TO BEHamasaki Ayumi
Released in May 1999 as Ayumi Hamasaki’s eighth single, this work reached a peak position of No.
4 on the Oricon chart.
Beneath its dazzling, pop-infused sound lies a philosophical message that steps back to observe the self and questions the meaning of life.
It was featured in JT’s “Momo no Tennen-sui” commercial, and many may remember the ad in which Hamasaki herself appeared.
Later included on the acclaimed album LOVEppears, this track is one that stays by your side on nights when you quietly face yourself at a crossroads in life.
trutharashi
The A-side track from Arashi’s single “truth/Kaze no Mukō e,” notable for its dark, mysterious atmosphere.
Released in August 2008, the song was used as the theme for the TBS drama Maō, starring Satoshi Ohno.
Its tense melody and string-heavy arrangement brilliantly capture the drama’s themes of revenge and sorrow.
It topped the Oricon year-end chart, marking Arashi’s first-ever year-end No.
1—a remarkable achievement.
It’s the perfect song to sink into after watching a suspense drama or film.
TOKYO SNOWSakurazaka46

It’s included on the standard edition of the single “I want tomorrow to come,” released in October 2024.
Opening with a poetry reading by Shizuki Yamashita, the song expresses a contradictory longing—wishing the snow would settle even while knowing it won’t—through a serene, piano-centered sound.
The feelings that melt away before they can be put into words, and the aching tenderness that still compels a wish, press close to the heart.
It’s a song that gently keeps you company on a night of quietly falling snow, as you think of the one you love from afar.

This song by the hip-hop duo Hilcrhyme—known for hits like “Shunkashūtō (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter)”—was released in June 2011 as part of the single “no one.” It conveys a straightforward message to a friend who shared their youthful days, intertwining a touch of bittersweet nostalgia for the past with heartfelt warmth in wishing happiness for a companion stepping into the future.
It’s a theme anyone can relate to, making it a perfect piece to celebrate a loved one’s new beginning.

Centered around singer-songwriter JQ, Nulbarich is a band that operates without fixed members.
Their signature is an urban sound grounded in R&B and neo-soul, but the track I’m introducing here has a special background—it’s a song JQ wrote before forming the band.
Released in January 2021, it sings of the sense of entrapment felt in an opaque society and the hope to keep looking forward nonetheless.
Its unadorned lyrics are likely to resonate with many listeners.
The sophisticated melody riding on the groove is perfect for those moments when you want to step away from the rush of everyday life and face yourself.
