Songs that heal a weary heart: A collection of soothing masterpieces (31–40)
Flower of HappinessWEST.
A heartwarming piece I’d like to introduce is “Shiawase no Hana.” It’s a track by the idol group WEST.
The lyrics and composition were done by Takashi Yamaguchi of Sambomaster, giving it a classic rock sound.
The lyrics convey the message: “Precisely because everyday life can be tough, let’s keep smiling and live joyfully.” The arrangement showcases each member’s vocal qualities, so it might even help you discover new charms of the group.
Poem of SunlightLe Couple
Released in 1997, this song became so famous that it was included in music textbooks.
It’s like a “sunny spot,” just as the title suggests—the warm-hearted feelings of a woman who, though about to set off on a different path, still wishes happiness for the person she has loved, combined with the gentle singing voice, make your heart feel light.
Night fishing is good.Sakanakushon
Speaking of Sakanaction, they have many more famous songs, but I’m intentionally introducing this one here.
This relatively long track consists of three parts—slow tempo, up-tempo, and slow tempo—and is musically of a very high caliber.
If you’re not the type who likes straightforward, feel-good cheer-up songs, you might find this one appealing.
365 Days Paper AirplaneAKB48
Released in 2017 and used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Asa ga Kita,” this song likens life— which never goes exactly as we wish— to a paper airplane riding the wind.
What matters is not how far it can fly, but how it flies until it lands.
This message shifts our perspective from results to the importance of the process, and helps put our minds at ease.
ZiluAimer
Aimer, who has sung numerous anime songs, performed “Kiro,” which was selected as the ending theme for Mo Dao Zu Shi, a series based on a Chinese novel.
It has a sentimental yet grand atmosphere, with a subtly glittering, gently resonant sound that carries a sense of Japanese elegance and is soothing to the heart.
It makes you want to listen closely in your room late at night.
That touch of melancholy really hits home… As the seasons change and new days begin, try relaxing to Aimer’s singing voice.

Song of the French BreadD.W. Nikoruzu
This song isn’t very well-known, but I highly recommend it because the lyrics are quirky yet easy to understand.
It sings about the importance of balance in everything, making it a perfect track for those who tend to push themselves too hard and end up getting hurt.
Family SongHoshino Gen
Family Song, a single released in 2017, is one of Gen Hoshino’s most soothing tracks.
Wishing happiness for those near and far, its lyrics overflow with affirmation, and the warm, gentle atmosphere eases the heart.
The words feel like a fine thread connecting us, softening anxiety and loneliness, and they quietly sink in when you’re tired or going through a hard time.
This song, too, feels like it watches over you like family, bringing a cozy sense of comfort.
