Enka singer Jun Yanagi, who captivates listeners with her lustrous vocals.

Her August 2025 release, “Tsui Horori,” is an enka ballad that evokes nostalgia in those living in the big city.

Thinking of a hometown from which no letters come, the protagonist feels the coldness of the city—her emotions come through with aching clarity.

If you’re living away from home, doing your best on your own, and a sudden loneliness passes through your heart, this bittersweet yet warm melody will gently wrap you in comfort.

Under the moonlightMONGOL800

MONGOL800 is a rock band based in Okinawa, beloved across generations.

Released in September 2001, their classic album MESSAGE set a record with over 2.8 million copies sold as an indie release, and it includes the song Under the Moonlight.

This track is a love song that sings of pure feelings for a cherished person, conjuring beautiful scenes like moonlight and the summer night sky.

Another hallmark is its structure: it shifts from a gentle, ballad-like first half to an energetic punk sound in the latter half.

This dynamic progression vividly captures the emotional swell as quiet affection transforms into a fiery resolve.

It’s a character song from the anime Minami-ke Okaeri, sung by Minori Chihara, who plays Chiaki Minami.

It’s one of the tracks included on the mini-album Haru Natsu Aki Tojo!!, released in December 2008.

Its gentle tone, perfect for long autumn nights, seeps into the heart.

Listening to it puts me in a relaxed mood.

If you want to soothe a tired heart after busy days, please give it a listen.

Formed as the first sister group of AKB48 and based in Sakae, Nagoya, SKE48.

This work is their debut single, released in August 2009—a powerful number that stands apart from cute idol songs and can be called an anthem for those who fight.

The lyrics depict a hero who, though wounded, overcomes loneliness and strives to carve out the future; it also feels like a declaration of resolve from the group as they set out to take on the scene.

The song was also used as the ending theme for the anime Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen on television.

It’s a track that gives you a push forward—highly recommended for those who want to face challenges or need the courage to take a new step.

Unusually for a GLAY song, the lyrics use “I” as the first-person pronoun, and while it is a love song, they can also be interpreted as reflecting the relationship between the fans and GLAY.

Even ten years after its release, in January 2015, frequent performances on tour captured many hearts and the song reached No.

1 on USEN’s request rankings, and in May 2015 it was released as a single—a masterpiece.

It is also said to be a sister song to the aforementioned “White Road.”
