Just hold meDISH//
This is a ballad about someone who can’t put their overflowing love into words and tries to convey their feelings simply by holding the other person close.
The lyrics by Seiko Fujibayashi delicately depict the protagonist’s feelings—frustrated yet pure.
In Takumi Kitamura’s vocals, where you can almost hear his breathing, you can keenly feel the earnestness of his longing for the other person.
The track was included on the single “Starting Over,” released in July 2018.
While the title track drew attention as the theme song for the anime Zoids Wild, this song has been quietly cherished among fans as a “hidden gem.” A retake version was also released in August 2022.
Why not give it a listen on nights when you’d rather confirm love through warmth than words, or during quiet moments spent with someone special?
Terminalnatori
Since a demo version was posted on social media in May 2021, many fans have been eagerly awaiting an official release from singer-songwriter Natori.
Included on the first album “Gekijou,” this track is an emotional number where early-era ideas have been refined to completion.
The sound evokes the stillness of night and the chill of the city, intertwining exquisitely with whispery vocals to draw listeners into a unique world.
The music video by filmmaker Emi Miyama has also become a hot topic, with a narrative that links to the previous track “Love Song.” It’s a richly atmospheric piece that pairs perfectly with late-night drives or quiet, solitary evenings.
Time View -The Road That Continues Endlessly-naniwa danshi
This piece, with lyrics written by member Shunsuke Michieda, deeply engraves the group’s history and feelings.
It carefully portrays, in unadorned words, the anxieties and conflicts they felt on the journey from formation to debut, as well as the unshakable bond they share as Naniwa Danshi.
Although it’s a track included on the album “1st Love,” released in July 2022, performances like their tearful renditions on stage have made it beloved among fans as a masterpiece that carries weight beyond a typical album song.
This work will gently offer a warm message when you feel like stopping on your way toward a dream.
Please give it a listen when you’re thinking of your cherished friends or when you want to encourage yourself.
pale and simpleAme Ryou
A dance track that depicts a sense of loneliness as if being ignored by the world, and the impersonal monotony of everyday life that goes on regardless.
Released in July 2025 as an entry for VocaDuo, this is the Kasane Teto SV version.
It boasts a highly addictive finish where philosophical wordplay intertwines with multifaceted beats.
I can’t help but be captivated by the chilly-feeling synths and the vocals that sound as if they’re suppressing emotion.
Be sure to lend an ear to this high-sense EDM.
JourneyFuji Kaze
This work is striking for its sound that fuses a nostalgic Wurlitzer tone with warm breakbeats.
Framing life as a long journey, it carries a message that gently accepts even our past immaturity.
Released as a single in March 2021, it was written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Nijiiro Karte.” It’s also included on the album “LOVE ALL SERVE ALL” and has garnered strong support from many listeners.
The relaxed melody is easy to hum and offers a comforting sense of easing a taut heart.
When you feel a sudden wave of fatigue in your busy daily life, try listening as a way to be kind to yourself.
It will surely give you energy for tomorrow!
Something CertainOda Kazumasa
A classic ballad by Kazumasa Oda that sings of deep feelings for a loved one, centered on the theme of a universal love that remains unchanged over time.
It’s not only about the sadness of parting, but also conveys a warm message wishing the other person well for the future, which really touches the heart.
Released as a single in May 2005, this piece has long been beloved as the corporate commercial song for Meiji Yasuda Life.
Many people may remember the visuals that played alongside prize-winning entries from a photo contest.
This song speaks on our behalf, expressing gratitude that words alone can’t fully convey, making it perfect for the climax of a farewell party to send off a supportive boss or senior colleague.
Used as background music for a slideshow of memorable photos, it’s sure to move the audience to tears.
Whenever I arrive, it’s always raining.yoshida takurou
With lyrics that convey a mature sense of melancholy and life experience, this song will likely resonate especially with older listeners and male vocalists.
The track itself is under three minutes and on the shorter side, but it gradually builds toward the latter half as the chorus comes in, lifting your spirits.
The overall tone is on the brighter side, so raising your facial muscles and eyebrows while singing makes it easier to hit the pitches and switch smoothly into falsetto.
Another key point is to respect the phrasing—sing each phrase carefully and keep the separations clear.
Don’t force it; relax your shoulders and sing as if you’re speaking.
