swallowYOASOBI21rank/position
A song performed by the male-female duo YOASOBI, who turn novels into music, together with the elementary school unit Midories.
Chosen as the theme song for NHK’s children’s SDGs program “Hirogare! Irotoridori,” it’s a heartwarming number featuring a story told from the perspective of a small swallow and a pentatonic “yo-na-nuki” melody that conveys hope for the future.
Released as a single in October 2021, it was later included on the album THE BOOK 2.
With a light rhythm set to a contemporary sound and the familiar, approachable contours of the yo-na-nuki scale blending with the children’s voices, the piece fosters a sense of unity in listeners.
It reaffirms the comfort of a universal melody beloved across generations.
MisterYOASOBI22rank/position
This is a song that portrays a bittersweet love story.
The protagonist’s immaturity and the sense of loss for someone dear are strikingly expressed.
Released digitally in February 2022, it drew attention as the first installment of a collaboration project with a Naoki Prize–winning author.
Its first full play on the TV program “All Night Nippon X” is still fresh in our memory.
The electro-pop sound and translucent vocals make it an alluring track.
With its slow tempo and singable melody, be sure to give it a try at karaoke!
New meYOASOBI23rank/position
YOASOBI’s new song “New me.” When you think of YOASOBI, sparkling pop tunes come to mind, but this track, while retaining that flavor, features smooth vocals that incorporate elements of city pop.
Musically, it has frequent key changes and falsetto, with pronounced jumps in pitch.
It doesn’t demand powerful vocals, but it does require impeccably precise pitch control, almost like a Vocaloid.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
Standing on stageYOASOBI24rank/position
This commercial showcases the immersive photography features of the Galaxy S25 Ultra through scenes of people filming at a YOASOBI live concert.
At shows where recording is permitted, it captures real users’ impressions, conveying the kinds of experiences made possible by up to 100x zoom and reflection removal.
The song that further amplifies the excitement of these newly depicted experiences is YOASOBI’s “Butai ni Tatte” (“Stand on the Stage”).
With its refreshing sound and memorable rhythm, the track’s overall bright mood evokes a positive step toward the future.
If I Could Paint LifeYOASOBI25rank/position
It’s a grand number that portrays profound love for those left behind.
Created by the musical duo YOASOBI—composer Ayase and vocalist ikura—the piece unfolds from a quiet introduction into waves of expansive sound, while the gentle, conversational vocals stir a poignant longing for lost time.
Produced as the theme song for a stage play directed by Osamu Suzuki and starring Kei Tanaka, it was first included on the acclaimed December 2021 release THE BOOK 2, and later issued as a standalone work in August 2022.
It’s a song that will stay close to you when memories of the past come rushing in and become painful, or when you wish to calmly reflect on days spent with someone who has passed.
monotoneYOASOBI26rank/position
YOASOBI’s masterpiece “Monotone.” When it comes to YOASOBI, they’re known for lots of high-range parts, with vocal lines that repeatedly switch between chest voice and falsetto—very distinctive, right? This piece, however, differs from that impression; in a word, it feels like a song with an extremely wide vocal range.
The low notes in particular are astonishingly low—most women with an average voice type simply can’t produce them.
The chorus does bring in solid high parts as well, making it a high-difficulty song that really depends on the singer’s vocal quality.
Taisho RomanticismYOASOBI27rank/position
This song, which tells a love story that transcends time and space, has been delivered by YOASOBI.
Set in the Taisho era, it portrays the feelings of two people living in different periods intersecting through letters, expressed within a unique world that fuses electronic sounds with traditional Japanese elements.
Released in September 2021, the track gained strong popularity on streaming platforms and earned platinum certification, capturing the hearts of many listeners.
It’s recommended for those who want to feel love and human connection that transcend eras.
Immerse yourself in YOASOBI’s world.

This is a commercial introducing the autumn color-care line from Ichikami’s color-care series, which is inspired by Japan’s four seasons.
The visuals show Mei Nagano blending into autumn scenery, making it seem as if her beautiful hair merges with the autumnal background.
The song that further highlights the autumnal beauty expressed in the video is YOASOBI’s “Sukida.” Its calm atmosphere—combining digital sounds with acoustic tones like guitar and piano—leaves a strong impression, conveying both gentle warmth and a sense of resolve in expressing one’s feelings.
Biri-BiriYOASOBI29rank/position
A single that paints a colorful world and rich emotions under the theme of encounters and adventure.
Released in November 2023 as an inspiration song for the game “Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.” It carries a positive message about the journey to find one’s own treasure, the courage to face hardships, and keeping your head up to “get” the future.
This work is perfect for those who want to take on something new or seek excitement in their daily lives.
With YOASOBI’s distinctive worldview and message, the song invites listeners to adventure and stirs a wide range of emotions.
