Miyuki Nakajima - Doukoku (Lament) Cover by XXkurage

A song used as the theme for the 1993 TV drama “Ano Hi ni Kaeritai” (I Want to Go Back to That Day).

It is also known for being sung by Shizuka Kudo, who appeared in the drama alongside Momoko Kikuchi.

The lyrics are by Miyuki Nakajima, while the music was composed by Tsugutoshi Goto.

It’s a heartbreak song about a woman whose beloved finds a new partner and promptly tells her about it.

The phrase “good friends” is the most cruel one in romance—this song makes you feel exactly that.

It’s a song included on the album “Kansuigyo.” Although it wasn’t released as a single, it’s an epic piece that closes out the album and is extremely popular among fans.

The lyrics capture her charm; at first glance it’s hard to imagine what exactly is being sung about, but it seems fun to read them over and over and find your own interpretation.

I’m not your little sister, you know.Nakajima Miyuki73rank/position

I mean it like Miyuki Nakajima’s “It’s not like I’m your little sister.”

These lyrics express that no matter how deeply you feel for your lover, since you’re not siblings, once you break up the relationship ends there.

It’s a relaxed medium-tempo number with a pleasant waltz rhythm.

It is included on the album EAST ASIA, released in 2001.

ingrate

Despite its seemingly dismissive title at first glance, this is actually a ballad by Miyuki Nakajima that sings of unconditional love.

Released in October 2012 as her 43rd single, it colored the story as the theme song for the drama “Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo.” You can feel a gaze that wraps even the other person’s straightforward—if a bit bothersome—actions in great affection.

The simple arrangement centered on piano and strings, if anything, highlights the lyrics’ poignancy and warmth.

It’s a song that makes your heart swell with the beauty of caring for someone without expecting anything in return.

4.2.3Nakajima Miyuki75rank/position

4.2.3.

This is “4.2.3.” from Miyuki Nakajima’s 1998 album “Become My Child,” by an artist known for many hit songs.

It was written with the Japanese embassy residence hostage crisis in Peru as its motif.

An unconventional work by Nakajima, it conveys the misery and powerlessness seen through the television screen.

It’s a highly message-driven song that faithfully reflects in its lyrics what she thought while watching TV.
