The lyrics reveal the anguish of a protagonist who can’t bring themselves to trust others, yet you can still feel the strength of someone who refuses to give up on the future—a profoundly moving song.
Released in 2022 as the theme for the drama “Kurosagi,” starring Sho Hirano, it also drew attention for King & Prince’s high-difficulty choreography by RIEHATA.

I don’t need wings.NEW!AKB48
This work features a pleasantly nostalgic, folk-inspired melody.
Released as a single in June 2016, it marked Mion Mukaichi’s first time as center.
The warm lyrics—telling you it’s okay not to rush, that even without wings you can keep walking firmly on the ground—really resonate.
The music video, crafted with a worldview reminiscent of the student movements of the 1970s, also drew attention, and the song is known as the theme for the Amazon Prime Video drama “AKB48 Sousenkyo Scandal: Akiba Document.” With the acoustic guitar tones layered with the members’ gentle chorus, it’s a track packed with a timeless charm that transcends generations.

Scent of SinNEW!Fuji Kaze
This track is included on the masterpiece HELP EVER HURT NEVER, released in May 2020.
Its thrilling sound—where elements of jazz, rock, and Latin intertwine—and the weighty arrangement created by the album’s only horn section leave a strong impression.
The lyrics, depicting temptation toward sin and the struggle against it, cut deeply into the listener’s heart.
It also drew attention when Enon Kawatani praised it on a TV program in 2021.
Among Fujii Kaze’s songs, this one is particularly difficult in terms of rhythm.
To bring out its distinctive groove, it’s important to strongly feel the off-beats.
If you sing on sheer momentum, the melody will leave you behind, so make sure to practice locking into the rhythm.
For those seeking stimulating music, this is an irresistible track.

Released in December 2025, marking the fifth anniversary of their debut, this piece became a major talking point as the first new song in about four years since the classic album “Siip.” The delicate sound that embraces silence and the vocals delivered in an almost monologue-like, understated flow truly resonate.
The lyrics, which gently scoop up the ache of a wavering heart that wants to affirm itself but can’t quite manage to, seem poised to seep deeply into listeners’ inner worlds.
This ballad, which beautifully captures the transience of moments that vanish in an instant, is a gentle companion for quiet nights when you want to face yourself alone.
