Hana Sekitori - If It Were Up to Me

Singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori, who garnered attention after performing acoustic guitar and vocals, released “Moshimo Boku ni” in 2017—a song about what messages she would give if she had a child.

Over a warm, band-driven sound and a melody that resonates, her words unfold as if speaking directly to you, conveying what she hopes one would cherish amid the many twists and turns of life.

Those messages may feel like encouragement addressed to you personally.

Paired with her supple, beautiful voice, the song gently sinks into your heart.

Lend an ear to the words that stay close to your fears and loneliness.

You in OctoberSekitori Hana2rank/position

You in October

There are times when your heart just can’t keep up with the sudden parting from someone dear.

Sung by singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori, this piece is a track from her mini-album “Chūkurai no Hanashi,” released in November 2012.

With a warm, enfolding gentleness, her voice weaves together the sorrow and sense of loss that come from losing someone important without any time to prepare your heart.

True to its title that evokes the season when autumn’s presence can be felt, the song carries a subtly lonely atmosphere, one that naturally overlays itself with the memories of someone you’ve lost.

The restrained, unexplanatory choice of words is part of its charm, allowing it to resonate with each listener’s own experiences.

It’s a song you’ll want to hear when you can’t accept a farewell to someone precious and want to look back on your memories.

Hana Sekitori - Betsuni (Not Really)

“Betsuni” is a cute, pop-tinged song about a touch of jealousy.

It was released in 2016 as the B-side to the single “Kimi no Sumu Machi.” Thanks to appearances on TV programs sparked by “Gyoretsu no Dekiru Soudansho,” the song often led to her being introduced as the “Queen of Spite Songs,” garnering plenty of buzz.

Centered on the theme of couples flirting at stations and around town, it portrays the feeling of trying to look away but still getting curious—and jealous.

Depending on how over-the-top the flirting is, it can even be irritating.

These sentiments are delivered with a touch of comedy, making the song surprisingly uplifting.

Farewell, Cotton GirlSekitori Hana4rank/position

Hana Sekitori - Farewell, Cotton Girl (Live) 2016/8/23

I realized you were pushing yourself.

Eating French bread with tea at a stylish bakery, buying books you can’t read at a used bookstore, just putting them on the shelf without reading them.

I think you should listen to this song before we fight, and after we break up.

As for ending up hating me, I suppose it can’t be helped.

Sekitori Hana - Musume

“Musume” is the song I want you to listen to when you need to fire yourself up.

Chosen as the theme for Kobe Women’s University’s commercial, this track is a slow ballad from the 2011 album “Chugurai no Hanashi.” It sings about parting with family and making a resolve as you step into a new life.

The occasional lines delivered in a strong tone carry messages of encouragement that hit straight to the heart.

If you’ve had similar experiences when you were young—say, during your student days—you’ll especially relate, and you might even find your eyes welling up as you recall your father’s and mother’s words.

“Musume,” and of course “Musuko,” is an empowering song that anyone moving toward the future can connect with.

First LoveSekitori Hana6rank/position

First Love / Hana Sekitori

This song, included on the 2014 album “Iza Yukan,” stands out for its acoustic vibe.

Built on warm acoustic guitar arpeggios, the light, shuffling percussion rhythm feels wonderfully pleasant.

The romantic lyrics evoke a sense of story, and the worldview of two people who have experienced an unforgettable first love is portrayed vividly.

Because the accompaniment is simple, you can fully savor her soft, richly nuanced vocals.

“Another Day I Failed” simply stays by your side on a bad day.

It’s a mid-tempo track included on the 2017 full album “There’s Someone Who Looks a Lot Like You.” The image of falling asleep without taking off your makeup is something many women will surely relate to.

Even when you fire yourself up—This time for sure! This year for sure!—it’s hard to keep it going, isn’t it? This song gently sings about that current version of yourself, far from your ideals, with a warm acoustic sound.

It’s like a magical song that somehow wraps a failed day in a cheerful glow.

Not bad.Sekitori Hana8rank/position

Hanawa Sekitori “Not Bad” MUSIC VIDEO

Hana Sekitori is a female singer-songwriter who’s gaining popularity for her emotionally resonant musicality.

Her voice is perfectly described as rounded and warm, and you can always hear the emotion in her slightly lower-range vocals.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Warukunai (“Not Bad”).

It has a style reminiscent of Miyuki Nakajima, and from the verse to the chorus you’ll find richly textured mid-to-low register phrases in every part.

The vocal line is very simple, so it’s also easy to sing, making it an easy recommendation.

Take Me Out to the Ball GameSekitori Hana10rank/position

Take Me Out To The Ball Game | Kids Songs | Super Simple Songs

In the Spacia commercial “The Family: Ukulele by the Seaside/Evening” featuring Mana Ashida, Kokoro Terada, Jiro Sato, and Noriko Nakagoshi as a family, the song playing is a parody of the well-known Major League Baseball tune “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” covered by singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori.

In the original, the Japanese title “Watashi o Yakyū ni Tsurete tte” (Take Me Out to the Ball Game) directly expresses the protagonist’s feelings in the lyrics.

Mirroring that, the commercial’s version conveys the sentiment, “Let’s ride in the Spacia and go to all kinds of places.” It’s a song that stirs the excitement of going out by car, with lines like “Where should we go next?” and “I’m looking forward to going there today.”
