Taiyaki Lullabynarushisu
Taiyaki Lullaby, written and composed by Narushisu and sung by Hatsune Miku, tells a gentle story centered on a 100-yen taiyaki.
Sharing one thing with someone—family, friends, a sweetheart—somehow feels more fun than just eating it by yourself, doesn’t it? Sure, having one each means you get to eat more, but the kindness and warmth of sharing is a value money can’t buy.
And it tends to make stronger memories than simply eating, too.
If you usually like to keep everything to yourself, try listening to this song and sharing a sweet with someone once in a while!
Strawberry Candyze
“Strawberry Candy” is a track by Kore-san, released in May 2024.
Hatsune Miku’s whispery vocals leave a strong impression, and the contrast between lyrics that probe the essence of love, retro sound, and poppy melodies is irresistible.
It’s the perfect song for when you want to feel happy or need a boost.
Turn up the volume and give it a listen!
I walked home across the birthday cake.Chatto Monchī
Every time you blow out the candles stuck in a cake, you get a year older… It’s catchy yet profound guitar rock that lightly sings about “life.” It’s a song by Chatmonchy, a girls’ band from Tokushima, included on their fourth album, YOU MORE, released in 2011.
It’s not brimming with bright, hopeful messaging, but it doesn’t make you feel pessimistic either.
You can feel the resolve to “live your own path,” and it ends up encouraging you, too.
chocolateDOES
A wistful rock song that likens the sweetness and bitterness of memories to chocolate.
Created by the band DOES, known for hits like “Bakuchi Dancer” and “DonTen,” it was released in 2010 as their ninth single.
It was written as the theme song for Tokyo Chocolate, a short film produced by the confectionery maker Mary’s.
Its crisp sound arrangement—anchored by an acoustic guitar timbre that lingers in the ear—is striking.
It feels like giving something up, yet somehow remains forward-looking… When something unpleasant happens, this song might help you feel, “Alright, on to the next.”
I want to eat.Otoniriame
Otorii Ame is a music duo that became widely known after going viral on social media with “the introverted JK who admires the extroverted JK.” The two members are Akane, who writes, composes, and sings, and Akari, the track maker.
Their songs are packed with the world of cute girls and are popular among people their age.
Their track “Tabetai” portrays the inner conflict between the desire to eat and the wish to slim down and become cute—a struggle that might look adorable from the outside but feels very real to those experiencing it.
The lyrics also feature sweets like caramel, marshmallows, and strawberry candy, making it a song that draws you in and makes you crave a bite.
Shortcake syndromecolour
Shortcake Syndrome is a song that instantly melts you into a sweet, enchanting world of desserts the moment you listen.
Created by colour, it features a sparkling, cute melody that makes listeners feel as if they’ve stepped into a dreamland overflowing with sweets.
Interestingly, the titular shortcake never actually appears in the lyrics—instead, it showcases popular Western confections and drinks that pair well with sweets! It’s a dreamy world filled with the sweet aromas of these treats.
If you’d like to experience it, be sure to give the song a listen!
Slave to chocolateSKE48
An irresistibly charming SKE48 smash hit, sweet like chocolate.
The lyrics deftly capture a man’s feelings around Valentine’s Day, leaving a strong impression.
The desire to convey one’s love through chocolate, and the hope of receiving chocolate in return, evokes memories of youth—secret crushes in the corner of a classroom.
Released in January 2013, the song debuted at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was also selected as the ending theme for TBS TV’s “Tsubokko Musume,” earning wide support across generations.
A perfect track for the Valentine’s season, recommended to anyone who longs for sweet romance.
