Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

[Recommended for teens] Songs to listen to when your heart is tired—songs you want to hear (31–40)

To My AdolescenceAka-hoho Shishunki (BOL4)

[MV] BOL4 (Bolbbalgan4) – To My Youth

To My AdolescenceAka-hoho Shishunki (BOL4)

A healing song by BOL4 (Bolbbalgan4) that wraps the delicate emotions of adolescence in acoustic tones.

It gently traces the emotional journey from days tormented by loneliness and self-denial to gradually finding hope with the passage of time.

Included on the September 2017 album “Red Diary Page.1,” this work made the Melon Music Awards’ Top 10 for three consecutive years, Korea’s largest music awards.

Alongside the crystalline vocals, it brings into sharp relief the complex feelings of sensing parental love yet being unable to accept it straightforwardly, and the image of youths who shrink under the gaze of those around them.

When you feel on the verge of losing yourself, listening to this song will surely let a ray of hope shine into a heart filled with loneliness and anxiety.

That's enough already.Fuji Kaze

Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who had been posting piano performance videos since childhood and drawing attention for his exceptional technique.

Released in December 2019, this track later became a core piece of his debut album, HELP EVER HURT NEVER.

It features a sound defined by a minimalist, hip-hop-influenced beat interwoven with gospel-style choruses.

The lyrics, which step away from entanglements like competition and the desire for approval to free the self, gently resonate with hearts weary of the daily clamor.

Rather than resignation, it’s a song that offers a positive sense of release, embracing everything and moving forward.

This is a masterpiece whose delicate, translucent piano tones gently soothe the heart.

The clear, pristine melody played by Ryuichi Sakamoto tenderly accompanies the listener, like a breeze rippling across the surface of water.

Released in May 1999 as a theme for a Daiichi Sankyo pharmaceutical commercial, this piece achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first instrumental work to top the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, its simple yet deeply expressive sound resonating with many.

Its pleasant sense of weightlessness offers a moment of peace from a busy day, aids concentration, and provides a serene companion for quiet reading—creating a truly healing experience.
