Spring Comes to UsUNISON SQUARE GARDEN71rank/position
This is a song by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN with a warm atmosphere that evokes the freshness of early summer.
It was also used as the opening theme for the anime March Comes in Like a Lion.
The inclusion of strings in the sound gives the track an even more grand and moving feel.
The gentle lyrics are memorable as well, expressing a cherished fondness for memories with friends and encouraging each other to keep moving forward while thinking of one another, even when apart.
weak insectBaba Toshihiko72rank/position
Some of you may have just gone through a change in your environment this spring and are feeling lonely or anxious.
For you, I recommend listening to Toshihide Baba’s “Yowai Mushi” (“Weak Bug”).
Its lyrics depict the frailty of people who look down on those weaker than themselves, as well as one’s own negativity.
As you listen, pay attention to what kind of mindset the narrator reaches after confronting these feelings.
By the way, the music video is also known for being created by the comedian Tekken.
Be sure to watch it alongside the song.
Before the departureWANIMA73rank/position
This is a song by WANIMA that stands by those who feel nothing goes right, giving them the strength to hold on just a little longer in the moment.
The band’s signature forward-driving sound leaves the impression of quietly igniting your fighting spirit.
It carries a powerful message that when you face worries and hardships, hanging in there just a bit more might lead to a brighter future.
It’s a powerful track that makes you believe in your own possibilities—having the courage to stand your ground and the courage to try again.
For those struggling with the May blues, it may offer a chance to face their own hearts.
LETTER ~A Sound Letter to My Mom~G274rank/position
As the title suggests, lyrics written like a letter are perfect for conveying feelings just as they are.
Rather than aiming for something stylish and cool, the image is more about love and gratitude for a mother close to you.
How about offering honest words set to a smooth, comforting melody?
The True Nature of TearsSUPER BEAVER75rank/position
A warm ballad by SUPER BEAVER that powerfully sings of delicate feelings deep within the heart.
Written in January 2025 as the theme song for NHK General’s late-night drama “Vanilla na Mainichi,” this piece gently embraces unspoken feelings and the struggle to be honest with oneself.
Born from the band’s vigorous activity following their major-label re-signing, it delivers a sound that suggests a new frontier following the album “Ongaku.” It’s a song that offers a chance to face your true self through tears when you feel lost to the May blues.
It will quietly stay close to those whose hearts waver between wanting to be recognized by others and wanting to remain true to themselves.
nostalgiaEvery Little Thing76rank/position
Released in 2002 as Every Little Thing’s 22nd single, it was their first concept maxi single, titled “UNTITLED 4 ballads.” Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Okaasan to Issho” (With Mother-in-Law), it’s a song that makes you reflect on having taken your mother’s presence for granted.
HOMEAnjura Aki77rank/position
This is Angela Aki’s major-label debut single, a song that longs for her hometown.
When we’re tired or feeling down, the one we remember is, after all, the gentle mother back home, isn’t it? It might be nice to return to your hometown for Mother’s Day.
