Songs whose titles start with “Ri” (11–20)
LiminalMomosuzu Nene
This is a moving number whose lyrics capture the doubts you feel about yourself while working through a screen, and the certainty you gain from your connection with listeners.
Its shaded, mid-tempo sound and a worldview built from introspective words have a deeply immersive appeal.
Performed by Momosuzu Nene, beloved as a member of hololive’s 5th generation, the track was released in March 2026.
Also included on the album “Peachful Story,” slated for release in July of the same year, this work marks an important song that opens a new chapter in expression.
When your own existence feels uncertain or you want to feel a bond with someone, listening to it will surely stir your heart.
It’s a richly layered pop tune, memorable for its wistful yet warm vocals and ensemble.
living deadSuda Masaki
A track included on the second album “LOVE,” it’s a highly addictive rock number written and produced by Ryohei Shima, notable for its worldview that evokes love–hate and madness.
The more you listen, the more addictive it becomes.
The song’s range doesn’t require belted high notes, so you should be able to sing it in a relaxed state.
If you tense up, your voice will become throaty overall, so it’s important to stay loose and sing with ease.
Rather than keeping a blank expression, lifting your facial muscles will produce the correct resonance and make it easier to sing.
RingHirai Ken
It’s the theme song for the NTV Wednesday drama “Psycho Doctor,” and Ken Hirai commented that he created it with the thought, “Maybe everyone is hurting in some way.
Rather than running away from those emotional wounds, it’s important to take your time and love them.” It’s a touching ballad that many people say has saved them.
The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing calmly, which is a nice point.
It may not be a very famous song, but the melody line is simple, so I think it’s easy to remember.
There’s a key change before the last chorus that raises the vocal range, so be careful with that part.
rememberUru
Singer-songwriter Uru captivates many listeners with her enveloping voice and mystical presence.
Released in September 2018 as the title track of her sixth single, this piece was written as the theme song for the animated film Natsume’s Book of Friends the Movie: Tied to the Temporal World.
The lyrics, depicting encounters and farewells and the kindness that lives on in our memories, gently warm the listener’s heart while staying close to the film’s worldview.
Although a different song was initially being produced, the melody—born from a deeper rereading of the story—feels perfect for moments when you want to reflect on cherished memories.
It’s a pristine, heart-cleansing ballad whose gentle ensemble of piano and strings strikes a deep chord.
Ribbonsabio
A warm number that evokes a heartfelt bond with someone special.
Created by Vocalo-P sabio, it was released in August 2025 and won first place in the Rookie Ranking at Bokakore 2025 Summer.
Kasane Teto SV’s remarkably human vocals gently deliver straightforward feelings.
If saying “thank you” usually feels embarrassing, why not use this piece to convey your gratitude to your mother?
ReWiNDatatakai suizokukan & Dozen
I find myself immersed, as if I’m sitting before a pure white screen, endlessly searching for sounds with no single right answer.
ReWiND by the Vocaloid producers Atatakai Suizokukan and Dozen is set for release in July 2025.
The music video premiered in February 2026, and it reached 39th place in the TOP100 rankings at VocaColle Winter 2026.
Its heavy electro beat and Hatsune Miku’s cool vocals intertwine, vividly portraying both the solitude and the intensity of creation.
Even when meaning feels out of reach, there are still scenes you want to share with someone—that earnest feeling really hits home.
This is a song I especially want people to hear when they’re facing the pain of bringing something into the world.

ReunionRADWIMPS
A song from RADWIMPS’ album “X to O to Tsumi to” that straightforwardly tells you, “I don’t need a definition of the word ‘friend’—I’m just happy to be with you.” Released in December 2013, the album reached No.
2 on the Oricon weekly chart, and this track—pre-released in November 2013—is a fan favorite.
It portrays the miracle of a chance encounter and a bond that transcends logic, along with a strong sentiment that says, even if this isn’t called friendship, that’s fine.
It encourages you to believe that the strongest relationships are those that connect heart to heart without titles or formal promises.
If you hope to laugh together like this with people you meet in a new environment, definitely give this song a listen.
