The True Nature of TearsSUPER BEAVER
The melody and lyrics, which poignantly sing of the inner feelings we all carry, resonate deeply in the heart.
Though it grapples with loneliness and conflict, it also holds a wish, deep down, to be noticed by someone—a moving song where tenderness and bittersweetness intertwine.
SUPER BEAVER’s powerful rock sound and deeply emotive vocals vividly color the story.
Written as the theme song for NHK General’s drama “Vanilla na Mainichi,” airing from January 2025, this piece suggests a new frontier following the album “Ongaku.” In times when your heart feels unsteady or when you’re on the verge of losing your sense of self, it will become a treasured song that stays close to you.

This is a song whose warm, gentle guitar tones and clear vocals resonate deeply with the heart.
It carefully depicts the small happinesses of everyday life and conveys the preciousness of moments spent with someone important.
With a rich melody, it expresses the warmth of being connected to someone rather than being alone, and the importance of mutually supportive relationships.
Released in February 2025, it was chosen as the ending theme for the anime “Momentary Lily.” It is also included on miwa’s best-of album “miwa,” commemorating the 15th anniversary of her debut.
It’s recommended for times when you want to cherish moments with someone special, or when you want to listen while thinking of someone dear.
Wrapped in the gentle singing voice, your heart, too, will be enveloped in warmth.
wa, wo, nnishina
A soul-stirring number that weaves the complexities of love and life through the Japanese syllabary.
Created by NISHINA, this work was released in December 2024.
With a gentle yet fleeting voice, it expresses everything from the love that lies at the root of language to the impermanence and uncertainty of life.
The sound, infused with neo-soul and alternative R&B essences, and its comfortable melodic lines are wonderful too.
You might feel an even deeper emotion if you listen while thinking of someone you love.
Shape of the FutureWi Sekai Jōcho
A gemlike ballad by virtual singer Isekaijoucho, who paints new worlds with her powerful voice.
First unveiled at her 3rd solo concert “Anima III” in August 2024, the song quickly became a hot topic.
Composed and arranged by Kashiimoimi, with lyrics penned by Isekaijoucho herself, it conjures a fantastical world that traces the path of life and stirs the heart.
Give it a listen when you need the courage to believe in yourself.

mimosaHamasaki Ayumi
A gem of a medium-tempo ballad whose love-filled vocals resonate in the heart.
Written specifically for the drama “Zoku Zoku Saigo kara Nibanme no Koi,” it was released in April 2025.
Set against a richly layered rock sound, the song reflects on life’s joys and sorrows, and on what changes and what remains the same.
A track that can serve as a compass as you walk through life.
Why not give it a listen on nights when you want to think things over, or when you want to look back on memories with someone dear?
my wishAI
A heartwarming gospel ballad filled with hope and prayer.
Released in April 2025, this work serves as the image song for the film “Hana Manma.” The lyrics gently tell us that “wishes do come true,” and AI’s husky yet powerful vocals layer over them to moving effect.
It beautifully captures the world of the film, in which Ryohei Suzuki and Kasumi Arimura play a brother and sister.
This song gently supports those on the verge of giving up on the future or whose dreams have been denied, making it a perfect listen when you need strength to persevere or the courage to take the next step.
