Sayonara, baby.Kato Miria

This is a bittersweet love song about a heart swaying between true feelings and outward appearances.

She wants to believe his words, yet deep down she doubts them, and still can’t bring herself to end things… You can sense her wavering emotions in the chorus’s back-and-forth between the man and woman.

The track is a work by singer-songwriter Miliyah Kato, released in September 2008 as her 13th single.

Its arrangement is striking, unfolding from a wistful piano intro into a danceable four-on-the-floor sound.

The song is also included on the acclaimed album “Ring.” When you’re unsure of the other person’s feelings and don’t know what to do, listening to this might resonate with your complicated state of mind.

The end of summer somehow feels a little lonely and makes you long for someone, doesn’t it? That’s when Koresawa’s track gently stays by your side.

It’s a mellow ballad that tenderly captures that helpless, aching feeling of a summer, a love, and a dream that never came true, carried by her smooth, wistful vocals.

This song is included on the mini-album “Summer Love,” released in August 2022, closing out an album packed with summer memories.

Listen to it on a late-summer drive or on your solitary walk home lost in thought, and you’ll feel a surge of affection for the season that has slipped away.

Because the sour cherry shoneumicha

It’s a pop tune that masterfully contrasts a whimsical, fairy-tale world with the shadows lurking beneath.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Umicha, it was released in August 2025.

The chiptune-like electronic sounds paint a cute, storybook-like world, but when you consider its connections to Umicha’s other tracks, you can catch glimpses of fear and poignancy beneath the narrative.

So, listening to it together with pieces like “Something Railway at Dusk,” for example, might make it even more enjoyable.
