ChangesHi-STANDARD
This song is a reconstruction of the legendary ballad created by the iconic heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
While preserving the melancholic yet beautiful melody of the original, the addition of distorted guitars and an urgent beat imbues it with a palpable strength amid the sadness.
Released in June 1999, it is included on the landmark album MAKING THE ROAD, which sold over 650,000 copies.
The song portrays the deep sorrow of a man whose beloved woman has left him, alongside his helpless attempt to accept the change in their relationship—its raw emotional expression is truly heart-wrenching.
It’s a track that gently stays by your side on nights weighed down by an overwhelming sense of loss.

A Little SongJUJU
JUJU made her full-fledged debut in 2009.
For many women in their 40s, “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” might be their youth anthem.
JUJU released “Chiisana Uta” in September 2025.
It has a very calm vibe, so once you learn the melody, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to C#5, and since it’s not a song that requires belting, it’s reassuring for those who struggle with high notes.
If you place each word carefully as you sing, you won’t rush the rhythm.
Singing as if you’re speaking to someone also helps you keep the rhythm, so it’s recommended! For parts that feel a bit high, use plenty of breath and lightly sing with the image of resonating in your head.
Also, the key changes in the last chorus and the range goes up, so don’t push it—getting comfortable using falsetto there will make it easier to sing.
Coffee House of the Chelsea HotelMatsuda Seiko
Set in a café inside a city hotel, this is a hidden gem by Seiko Matsuda that captures a tense, fleeting moment with a lover.
In those brief seconds before an answer is given, the feelings conveyed through fingers entwined on the tabletop and the protagonist’s wavering heart as her gaze drifts out the window tighten the listener’s chest.
Matsuda’s delicate vocal expression shines as she matures from idol to adult artist.
The song appears on the album “SUPREME,” released in June 1986—an intriguing detail given that this masterpiece went on to win the Album of the Year at the 28th Japan Record Awards the same year.
Despite containing no singles, it received high acclaim, making it a pivotal work in discussing Matsuda’s career.
It’s a perfect listen for a quiet night of solitary reflection.
ChallengerPerfume
This work features a music video theme selected through a public call for submissions.
The song itself is something special: an unreleased track that sparked the first encounter between the group and producer Yasutaka Nakata, reconstructed from a contemporary perspective.
Set to bubbly, retro-tinged electronic sounds that recall their early days, the lyrics send cheers to their past selves and really hit home.
It’s included on the best-of album “Perfume The Best ‘P Cubed,’” released in September 2019.
It’s sure to support you as you chase your dreams.

When autumn deepens and a hint of winter drifts in, you can’t help but slip into contemplation, can you? One song that gently stays close to that feeling comes from Yorushika, the duo of composer n-buna and vocalist suis.
This track portrays a quiet resolve: sparked by subtle changes in everyday life, it sets out toward an unseen future while accepting the past.
Suis’s clear, translucent voice conveys that bittersweet yet forward-looking emotion and strikes right at the heart.
Released in August 2022, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “Mahou no Renovation.” It’s a perfect number for those late-autumn nights when you’re in a sentimental mood.
