Naotaro Moriyama – Ah

Naotaro Moriyama is a one-of-a-kind performer who makes us feel many kinds of preciousness.

“Aa” is the title track of the album of the same name released in 2016.

This song, which sings of the changing seasons and the wonders of nature, delivers a silent, overflowing joy that strikes deeply at the heart.

It also marked his return after a six-month hiatus, and Moriyama’s beautiful expression—reflecting his personal craze for “day-trip camping” and the boyish spirit he nurtured while spending time at a mountain hut he purchased—is wonderful.

It aligns perfectly with the true appeal of camping, which lies in trial and error and enjoyment, and it makes us keenly aware that even time spent resting is also part of truly “being alive.”

Hibi / Naotaro Moriyama (cover)

I like a lot of Naotaro Moriyama’s songs, but I think this is the one that makes me want to play it on acoustic guitar.

It’s not a flashy song, but if you listen closely, it gradually seeps into your heart.

Yahagi in the music video also fits perfectly.

Naotaro Moriyama / “Ikiteiru” Music Video

This piece is included on Yumizuruhanoha, one of the two concept albums—Yumizuruhanoha and Yeeeehaaaaw—released by Naotaro Moriyama in October 2025.

It’s a song that gazes into the very source of life.

Built solely around piano and strings, its ambient soundscape gently envelops the tremors and transience of everyday life.

Moriyama’s deep, folk-rooted vocals and lyrical melody resonate in the heart.

It’s a track that quietly stays by your side when you lose your way in life.

Rhapsody of Hydrangeas and RainMoriyama Naotaro33rank/position

Naotaro Moriyama Rhapsody of Hydrangeas and Rain

You wouldn’t think it’s a stalker song unless you listen carefully—this track, Naotaro Moriyama’s “Hydrangea and Rain Rhapsody.” If you listen casually, you might take it for a peppy love song, but in fact it’s very much a stalker song.

It’s one of the tracks on Moriyama’s third album, “In Search of New Spices,” released in 2004.

From the title and lyrics you might expect a breezy love song for the rainy season, but it’s actually a number that conveys a sense of madness hidden beneath that breeziness, as the narrator slowly corners the other person.

Taste of SinMoriyama Naotaro34rank/position

Naotaro Moriyama conveys the “sinfully delicious” taste: Nissin Foods’ Bukkokumi-meshi forbidden theme song, “Flavor of Sin.”

Cup Noodles BUKKOMI-MESHI, which has gained popularity for its style of throwing rice into leftover ramen broth, is a product that Nissin Foods seriously researched and developed—fully aware of its sinful deliciousness—and it became a hit.

Now that this product has collaborated with Naotaro Moriyama, the result is a profoundly moving and beautiful ballad number that resonates deep in the heart.

Naotaro Moriyama "Young People"

The theme song of the drama “Wakamonotachi” (Young People).

Family bonds, love, life.

It’s a wonderful song that makes you feel you can face everything in life with just this one track.

Whenever I go through something tough, I listen to this song and find comfort in Naotaro Moriyama’s voice.
