1/6000000000Kyushuo feat C&K

Blending gentle vocals with lyrics that realize the presence of a cherished person and vow to walk together forever as a pair, it’s a warm love song.
Shadows on the RoadAya
A love between a man and a woman that should never be, yet a feeling they simply cannot let go.
They want to run away together to a place where they might forget the way back.
This song gives voice to those emotions that have nowhere to go, carried by Aya’s cool vocals.
The deep, low tones of the cello layered over the acoustic guitar express that helpless yearning—a hidden gem of a track.
losin’Itō Yuna
I think it’s typical J-pop, but the arrangement doesn’t make it feel that way—part of me even thought the original might be R&B.
I get the sense it’ll keep moving forward nicely through the repetition.
If you’re unsure, how about trying it at karaoke? I’m sure you’ll have fun!
The Howling of the Lost OneSakura Ayane
The million-hit song “Lost One’s Weeping,” included on Neru’s major album World Domination.
This is a cover version by Ayane Sakura, who works as a voice actress.
Even though it’s a cover, the quality is so high you’ll wonder if it really is one—no surprise from a professional voice artist.
Highly recommended for those who want to hear a cool female cover!

Written and composed by Kanako Miura, who is also a nursery school teacher, this heartwarming song portrays a child’s growth from birth to age six.
Created in 2018, it has become a beloved staple sung at graduation ceremonies.
From memories of babyhood, to days spent at daycare, and the resolve to move on to elementary school, the lyrics carefully trace a child’s journey.
Its simple melody is designed to be easy for children to sing, which adds to its charm.
At graduation ceremonies, playing a slideshow of growth milestones to this song fills the venue with emotion.
It’s a wonderful piece that gently encourages children as they set out on a new path.
Lost DaysKasamura Tōta
A warm ballad number that resonates with your ears and heart.
Composed by Tota Kasamura, it was released in December 2023.
This piece is included on the album “How to Become a Wonderful Adult 2.” With its gentle melody and soft vocals, it conveys the desire to protect someone dear.

Rokudan no ShirabeYatsuhashi Kengyō
Rokudan no Shirabe is a signature koto piece said to have been composed by Yatsuhashi Kengyō, a blind musician hailed as the father of modern koto music.
Because it’s played somewhere every New Year—on TV programs and commercials, or as background music in shopping malls—many people probably think of the New Year the moment they hear it.
It’s also used as a listening resource in schools, making it a classic that virtually every Japanese person has heard at least once.
While it’s great to gear up and tackle New Year’s sales, it might be nice once in a while to spend a leisurely New Year listening to traditional koto music.
