Yorushika – Please Forget (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

A song by Yorushika whose gentle melody and soul-soothing vocals evoke a sense of nostalgia.

The theme centers on self-sacrificial love, as the narrator wishes for their beloved to “forget” them for the sake of the beloved’s future.

Yet behind those words seems to lie a desperate, contradictory feeling of “I actually don’t want you to forget,” and that tension tightens the listener’s chest.

Released in July 2024 as the theme song for the drama “GO HOME: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department—Unidentified Persons Consultation Office,” this sentimental number quietly stays by your side on nights when you’re nursing heartbreak or immersing yourself in memories of someone dear.

Released in April 2020, this song was also chosen as the theme for the animated film “A Whisker Away,” and is included on the album “Plagiarism.” The piece carefully depicts shifting memories and emotions against a backdrop of summer landscapes, making it a track you’ll want to hear at the turn of the seasons from spring to summer.

With its warm vocals that quietly stay close to your heart, why not take a moment to look back on your cherished memories?

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

It’s a track whose fresh yet somehow wistful melody hits you in the chest, like a flashback to summer days gone by.

Created by the unit Yorushika—composer n-buna and vocalist suis—the song portrays the brilliance of youth and the bittersweet sense of loss that comes with growing up, using literary lyrics that feel as if you’re reading a short story.

The protagonist’s pent-up feelings left unsaid and the fading memories they confront are rendered with delicate nuance through suis’s clear, pure vocals.

This piece is included on Yorushika’s May 2018 mini-album “No Encore for the Lonely Loser,” and its uniquely animated music video, directed by Waboku, further accentuates the song’s world.

On streaming platforms, it surpassed 300 million plays in October 2023, showing just how deeply it resonates with many listeners.

In December 2019, it was also used as background music for the opening visuals of a live show by the comedy duo “Tarinai Futari.” Listen to it on a slightly lonely late-summer evening, or when you find yourself reminiscing and feeling sentimental, and its poignant charm may sink even deeper into your heart.

This is a moving song where a literary narrative and Suis’s pure vocals resonate deeply in the heart.

The melodies crafted by n-buna delicately portray the stillness and loneliness of the night, as well as a glimmer of hope.

Listening to this piece feels as if you’re standing beside the characters, and it might even bring some listeners to tears.

Released in March 2020, it is also included on the highly acclaimed album “Tōsaku” (“Plagiarism”).

This masterpiece won an award at the 13th CD Shop Awards in 2021, and it beautifully colored the story as an insert song in the anime film “A Whisker Away,” released in June 2020.

It’s perfect for listening when you’re gazing at the night sky alone or when you need a gentle push forward.

It’s an ideal song for those who want to feel the emotions woven into the lyrics.

Liar MoonYorushika5rank/position

Liar

It is a ballad marked by the quiet melody of the piano and Suis’s gentle vocals.

Through vivid depictions of scenes in the rain and the symbolic image of drinking down moonlight, it delicately portrays the protagonist’s emotions as they face loss and loneliness.

Produced in June 2020 as the ending song for the Netflix feature-length animated film A Whisker Away, the piece was composed by Yorushika’s n-buna to reflect the film’s worldview while capturing the atmosphere from spring to early summer.

It is a song that will deeply resonate with those who wish to relive a fragile yet beautiful page of youth, as well as those who have experienced parting with someone dear.

Spring ThiefYorushika6rank/position

When you’re scrolling through YouTube Shorts, there are moments when a suddenly surfacing, heartrending voice captivates your heart.

This piece by Yorushika—a band composed of composer n-buna and vocalist suis—is exactly the kind of song that brings tears in such moments.

Comparing the wind that scatters cherry blossoms to a thief, the story overlays the transience of life and the passage of time onto a beautiful scene, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart.

It’s included on the EP “Sousaku,” released in January 2021, and is also well known as the theme song for a Taisei Corporation commercial.

In the spring season of partings and encounters, when you want to quietly sink into your emotions alone, this song will gently stay by your side.

Listen to it as if you were reading a story.

Yorushika – Left-Right Blindness (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a song by Yorushika that was released digitally in 2022.

Many of you may know it as the theme song for the film Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight.

The title term “sayūmō” refers to a state where one can’t distinguish between right and left.

It perfectly captures the protagonist’s painful feelings as their memories with someone important gradually fade, as depicted in the lyrics.

It’s a track that will make anyone who’s seen the film cry, but it’s also a deeply moving, heartrending ballad that I’d recommend even to those who haven’t watched the movie.
