara, with arrangement by yuigot.
As the title suggests, the setting is a shower room, where she quietly sings of swirling negative emotions.
The detailed scenic descriptions further accentuate the song’s bittersweet message.
As you listen, pay attention as well to what those scenes are trying to convey.
Things that have formShibasaki Kou
Released in 2004 as Kou Shibasaki’s sixth single, this song was used as the theme for the TV drama adaptation of “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World,” which originated as a novel and was later made into a hugely successful film.
The lyrics, which tie into the drama’s story, are heartrending and poignant.
It’s a song you’ll want to immerse yourself in when you’re going through tough times.
Watarase BridgeMoritaka Chisato
This song, Watarasebashi, is the 17th single by Chisato Moritaka, released in 1993.
The title is the name of an actual bridge in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, and the lyrics depict the scenery and imagery around it.
Many artists have covered the song, and among them Aya Matsuura’s cover is especially well-known.

This song has become a staple in live shows.
The chorus has a bouncy rhythm that lets everyone jump and have fun together at concerts.
In addition to that live-show excitement, the lyrics that powerfully push you forward and give you courage are also worth noting.
rainbowELLEGARDEN
It’s included on their fourth album, “RIOT ON THE GRILL.” The song was created by vocalist/guitarist Takeshi Hosomi, inspired by the sight of a rainbow he watched after a live show together with Masafumi Goto of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and Atsushi Horie of Straightener.
The haze in the heart clears, and a rainbow appears.
OrangeSMAP
For men in their thirties, since the artist is around the same age, I imagine many listen to this song to heal the wounds of a broken heart.
If you listen closely to the lyrics while playing this track, you may find yourself unable to hold back the tears.
