GOING STEADY Night on the Galactic Railroad

A song by GOING STEADY, a legendary punk rock band that started in 1996 and disbanded in 2003.

Vocalist Mineta’s raw singing voice feels like a direct cry from the heart, and it really brings you to tears! It’s also a track with a sparkling, beautiful melody that’s truly captivating.

Night of Osmanthuskinoko teikoku45rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku — Night of the Osmanthus

The shoegaze band Kinoko Teikoku.

With a languid, ennui-tinged vocal and fluid instrumentation, their songs capture delicate emotions perfectly—just right for nights spent alone.

Among them, ‘Kinmokusei no Yoru’ is especially a track to play in early autumn, when you find yourself longing for someone’s warmth.

It conveys feelings everyone has held at least once and the goodbyes we’ve experienced, in a way only Kinoko Teikoku can.

It’s recommended for those sluggish, meandering nights spent reminiscing about someone you once parted from and the days you shared.

LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE46rank/position

Loneliness

This track, included on the album ANTENNA released in July 2023, squarely asks how we confront loneliness.

It portrays the protagonist’s introspection as they try to take a step forward despite their weakness and sense of stagnation, with lyrics that are striking for the heartbeat that emerges not by rejecting loneliness, but by accepting it.

In live performances, it’s unveiled amid a spectacle of pillars of flame in the darkness, and despite being an album track, it instantly raises the venue’s energy with its commanding presence.

The sound—where dark emotionality coexists with the driving force of dance music—is truly one of a kind.

It’s a song that quietly stays by your side on nights when you want to face yourself or when you want to confirm the feelings deep in your heart.

What do you want to become?Rozarīna48rank/position

Rosalina 'What Do You Want To Be,' Official Lyric Video

I don’t know what I want to do or what kind of person I want to become.

But when I look around, it feels like everyone else is doing well.

This is a song I want you to listen to when you feel that kind of loneliness.

It’s not a song that gives advice like “Here’s what you should do,” but it depicts the pain of being stuck so honestly that I can’t help but relate to it.

It’s the kind of struggle that’s hard to talk to people about.

If you’re hurting but still smiling, don’t hold it in—listen to this song and let yourself cry.

Love letterKobasoro feat. Harucha49rank/position

[MV] Love Letter feat. Harucha / Kobasolo

A collaborative song by singer-songwriter Kobasolo and popular vocalist Harucha.

It’s a warm track that brings to mind the faces of loved ones—not just a partner, but also family and friends.

We all wonder at least once in our lives, “Am I necessary to someone?” When you feel that kind of loneliness, this song seems to remind you of the people who truly matter.

And if those important people are feeling the same loneliness, it makes you want to tell them, “You matter; I need you.” If everyone who feels lonely listens together, I’m sure none of us will feel lonely anymore.
