Yorushika – Haru (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

A refreshing song that evokes the arrival of spring, it impresses with n-buna’s masterful word choice and suis’s transparent vocals weaving a richly emotional world.

By depicting the shift in the sky from rain to clear weather, it symbolically expresses the joys and pains of life, as well as hope and despair, making it a track you’ll want to listen to at the change of seasons.

This work was used as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, which began airing in January 2024, and it was also featured in a collaborative web commercial with Suntory’s gin SUI.

Released as a digital single, this song will be a reliable companion when you need a mindset reset or are about to take a new step forward.

YOASOBI – Setting Sun (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a refreshing, coming-of-age song that depicts feelings gradually being drawn in and budding into love.

It was written as the opening theme for the anime The Dangers in My Heart.

The overlapping acoustic and electric guitars leave a strong impression; the sharp tones within the warmth evoke shifts in the heart.

While its light, buoyant groove is meant to evoke a summer evening, listening to it in the quiet of autumn may bring out a different kind of emotional movement.

Yorushika – Spring Thief (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

It’s a beautiful, lyrical song that likens the fleeting fall of cherry blossoms to life itself and portrays the flow of the wind as the passage of time.

Yorushika’s crystal-clear melodies and poetic lyrics blend seamlessly to capture the bittersweetness of spring.

Released in January 2021 and included on the album “Sakuhin,” the track was also featured in a Taisei Corporation TV commercial, moving the hearts of many.

The fully CG-animated music video vividly conveys the song’s world as well.

It’s a perfect piece for those slightly melancholy moments in the spring season, when anticipation and anxiety about new beginnings intertwine.

In times of parting or meeting someone important, it’s a song that gently stays by your side—I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Yorushika – Hebi (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a unit that has produced many great songs.

You could say they’re one of the most popular acts among teenagers.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend for its popularity and ease of singing is Hebi (“Snake”).

The song’s vocal range is mid1E to hiA, which is quite narrow for a female song.

The pitch movement is also relatively gentle, so any junior high school girl should be able to sing it well.

It’s a song that appeals to both girls and boys, so be sure to check it out.

Yorushika – Algernon (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika is a musical duo that has won popularity with their ennui-tinged melodies and profound messages.

They have many high school fans as well.

Composed by n-buna and inspired by a famous novel, this work centers on the delicate emotional shifts that occur as the world slowly changes through an encounter with someone.

The protagonist’s feelings—hesitant yet striving to look forward—overlap with vocalist suis’s clear, translucent voice, making your chest tighten as you listen.

Released in February 2023, the song was also used as the theme for the drama “Yugure ni, Te o Tsunagu” (Hold My Hand at Dusk).

It is included in the music art collection “Gento.” It’s the kind of song that, when you’re feeling a bit down or want to spend a quiet night deep in thought, will gently give you a supportive push and leave you with a warm, tender feeling.

The Old Man and the SeaYorushika13rank/position

The Old Man and the Sea

Beginning with gentle guitar strains, this song draws inspiration from Ernest Hemingway’s renowned novel and evokes a comforting feeling, as if you were on a quiet seaside.

Suis’s crystalline vocals seem to weave a story that transcends reality and journeys deep into the heart.

It may be centered on the inner strength of humans who refuse to lose hope even in the face of hardship.

Released in August 2021, the piece became widely known as the TV commercial song for Vanish Standard Inc.’s service “STAFF START.” It resonated with many, aligning with the commercial’s message, “A world where you don’t have to give up on what you love.” It’s perfect for moments when you want to spend time leisurely by the sea or quietly sink into contemplation—ideal listening when you’re in the mood to relax.

This is also a recommended track for those who enjoy music with literary depth.

ShuraYorushika14rank/position

Shura

Inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s poetry collection “Spring and Asura,” this work exudes a sense of literary depth.

The song portrays someone who carries loneliness and inner conflict, yet by giving voice to those feelings and singing them out, a spring breeze stirs in the heart and they begin to move toward renewal.

Suis’s crystalline vocals beautifully capture the delicate fluctuations of that inner world.

Released in August 2025, the track was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “We Still Don’t Know the Rules of That Star.” It might lighten your heart when you want to face yourself.
