A track that perfectly captures the nostalgic mood of summer’s end.

Its refreshing guitar sound feels pleasant, yet there’s a faint melancholy in the tones that seeps into the heart.

If you listen to it on a night when memories of a joyful summer leave you a little wistful, those once-sparkling days may feel all the more precious.

Say!Happy BirthdayToukyou Q Channeru

This is a track by Tokyo Q Channel that captivates with its distinctly ’90s groove and stylish sound.

From the unique perspective of calling a birthday “an anniversary you don’t remember yourself,” it warmly sings of gratitude and celebration for being born.

The lyrics by vocalist Mayumi Sudo and the light, heart-lifting pop melody crafted by Yasuhiko Warita together create a lovely celebratory mood.

Released as a single in February 1995, the song was also beloved at the time as the ending theme for the popular TBS program “Doubutsu Kisou Tengai!” It’s perfect for when you want to send a message that’s not clichéd yet still heartwarming.

I think it’s a hidden gem that lends a slightly grown-up touch to someone special’s big day.

This is a song whose unique lyrics, inspired by Rock-Paper-Scissors, leave a lasting impression.

It carries the warm yet profound message characteristic of lyricist Tetsuya Takeda.

By likening differences in people, cultures, and ways of thinking to rock, scissors, and paper, it sings that the world becomes fun precisely because everyone is different.

Released as a single in March 1994, the song was used as the ending theme for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Three Visionary Swordsmen.

The lively rhythm and positive lyrics performed by Tetsuya Takeda Ichiza brighten the conclusion of the movie’s adventure.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling low or when you want to be reminded of the importance of diversity!

Serene and sweet autumn evening lyricismUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

It’s a song that seems to turn the quiet, faintly sweet, sentimental air of an autumn dusk straight into sound.

Created by the three-piece rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s a lesser-known gem for the autumn season.

You can almost see scenes that gently capture the tenderness we feel for the passing seasons and the fleeting beauty of a single moment.

This track is included on the acclaimed album MODE MOOD MODE, released in January 2018 toward the end of the Heisei era.

Though it has no tie-ins, its lyrical melody and Kosuke Saito’s crystalline vocals reveal the band’s delicate side.

Listen to it on your way home as the days grow shorter, or alone on a slightly chilly night when you want to sink into your thoughts, and it will slowly seep into your heart.
