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.

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.

Farewell, Siberian RailwayŌta Hiromi

With lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Eiichi Ohtaki, this song is a classic winter piece that poignantly portrays a bittersweet farewell as someone departs for the distant northern lands on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Released as a single in November 1980, it was originally intended to be sung by Ohtaki himself, but since the lyrics were written from a woman’s perspective, it was offered to Hiromi Ohta instead.

Against a wintry backdrop of white ice fields and biting cold, the protagonist’s attempt to accept parting from a loved one is deeply moving.

Ohta’s clear, translucent vocals delicately convey the wistful scene, making it a song you’ll want to savor.

Why not listen quietly at dusk on a cold day?
