counting song

A song that carefully counts each event in a life, reexamining its joys and sorrows.

The lyrics weave in the disillusionment felt while trying to live decently as a human being, the difficulty of continuing to trust others, and the importance of having someone with whom you can share your burdens—and it’s impossible not to feel deep empathy.

This work was released in February 2017 and is included on the album “Message Bottle.” When you’re on the verge of losing sight of your purpose or feeling profound loneliness, its warm voice will gently stay by your side and soothe your heart.

amazarashi "I Was Waiting for Summer"

A song I’d like to introduce as one you’ll want to listen to over and over is “We Were Waiting for Summer.” It’s a track released by the rock band amazarashi.

At first glance, it sounds like a fast-paced, exhilarating pop song, but if you listen closely, you’ll realize that’s not quite the case.

This is a bit of a spoiler, but the lyrics depict summer vacation from the perspectives of four different characters.

And as you read each set of lyrics carefully, a heartrending truth comes to light.

Once moreamazarashi11rank/position

amazarashi 'Once Again'

A two-piece rock band from Aomori Prefecture, amazarashi, whose name comes from the concept of “likening the sadness and suffering that befall us in everyday life to rain—we’re left out in the rain, but we still want to sing about the ‘even so.’” This track, included on their second album, Youhi Shinkou Higashism (Sunset Worship Higashism), opens with a modern beat and a catchy guitar riff that builds anticipation for the song.

The lyrics tell a story of facing one’s own weaknesses and past, and standing up to change—messages that may give a push to those who find it hard to get moving.

With its catchy melody and true-to-life lyrics, it’s a tear-jerker of a number.

amazarashi 'Crushed by the Empty Sky'

There are times when you’re hurting or troubled that, rather than listening to upbeat songs, you want to go all-in on something negative—music that’s closer to how you really feel—so you can sink to the bottom, wrestle with it, and find an answer.

Many of amazarashi’s songs hit perfectly for people who are struggling, and “Crushed by an Empty Sky” is exactly one of those tracks.

It’s a song I want people to hear when they’re stuck in their own heads, going in circles, with the frustration only building.

A track that stays by your side and seems to understand how you feel right now can be a real source of strength.

Christmasamazarashi13rank/position

amazarashi Christmas – Full Music Box Arrangement / Christmas – ACE Fantasy

This amazarashi song paints a winter scene filled with kindness.

Its unique worldview—where the beauty of falling snow intersects with the cruelty of the world—is striking.

Released in November 2010, it’s an early signature work that shines with profound lyrics and a distinctive musical style.

It delicately conveys complex emotions where personal confessions and prayers for the world, hope and despair, are all intertwined.

The melody, which lets you feel the pain and sorrow within beauty, is recommended for those who wish to spend Christmas night quietly alone.

You can fully savor its unique melody even in a music box version.

This work by amazarashi, a rock band known for its emotional musicality, was released in 2021 as their seventh single.

It was chosen as the opening theme for the second season of the anime “86 -Eighty Six-,” which depicts the story of boys and girls thrown into war.

It’s a solid anime song that conveys the impermanence of the world and a resolve to keep living in spite of it.
