WANIMA is a popular rock band that has even performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Known for their bursting energy and hard-hitting rock sound, many people may not be used to hearing them do ballads.
Even in “Sotsugyo Shashin,” the trio’s power is on full display.
The original is a gentle song, but their version conveys a strong sense of vigor.
It brings back memories of those days when we ran around in our youth.
Omouta: Thinking of Sistersthea
It’s the theme song for the commercial “JT Omouta: Sisters Edition,” featuring Anna Ishii and Kotone Furukawa as sisters.
In this song, a cautious older sister and a unique, proactive younger sister are portrayed as rivals chasing the same dream.
The older sister can’t help but feel a complex about her younger sister.
But in truth, the younger sister has her own struggles, too.
It became known as a tearjerker, and I think any older sister with a younger sister will find it deeply relatable.
In the end, the bond of sisters supporting each other is depicted, and it’s truly moving!
It’s our miracleμ’s × Hatsune Miku
Sore wa Bokutachi no Kiseki (That Is Our Miracle) depicts the heart of a girl striving to become an idol in a true-to-life way.
In this collaboration version by μ’s and Hatsune Miku, Miku’s girlish vocals and sincere feelings really come through.
The song was originally released by the female idol group μ’s in 2014 and was featured in the anime Love Live!.
Listening to the track conjures images of Hatsune Miku singing and dancing on stage.
With a voice that transcends genres like rock and pop, Hatsune Miku’s singing fits idol songs perfectly!
Sōran Migratory BirdsKomadori Shimai
The Komadori Sisters are a female duo who debuted in 1951.
The two are twins, and from a young age they carried shamisen and, accompanied by their father, performed around restaurant districts, where they were scouted and made their debut with Columbia.
They created numerous classic songs and gained popularity, and among them, Soran Wataridori, released in 1961, is likely a tune even some young people have heard in passing.
Even for those unfamiliar with enka, the duo’s beautiful harmonies convey the Japanese spirit across generations—an enduring classic.
Each AutumnArisu
Alice, known for their wide range covering pop and rock, delivered this song that leans more toward confessional, novelistic folk.
I think many people would say this is their favorite.
The arrangement features Hiromi Yasuda—who has worked on songs by Yosui Inoue and Miyuki Nakajima—and, incredibly, the one and only Katsuhisa Hattori.
That’s quite a lineup! The lyrics, recited calmly as if reading a novel, prompt the listener to recall the ups and downs of their own life.
It feels like a paradoxical kind of encouragement: “Life isn’t all fun—but…” How do you feel about it? It’s an Alice classic that comes to mind when autumn arrives.
Omouta — Thinking of My FriendsKiyosaku
Well-known as a JT commercial song, the ‘Omouta’ series features Kiyosaku from MONGOL800 singing with a ukulele in hand.
Each song shares the same melody but has different lyrics and a different recipient; this one, ‘Omouta — Thinking of Friends,’ is dedicated to friends.
Among the series, it has the most pop, lively arrangement, depicting casual exchanges and everyday moments with friends.
It’s not just about the present—it’s a heartening friendship anthem that makes you feel this bond will continue far into the future.
