Love AddictNakajima Mika

A jazzy piece that captures the feelings of a woman tossed about by love.

It’s a song by Mika Nakashima, who is also active as an actress, released in 2003 as her seventh single.

Since it was used in a cosmetics commercial, many of you may have heard it.

Its many charms are packed into a single track: her sultry vocals, a breezy melody with a bouncing rhythm, and ringing piano tones.

If you’re thinking of getting into jazz, be sure to give it a listen.

RainHata Motohiro

Continuing to suppress the emotions lying deep within the heart, left helplessly drenched in the rain.

While feigning gentle connections with others, the intensity inside cannot be contained.

This is the quietly infused, solitary and stunned state of mind captured in one of Motohiro Hata’s renowned songs.

Its weighty melody and clear, understated vocals illuminate the protagonist’s emotions like a single spotlight.

The song was used as the ending theme for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film The Garden of Words starting in May 2013, and was included as a coupling track on the single “Kotonoha” as a cover of one of Senri Oe’s signature pieces.

It resonates as a song that accompanies late-night drives or quiet moments spent with someone special.

Heaven’s KitchenBONNIE PINK

Speaking of the signature song that brought BONNIE PINK’s name to wider recognition, it would be the 1997 single “Heaven’s Kitchen.” An album of the same title was also released and reached No.

8 on the Oricon Albums Chart.

“Heaven’s Kitchen” was the first song she both wrote the lyrics and composed, and it was used in a commercial for Ajinomoto Mayonnaise “Pure Select.” It’s a loud, cool rock tune with electric guitar and drums, and the contrast with BONNIE PINK’s languid, world-weary, adult vocals is part of its appeal.

TemptationNakata Yūji

Yuji Nakada, the former vocalist of Tsubakiya Shijusou—a band that disbanded in 2010—sings “Yuuwaku,” a stylish track with a dark, sophisticated chord progression.

It was included on the download-only EP “Usukurenai” released in 2014, and a different version mixed for the album appears on that year’s “BACK TO MELLOW.” Its Japanese AOR-style sound perfectly suits a mature vibe.

In the live video posted on the official YouTube channel, the piano—with an even stronger jazz feel—elevates the performance even further.

rootKing Gnu

A warm, gem-like mid-tempo ballad that sings of the value found even in those who don’t stand out.

Alongside the characteristically beautiful piano and strings of King Gnu, nursery rhyme–style choral parts and contemporary beats are interwoven, culminating in a weighty track that evokes the passage of time.

It’s a precious song imbued with deep affection—quietly accompanying one’s feelings and gently embracing care for someone dear.

Written as the theme song for the TBS Sunday drama “Diamonds Sleeping in the Sea” in October 2024, it’s equally at home soundtracking peaceful moments with someone special or a nighttime drive, letting you savor a refined, adult-tinged ballad.

Tears of ThornsL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

The song themed around a person with strong faith is L’Arc~en~Ciel’s “Ibara no Namida.” It’s a track from their 1999 album “ray,” which reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts.

The song has maintained strong popularity among fans and has become a live staple.

During their 2012 tour, they performed a version that changed the intro from guitar to piano, giving it a more mature, melancholic atmosphere.

A straightforward yet sultry love number.

It’s a track by Kumi Koda, a singer who led the Japanese music scene in the 2000s, released in 2006 as her 27th single.

The original song is by the R&B unit SUGARSOUL.

The sexy sound arrangement creates a nighttime vibe.

It pairs perfectly with Koda’s luscious vocals—truly mesmerizing.

The lyrics get a bit spicy, so I’ll refrain from going into them—please check them out yourself.
