smileikimonogakari
Here is a song by Ikimonogakari released in 2013.
Since it was the theme song for “Pokémon the Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram and White—Victini and Zekrom,” in which vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka also participated as a voice actress, many children may be familiar with this track.
As you’d expect from a Pokémon song, the lyrics are uplifting, offering courage and comfort, and just following along with the words can make you forget your worries.
meteorKobukuro
Released in 2010, Kobukuro’s single “Ryūsei” also served as a TV drama theme song.
When we want to be healed, many of us naturally turn to the power of nature.
True to its title, this song evokes the night sky as you listen, painting scenes in your mind that alone feel soothing.
And with Kobukuro’s signature, wonderful harmonies, it brings even deeper comfort.
The poetic lyrics, linking the starry sky and the heart’s emotions, are sure to sink into and heal a wounded heart.
Tears Sparkle☆supittsu
It was released in 1995 as Spitz’s 12th single.
The song was used as the opening theme for TBS’s “COUNT DOWN TV” and as a commercial song for Sharp’s “Sharp MD.” The star symbol in the title is said to have been added to hype up Tanabata, since the band members had publicly stated at concerts and elsewhere that they prefer Tanabata to Christmas.
If I could hum at dawnKamishiraishi Mone
This song by Mone Kamishiraishi, which was broadcast on NHK Minna no Uta starting in April 2020, was written by Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari.
Imagined with the themes of embracing diversity and joining hands, the song prompts us to reflect on what true human kindness really is.
Mone Kamishiraishi’s pure, translucent voice resonates in listeners’ hearts and brings healing—such a song.
In the age of COVID, many things are difficult, but genuine human kindness is all the more important.
ORIONNakajima Mika
How about trying to reset your feelings by having a good cry? This song, Mika Nakashima’s “ORION,” reminds us of the importance of thinking about someone dear.
Released in 2008 as her 27th single, it was featured as an insert song in the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna.” Nakashima’s clear, pure voice is truly beautiful—it feels like it gently seeps into the depths of your heart.
It’s a moving piece that softly places a hand on your shoulder and tells you, “It’s okay to cry,” wrapping your whole body in sound.
Don’t cry, Glory Moon.Saitō Kazuyoshi
A song overflowing with kindness and hope gently wraps the listener’s heart.
Like moonlight offering quiet encouragement, it stays close to those feeling defeated or alone and gives them the courage to look forward.
Saito Kazuyoshi’s warm vocals and approachable melody are captivating, and just listening to it fills you with tenderness.
Released in October 2024, it was written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “The Travel Nurse.” It’s the kind of track that makes you want to listen while gazing up at the night sky.

honest / frank / straightforwardMakihara Noriyuki
When do you find yourself wanting to be soothed, looking for healing music? Many of you are probably feeling on the verge of breaking, or simply exhausted, right? For those moments, I recommend Noriyuki Makihara’s “Sunao.” Released as a single in 1997, it’s a soothing number with a pleasantly ear-pleasing piano melody.
When we’re tired, many of us can’t see what’s around us and grow dull to things.
Listening to this song can be eye-opening—it helps you regain a straightforward, honest state of mind.
