Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming support mainly on social media.

This work is a single released in 2022 and was used as the commercial song for Universal Studios Japan’s “Let’s slip out of the everyday tonight.” It’s also a popular track included on her major debut full album Kiseki, released in 2025.

An emotional friendship song that fuses the sparkle of youth with a slightly mature sound.

Perfect as BGM for a memory movie with the bride or for use in a performance as the representative of friends.

Love and stuff like that.riria.12rank/position

Riria. / Love, etc. [Music Video]

A delicate love song typical of Riria, adorably expressing both budding feelings and her own endearing awkwardness.

Released in April 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Saint Who Was Deemed Too Perfect and Uncute and Had Her Engagement Broken Off, Then Was Sold to a Neighboring Country,” this track gently portrays the subtle shifts of the heart that come from meeting someone new.

The melody line is gentle, and the high notes in the chorus are easy to sing, making it a great pick to try at karaoke.

Riding a wave of momentum with the release of her album “Kiseki” and a successful solo tour, Riria is a new-generation singer-songwriter.

Highly recommended for those who want to convey their romantic feelings straightforwardly with a voice that resonates in the listener’s heart.

It’s a song that gently enfolds an ambiguous feeling of love.

Riria’s transparent, airy vocals beautifully capture the uncertainty of not knowing whether it’s love.

The delicate lyrics depict the shift from the exhilaration of early romance to a gradual cooling off.

Released digitally in November 2020, the track was created in response to fan requests on social media.

After the video was posted on TikTok, it garnered a total of 300,000 likes and sparked a big reaction.

It’s a song that offers comfort to those troubled by love or grappling with complex romantic feelings.

riria. / By Your Side [Music Video]

This is singer-songwriter Riria’s ninth digital single, released in July 2023.

It was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime My Happy Marriage.

The song features a very gentle melody throughout, so it should be relatively easy to aim for a high score at karaoke.

Try singing while cherishing each word of the lyrics, paying close attention to careful pronunciation and vocal delivery.

Also, be mindful not to let your singing become rough or careless toward the end of the song.

My heart trembles at the words Lilia spins.

Imbued with deep love for a partner and hope for the future, this work was also chosen as the opening theme for the drama “That Girl’s Child.” The desire to cherish the small joys of everyday life and to grow together with a loved one resounds alongside a gentle melody.

Released digitally in June 2024, this song is one you’ll want to hear if you wish to deepen your bond with your partner or if you feel anxious about the future.

Surely, it will kindle a warm light of hope in your heart.

The song by Lilia., known for her translucent, clear vocals, has been selected as the theme for the TV Asahi drama “JK to Roppō Zensho.” Released in April 2024, this marks Lilia.’s first-ever drama theme song.

The lyrics, centered on heartbreak and betrayal, carefully portray the emotions of a woman coming into her own.

Her performance, delivering a catchy melody where fragility and strength coexist, is sure to resonate with listeners.

Be sure to check out the music video featuring Riko Nagase and Takumi Momose.

It’s a song that can support anyone who’s been through similar experiences—definitely give it a listen.

You’re unfair, you know.riria.17rank/position

riria. / Sneaky You. [Music Video]

Riria is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity with down-to-earth lyrics that resonate with young people.

Her music is characterized by catchy J-pop, and many listeners may find all of her songs easy to get into.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is Zurui Kimi (“Unfair You”).

This piece features a melody brimming with a Christmassy sense of happiness, and the gentle tempo throughout is neatly reflected in the vocal lines.

It might come across as somewhat high, but it doesn’t actually span a wide vocal range, so focus on matching the key and give it a try.

Riria. / The Last Bye-Bye [Music Video]

A poignant song by Riria that portrays the pain of heartbreak and the hope of a new beginning.

Centered on communication through social media and messaging apps, it deftly depicts the romantic lives of today’s youth.

The piano- and strings-focused arrangement gently envelops the protagonist’s wavering emotions.

Released in December 2023, this warm ballad accompanies those striving to move forward after heartbreak.

It’s a song that quietly stays by the side of anyone who has experienced a breakup or is about to take a new step.

The “Let’s Slip Away From the Usual Tonight” segment portrays a high-school girl enjoying her day off.

It features an original track with a refreshing vibe, sung by the next-generation artist Riria.

The lyrics—about making the best memories—pair perfectly with her high, clear vocals.

Another highlight is that the song conveys the protagonist’s feelings that aren’t spoken in the commercial itself.

Be sure to listen for that aspect too!

riria. / 3% and Me [Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming support from younger generations mainly on social media.

Released in October 2025, this song was written as the opening theme for the BS TV Tokyo drama “Wakakozake Season 9.” Its lyrics, which express everyday fatigue and emotional wavering through the motif of alcohol, are a standout feature.

The airy sound that makes use of transparent synths and her emotional vocals are soothing.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you need to unwind at the end of the day.
