Tokyo Metropolis SongNEW!Tōkyō-to
This work, which symbolizes the Tokyo Metropolis, was established in April 1947 during the postwar reconstruction period and has been passed down as a song carrying the hopes of Tokyo’s residents.
The lyrics by Shigehisa Harada and the music by Hiroshi Kasuya, both chosen through a public competition, depict a morning moving toward peace and abundant nature.
It is also historically notable that, when it was designated as the Tokyo citizens’ song, a 78 rpm record was released by King Records and a related wind band arrangement was produced.
Even today, it continues to be featured through tie-ins with public relations efforts timed to Tokyo Citizens’ Day, such as the 2024 issue of “Koho Tokyo.” While conveying the weight of history, this piece embodies a wish for a bright future and can rightly be called a song that represents the pride of Japan’s capital, Tokyo.

A gemlike love ballad that carefully portrays gratitude for the person who’s always by your side and unwavering affection.
Marcy, a rock band known for numerous songs about love, released it in October 2025.
Written as an answer song to their smash hit “Love Song,” this piece features a warm, live-performance feel with a bright band sound that resonates deeply.
It expresses the growing feelings for a loved one and conveys a heartfelt message of living together forever.
If you want to deliver overflowing feelings to someone special, be sure to give this track a listen.
A love song from long agoNEW!Sakamoto Fuyumi
This piece portrays a scene where memories of past love intersect with a present reunion.
Written and composed by Yuka Kawamura, it is a commemorative single marking the 40th anniversary of her debut.
Its supple, jazz-inflected resonance leaves a strong impression.
The song also carries a delicate atmosphere that only a seasoned performer can truly convey.
With its calm mood, it feels perfect for moments when you want to quietly reflect on the journey of life.
Because it won’t reach / Because it doesn’t reachNEW!Hirai Ken
This is a ballad written as the theme song for the film “50 First Kisses,” starring Takayuki Yamada and Masami Nagasawa in dual leading roles.
It sings of a bittersweet love for someone whose memory resets every day, and the music video’s clown dance in a tatami room became a hot topic.
The vocals over a light electric guitar are particularly striking.
The key point is the chorus’s choppy, start-and-stop melodic line, where the singer intentionally inhales and exhales during the breaks to let you enjoy the sound of the breath.
Try singing it with an easy touch, without overexerting yourself.
2gether 4everNEW!AYANE
Sung by singer-songwriter AYANE, this piece portrays a friendship that supports each other across physical distance.
It captures a down-to-earth relationship—confiding worries over the phone and lifting each other up—and wraps listeners’ hearts in warmth.
Released in March 2023, the song is also included on the album “#Twenty.” Its R&B-tinged, comfortable melody makes it easy to sincerely express gratitude to a friend, which is part of its charm.
If you’ve been asked to do a performance as the bride’s best friend, it could be lovely to play this song as BGM while showing a slideshow of your memories.
The message of “let’s stay friends forever” is sure to fill the venue with a moving atmosphere.

Distant SkyNEW!Ozaki Yutaka
It’s striking how it’s arranged in an acoustic guitar singer-songwriter style, with the harmonica used to great effect.
It’s said that fragments of the lyrics were written during the 1986 stay in the U.S.
or during the subsequent detention, and the work blends the stifling atmosphere of that time with hope for the future.
“Tooi Sora” has relatively few lyrics, the chorus repeats phrases often, and the melody line is easy to remember.
If you sing the chorus with clear accents, it’s easier to project your voice and you’ll likely find it comfortable to sing.
Also, it might be good to sing it powerfully while moving with the groove.
