SAKURA DropsUtada Hikaru
A signature song by Hikaru Utada, released in May 2002, that intertwines the season of falling cherry blossoms with the tremors of the heart.
Issued as a double A-side single with “Letters,” it was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama First Love.
The lyrics, which entrust the feelings of a lost love—and the inevitability of falling for someone new—to the coming of spring and the farewells it brings, resonate deeply.
With a delicate mid-tempo beat and Utada’s translucent vocals, the track carries both sadness and hope.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear as graduation and parting season arrives, or on a spring day when you find yourself reminiscing about a past love.
TalentSabasusutā
This is the TV commercial song for Morinaga’s “in Jelly,” streamed in September 2025, by Sabasister, a three-piece band formed in 2022.
Written specifically for a campaign supporting student athletes across Japan, the track sings about the potential everyone holds in their hearts and the courage to take the first step.
Riding on a fast, exhilarating punk rock sound, its message—that what you keep believing in will push you forward—rings out powerfully.
The story that some students were moved to tears when the band gave a surprise live performance at a high school shows just how much power this song carries.
It’s also an advance single from the October 2025 album “It’s Only Punk Rock!” and an uplifting anthem you’ll want to play when you hit a wall in your club activities or lessons, or when you’re ready to take a new step.
SakuraMyuk
A ballad about spring partings, released in March 2025, where a transparent vocal and piano-centered minimal soundscape quietly portrays the feelings left behind by a departing season.
The lyrics by Kota Takenawa strike a superb balance between restraint and space, avoiding grandiose rhetoric while layering the transience of cherry blossoms over shifting relationships, leaving ample room for each listener to project their own memories.
Composed by Hiroo Yamaguchi and arranged by Tomohiro Okubo, the track begins with acoustic guitar and piano gently intertwining through the intro and first verse, then opens up with string layers toward the chorus.
The chord progression is classic yet enriched with passing chords that add light and shade, achieving scale through emotional temperature rather than sheer note density—an especially striking touch.
Barre chords are used throughout, but the relaxed tempo makes them comfortable to hold.
It’s a song you’ll want to perform solo with guitar on a spring day when you wish to share your feelings with someone.
worst; minimum; the lowest; awfulIvy to Fraudulent Game
Amid a dreamlike, piano-centered soundscape, this work quietly resonates with self-denial and loneliness.
Included on Ivy to Fraudulent Game’s major-label debut album “Kaiten suru,” released in December 2017, it was written and composed by drummer Yuya Fukushima.
The lyrics, which portray the feelings of blaming oneself for not meeting expectations and the pressure of a cornered heart, really hit home.
Give it a listen on nights weighed down by self-loathing.
ReunionVaundy
The opening theme for the anime The Summer Hikaru Died by Vaundy.
It’s a song that captures the world of a boy’s uneasy coexistence with “something” disguised as a human, expressed through melodious piano and emotional guitar.
The music recreates a faint sense of anxiety and an unpredictable tension, creating a unique atmosphere where poignancy and fear intersect.
Why not listen to this track and talk about the slightly scary and mysterious The Summer Hikaru Died?
Silent JealousyX（X JAPAN）
This song, known for its dramatic structure that shifts from silence to an explosive sprint, was released as a single from the album Jealousy, which came out in July 1991, and hit the shelves in September of the same year.
After YOSHIKI’s serene piano intro, it suddenly surges into a speed metal sound driven by ferocious guitar riffs and drums that stir the listener’s soul.
The fusion of classical elements with rock, combined with TOSHI’s overwhelming high-range vocals, creates a breathtaking sonic world.
Peaking at No.
3 on the Oricon chart and selling over 230,000 copies, this work can be called a masterpiece that opened a new frontier for X JAPAN, where intensity and beauty coexist.
It remains one of the band’s signature songs, beloved by many fans to this day.
The Night Before Goodbyeyayuyo
A love song playing from an earphone with the left side silent, the wavering feelings of a protagonist facing farewell at an evening station.
It’s rare to find a song that captures the bittersweetness residing in such small, everyday moments so vividly.
Written by Riko, the vocalist of Yayuyo, as the first song she ever composed, it was released as a single in December 2019 and was later included on the following year’s mini-album “Yayuyo.” After surpassing one million views on YouTube, this track quickly spread the band’s name far and wide.
While it sketches the premonition of parting over a buoyant rhythm, it also subtly reveals the protagonist’s strength as they try to look ahead.
With its driving guitar-rock energy and approachable melody, it’s a song I especially want those who are hurting from heartbreak yet determined to move forward to hear.
