Where happiness liesLOCAL CONNECT
I’m soothed by the manly yet warm singing voice.
This is a song by LOCAL CONNECT, a rock band from Nagaokakyo City in Kyoto Prefecture.
It’s included on their 2015 mini-album “Kako Tsunagu Mirai” (Connecting the Past to the Future).
It was used as the ending theme for the anime “My Love Story!!”
Distant LightLibera
A song whose angelic, translucent vocals soothe the heart.
Sung by the British boys’ choir Libera, this piece is widely known as the theme song for the NHK Saturday drama “Ice Wall.” With a melody composed by Japanese composer Takatsugu Muramatsu and lyrics by Robert Prizeman, it brings peace and hope to listeners.
Expressing gratitude and respect for a presence that continues to shine unwaveringly at all times, this song offers the courage to overcome difficult periods.
Since its release in 2004, it has remained beloved by many.
It’s a perfect track for relaxing before bed or for moments when you want to calm your mind.
You were thereLibera
A song by the British boys’ choir Libera, whose pure, angelic singing sinks into the heart.
Released in 2002, this piece was created as the theme song for the film “Protect Nobody” (Dare mo Mamotte Kurenai).
Its lyrics, praising a sacred presence and expressing a guiding light, are particularly striking.
Libera’s signature mystical chords and angelic harmonies soothe listeners and deliver deep emotion.
It’s perfect for times when you need to relax your mind and body, such as before bed or when you’re feeling stressed.
Also recommended as background music for work or study.
Luze and Fran and the Beautiful Rainy CityMILKBAR
A soothing song with beautiful melodies by the Kyoto-based three-piece band MILKBAR.
Included on the album Detritus, this track carries a warmth that gently wraps around you on gloomy rainy days or when things just aren’t going right.
Naoya Kitakoji’s “tender voice with a hint of poison” brilliantly evokes a melancholic world, like walking through a rain-soaked cityscape.
Released in February 2015, the album stands as a culmination of the band’s seven years together.
You’ll likely feel the haze and anxiety in your heart quietly melt away.
Give it a listen as bedtime relaxation or as background music on a rainy day.
Weeping Rock,RockMúm
A gently drifting piece of music recorded at a desolate lighthouse in Iceland.
A fantastical world unfolds where electronic tones intertwine with traditional instruments.
Loneliness, sorrow, and the will to move forward are woven into the poetic lyrics.
Included on the album “Summer Make Good,” released in April 2004, this track showcases múm’s distinctive musicality to the fullest.
The sounds of nature—wind, creaking wood, dripping water—are skillfully incorporated as well.
It’s best listened to while imagining scenes of deep night or a barren morning.
Perfect for times when your heart feels unsettled or when you want to quietly reflect.
Healing music that soothes the heart. Beautiful, relaxing vocals (41–50)
A day by atmosphere supremeNujabes
A beautiful track that fuses jazz and hip-hop soothes the listener’s heart.
Featured on Nujabes’s album Metaphorical Music, released in August 2003, this piece conveys a warmth like gentle light streaming in.
The sampling of Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays’s “September Fifteenth” is a refined, quintessentially Nujabes choice.
It’s perfect for relaxing or quietly getting lost in thought.
I also recommend listening on a leisurely afternoon, by the window with a cup of coffee.
Let yourself be enveloped by its pleasant tones and spend a peaceful moment.
FallingPaatos
Paatos’s songs resonate with the heart through their beautiful, heartrending melodies and profound lyrics.
The lyrics sound an alarm about environmental destruction, powerfully appealing to the vanishing beauty of nature and humanity’s responsibility.
The track is included on the 2006 album Silence of Another Kind, the band’s third studio album.
Paatos’s music is characterized by melancholic, female-vocal-driven progressive rock.
This work is perfect for nighttime relaxation or quiet meditation.
Recommended for moments when you want to calm your mind or reflect on harmony with nature.
