cotton candyback number
This is the sixth single by back number, a three-piece rock band beloved by a wide range of listeners for their irresistibly relatable, sentimental lyrics and wistful melodies.
Chosen as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, the song features a somewhat wet, summery arrangement that dovetails with the story in the lyrics.
The words depict a kind of daydream that most men have probably indulged in at least once, likely prompting many listeners to recall their youth.
It’s a rock tune whose deft use of “sweets” is spot-on, and one that makes you want to root for the story’s protagonist as you listen.

It showcases E-girls’ bright appeal to the fullest, and just listening to it is sure to put you in a happy mood! Chosen as the CM song for UHA Mikakuto and released in April 2013, it captured the hearts of many.
Centered on themes of dreams, hope, and self-transformation, the lyrics carry a positive message that conveys the importance of accepting yourself.
It’s the perfect track when you need a boost of energy or are starting a new challenge.
It will surely bring a sweet smile to your face.
You will die if you eat konjac jelly.hobo nichi P
The warning on konnyaku jelly packages that says “Children and the elderly should not eat this.” From that came Hobo Nichijo P’s song “Konnyaku Jelly Will Kill You,” which basically sings about banning everything that could possibly be dangerous.
It’s true that compared to regular jelly, konnyaku jelly is more elastic and can be a bit risky.
The lyrics go on to call for stopping the production of other dangerous things besides konnyaku as well.
The provocative lyrics can be overwhelming, but at the very end, it reveals the true message the song wanted to convey! Be sure to listen all the way through and really think about it!
Strawberry ChipsHALCALI
How about swaying your body to some laid-back hip-hop? This track by the musical duo HALCALI was released in 2003 as their fourth single.
With rough, wah-driven guitar and an easygoing vibe, it’s perfect for relaxed listening.
The duo’s soft vocal work is another real charm.
The lyrics, however, tell a slightly bittersweet story of heartbreak.
If you’re feeling down about love—say, after being brushed off by someone you like—listening to it might just offer a bit of comfort.
Song of Melon Panyuppi
Anpan is filled with sweet red bean paste, so why doesn’t melon bread have any melon in it? Yuppi turned that bread mystery—something everyone wonders at least once—straight into a song.
Astonishingly, she wrote the lyrics and music and even played the guitar herself when she was just nine years old.
The humorous lyrics, born from a child’s pure perspective, make you nod and think, “So true!” It’s a highly relatable track.
Released as a single in October 2007, it became widely known after gaining attention on the radio.
This piece sets an everyday “why?” to a gentle melody.
It’s a heartwarming song to listen to when you feel like quietly musing over your thoughts while eating some bread.
CANDYyusukeP
Why are songs that liken the feeling of being in love to candy always so irresistibly cute? Created by Vocaloid producer yusukeP—also known for “La, La, Love You” and “In Your Hands”—this track was released in 2009.
It’s a pop tune built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm, featuring a soundscape with touches of funk.
The lyrics, packed tightly with affection for someone special, are incredibly adorable.
Be sure to give this smile-inducing Vocaloid song a listen!

This sound image, with just the right amount of looseness in the shoulders, is irresistible.
It’s a track by the rock band Yura Yura Teikoku, which had a huge influence on later generations of musicians, included on their second album “Me No Car,” released in 1999.
Rather than analyzing the lyrics, just let yourself sink into the sound! It’s the kind of rock ’n’ roll that makes you want to introduce it that way.
The dry guitar tone intertwines with Shintaro Sakamoto’s vocals to create a truly one-of-a-kind world.
Perfect for when you want to lift your spirits!
