Written in 2021 as an inspire song for the NHK Taiga drama “Reach Beyond the Blue Sky,” the track—left unreleased for nearly four years—finally became available for streaming in October 2025.

Inspired by the life of Eiichi Shibusawa, the piece confronts a reality that cannot be satisfied by existing norms or ready-made answers, while singing of the will to keep moving forward nonetheless.

Its stance of accepting one’s imperfect self as is and choosing to live with a smile carries a message that resonates especially in today’s era, when self-denial often prevails.

How Do I Know (Theme Song for TV Asahi Thursday Drama 'PJ ~Air Rescue Squadron~') / Vaundy: Music Video
How could I possibly know?Vaundy

This is a song by Vaundy that portrays someone moving forward while engaging in self-questioning and internal conflict.

Released as a single in April 2025, it was featured not only in Sony Life’s commercial “Let’s Love Our Purpose in Life” but also as the theme song for the drama “PJ: Air Rescue Group.” The chorus’s beautifully grand melodic line is striking, and you can fully enjoy Vaundy’s expansive vocals.

It’s a song I recommend listening to while looking at the lyric sheet, imagining the feelings woven into the words.

A song produced for an NHK General TV project to be performed together with 1,000 18-year-olds.

Created by Vaundy, a multi-artist overwhelmingly supported by young people, it was released digitally in December 2025.

The lyrics are distinctive for the way they intertwine personal loneliness with a grand, expansive worldview, and the layered group vocals build an anthemic sense of uplift.

By earnestly taking on a technically demanding piece, it’s designed to let performers feel the beauty of challenge and the weight of seeing it through.

Filled with the feelings of the same generation, it’s perfect for high school students who want to strengthen class unity at events like school festivals or graduation ceremonies.

The song chosen as the theme for the film “Just Remembering” is “Like Breathing.” Included on the 2023 release of the second album “replica,” it became Vaundy’s first movie theme song.

The chorus begins in a slightly higher range, so you’ll need to project your voice, but up until the end of the second verse, it stays relatively restrained and steady, making it easier to sing.

After the second verse, it shifts into a powerful rock ballad, so release the restraint and sing with full energy.

Vaundy, whose mellow tunes are also popular, has many fans who love his languid, ennui-tinged songs.

For those listeners, we recommend the track “Sōmatō” (“Revolving Lantern”).

This piece blends elements of indie rock and indie pop, characterized by a laid-back feel throughout.

While the chorus requires a powerful delivery, the long tones use a “fall” technique—gently dropping the pitch—which makes it easier to sing even for those who aren’t confident with their breathing.

Singer-songwriter Vaundy is known for his wide-ranging musicality, spanning from orthodox rock to R&B-inspired tunes.

He has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “GORILLA Shibai.” This piece features a simple, downtempo melody characteristic of neo-soul.

While it requires a feel for off-beat rhythms, it doesn’t demand advanced vocal technique, so give it a try and sing along.

Singer-songwriter Vaundy, who handles everything himself from songwriting and composition to video direction, radiates multifaceted appeal.

Featuring Cory Wong as a guest, this track beautifully balances a brisk, funk-derived cutting guitar with a wistful melody.

While portraying the inner conflict of a character wavering within their family, it carries a warmth that cuts through doubt and affirms.

Released in October 2023, the song is also included on the album “replica.” It was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY Season 2.

With an arrangement that evokes a cinematic sense of depth, it’s a perfect pop tune for those who want to listen quietly alone on a night drive.
