tongueMy Hair is Bad
This is a yandere-themed song about dependence and unraveling.
My Hair is Bad is a three-piece band that sounds best when they give voice to a slightly frail, somewhat jaded male perspective.
The track is included on their fifth full-length album, “angels,” released in April 2022.
It depicts a man and woman who crave each other to the point of mad love and can no longer part, with lyrics that strike like a scream from the heart.
Even though they know it’s “not good,” they may be bound by the pure conviction that “there’s no one but this person.” If you feel like your love for someone might be getting a bit heavy, give it a listen.
Sugararashi
A dance song that exudes mature allure! Rather than a bright, explosive vibe, it leaves a strong impression of smooth, sultry sophistication.
The melody, with members’ voices layering one after another, really sticks in your ears.
The chorus build-up is cool.
This track is included on the album “untitled,” released in October 2017.
Although it’s an album track, it became a fan favorite that was performed during the “ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2017-2018 ‘untitled’.” Beyond the dance, the song’s style and line distribution are truly wonderful.
It’s a piece that makes you want to listen quietly, and it’s perfect for when you want to enjoy a different mood than usual.
The breathing timing might be a bit tricky, but with practice, it’s definitely a song you’ll want to sing.
Shiga Prefecture Residents’ Songshiga-ken
This piece was designated the prefectural anthem in 1954 to coincide with the opening of the Shiga Kaikan during the postwar reconstruction period.
Based on lyrics by Mr.
Ryō Tadezawa, selected through a public contest, Mr.
Yaso Saijō added revisions, and Mr.
Yuji Koseki composed the music—an impressive lineup behind a single song.
The lyrics weave in images such as the Hira mountain range and the beauty of Lake Biwa, embodying the hopes of the prefecture’s people at the time.
True to Koseki’s style, the bright and approachable melody also shines as a choral piece.
In recent years, it has continued to be beloved across generations—for example, a version by the Biwako Hall Vocal Ensemble was adopted as the prefectural flag-raising song for the “WataSHIGA Kagayaku Kokuspo/Shospo” to be held in 2025.

A warm world where the viewpoint shifts from parent to child, and then to adulthood.
Centered on the theme of a parent’s feelings as their child grows up and leaves the nest, this song was released digitally in June 2025 and drew attention for being featured on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” for its June–July 2025 broadcast.
Among Yoh Kamiyama’s discography, it comes closer to everyday life and family, and its conversational singing style is soothing.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you want to look back on time spent with family.
Sugar HighwayKamiyama Yagi
This is a track that blends a sense of speed, like gliding along a nighttime road, with a slightly precarious euphoria.
The lyrics’ curious word choices ride on a comfortable beat, gripping the listener’s heart and never letting go.
This piece serves as the closing track of Yoh Kamiyama’s album “Shiawase na Otona,” released in April 2019.
In July 2020, it sparked major buzz when it collaborated with a Toyota project and released a music video featuring cars.
There are times when everyday life wears you down, when it feels like there’s a hollow opening in your heart.
This is a song I’d love for you to listen to in those moments.
New Fukui Prefecture Residents’ SongFukui Prefecture
This song was first unveiled at the event “Fukui Happiness and Energy Sports Festa 2014,” held in December 2014.
The lyrics were written by the poet Tatsuji Miyoshi, and the music was composed by the world-renowned conductor Chosei Komatsu.
While inheriting the traditional lyrics established in 1954 and looking ahead to the 2018 Fukui National Sports Festival, this work was reborn with a contemporary, accessible melody.
The lyrics, which sing of the beautiful nature and industries of Echizen and Wakasa, as well as hopes for the future, remain intact, while the refreshing melody is something anyone can hum along to.
The prefecture officially distributes scores for orchestral accompaniment and wind ensemble versions, and the piece is cherished as public music rooted in the community.
From ceremonies to sporting venues, it is a song widely passed down to unite the hearts of the prefecture’s residents.
