BirdsongCocco
This piece is striking for its quiet acoustic guitar tones and Cocco’s delicate yet resolute vocals.
Close your eyes and you can almost see a bluebird dancing in your heart, taking flight into a boundless sky.
You may find yourself moved by its poetic worldview, imbued with prayers for release from stifling confines and for renewal.
The song was used symbolically in the documentary film “To Be Okay — Cocco’s Endless Journey.” The recording was originally released in November 2009 as a bonus with the first-edition DVD of the film, and it was later included on the best-of album “The Best.” It’s the perfect track for a night when you want to quietly face yourself.
The Little Bird That Forgot How to FlyMISIA
MISIA’s song overlays the image of a bird so wounded it has forgotten how to fly with the hidden fragility everyone carries in their hearts.
It is said to embody the artist’s own belief that no matter how strong we pretend to be, inside we are as vulnerable as a little bird that has lost its way.
Beginning with a quiet piano and unfolding into majestic strings, the sound itself traces the journey of a heart finding light amid confusion.
The track is included on the million-selling album “KISS IN THE SKY,” released in September 2002, and is widely loved as the theme song for the RPG “Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.” It’s a tale of renewal that, when listened to on nights you feel crushed by your own powerlessness, inspires you to cherish the warm happiness that lies beyond the pain.
Like a birdŌhashi Torio
This is a gentle number by ohashiTrio, selected in October 2017 as the theme song for TBS’s “The World Heritage.” Later included on the best album “ohashiTrio best Too,” the piece is notable for its warm piano and sweeping strings.
The sound seems to mirror birds soaring across vast landscapes, inviting listeners’ hearts to a sky of freedom.
When you want to step away from daily life for a refresh, or when you’re filled with a longing to travel, listening to it will surely make your heart feel lighter.
Why not experience the sensation of being enveloped by majestic nature?
TORICOIwatatakanori
This is a solo work by Takanori Iwata, featuring a pleasing, passionate Latin rhythm.
Released in July 2025, it was chosen as the CM song for JATA’s “More! Overseas” campaign, enhancing the open, carefree mood of summer.
The sound instantly captivates listeners, and the lyrics—framing the push-and-pull of romance—leave a strong impression.
With Iwata’s lustrous vocal performance, it skillfully conveys a mature passion.
It’s perfect not only as BGM for a beachside party, but also for setting the mood on a special night with someone important.
Talking To The MoonBruno Mars
Even if people around me think it’s strange, I end up speaking to the moon to convey my feelings to a lover far away.
This is the kind of earnest love portrayed in a piano ballad by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars.
Within the lonely actions born from the sadness of being unable to meet, there’s a single-minded devotion that thinks deeply of the other person.
The song is included on his 2010 debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, and after being featured in a Brazilian TV drama, it spent 22 consecutive weeks at No.
1 in that country.
Anyone who has experienced a long-distance relationship will surely grasp this poignant sentiment.
You might just find yourself looking up at the sky, thinking of someone dear to you.
Tot MusicaAdo
Ado’s masterpiece “Tot Musica.” This work is crafted as a hard rock track with elements reminiscent of gothic rock and gothic metal, and it makes extensive use of full-fledged shouts in the chorus.
As was the case with early Ado herself, forced shouting can sound contrived.
Therefore, to perform this song well, you need to master shouts that arise naturally as an extension of a powerful voice, like Ado’s current style.
If you can produce natural shouts, definitely give it a try.
bullfighterChar
Among blues songs with a slightly pop feel, there’s “Matador.” It’s a track released by the singer-songwriter Char.
In the first half, set to a mid-tempo sound, the lyrics liken a heartbroken man to a matador.
That section carries a mood close to Japanese kayōkyoku, but in the latter half the song modulates and shifts into a tougher, weightier blues.
The arrangement matches this change, bringing the man’s sorrow into sharper focus.
It’s great both for quiet, reflective moments and for when you want to get fired up.
