Birthday / (Live Edit)

This is a birthday song by Japan’s songstress Namie Amuro, who retired in September 2018.

Speaking of Amuro, she churned out hit songs in the ’90s and was so popular she became a social phenomenon.

It’s a very happy number, so I think it’s perfect for celebrating a baby’s birth at a party!

"Melt" / ryo — Drawn and Sung Cover / Kuro-Usagi Uru × Kana (illust) [MV]

It’s so cute that on the morning of a date with the boy she wants to be mutually in love with, she even cuts her bangs just to get a little reaction from him.

She goes out looking super cute for the date, but can’t even meet his eyes.

It’s an adorable song that captures the feelings of such an innocent girl.

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

It became a huge hit as the theme song for the million-selling film “Your Name.” The lyrics are very passionate, yet it’s a cool love song without being too sweet.

Above all, the movie and the song are a perfect match, and when I heard it during the film, it gave me goosebumps.

The music video is also fun and great.

It’s the theme song of the movie “Your Name.” RADWIMPS’ “Zenzenzense” is great too, but if you want to quietly feel the love, this one is more recommended.

It’s a song for a couple who have pledged eternity.

This rock ballad strikes the heart and stirs the senses, bringing tears to your eyes naturally.

Although this track was created as the theme song for the film Bakuman.

DISH// (Takumi Kitamura) – Neko / THE FIRST TAKE

This is a moving song that overlays the end of a bittersweet love with the ephemeral freedom of a cat.

Written and composed by singer-songwriter Aimyon, it beautifully harmonizes with DISH//’s musical style to create a true masterpiece.

Released in August 2017 as the B-side to the single “We Did It,” it was later featured in 2020 as an insert song in the drama “Cat.” That same year, it received the Excellence Award at the 62nd Japan Record Awards and was included on the album “X.” Embracing listeners who have experienced parting with someone dear, this heartwarming track gently holds universal feelings of loss and lingering attachment, while nurturing the strength to keep looking forward.
