partner; spouse (used gender-neutrally for one’s companion in life)Nakamura Mitsuko
Mitsuko Nakamura’s classic “Tsureai” is memorable for its warm melody.
Sung from a male perspective, it expresses gratitude and love for one’s partner, featuring a slow tempo and a cozy vocal line to match the theme.
While there are a fair number of kobushi (ornamental turns), the vocal line itself moves gently up and down in pitch, so it isn’t particularly difficult.
Even the kobushi at the end of the chorus traverses about five notes, but each turn has a clear pause, making it singable even for those who struggle with kobushi similar to the Kawachi-ondo style she’s known for.
Tsugaru ElegyNakanishi Rie
This is a classic enka song that resonates with the heart, steeped in the chill and wistful mood of Tsugaru.

Released on April 3, 2024, the song features lyrics by Shinichi Ishihara and music by Keisuke Hama.
Shortly after its release, in April, “Utachikara LIVE Vol.
1 BANKA” was held in Tokyo, where 14 songs including this piece were performed.
It’s a must-listen for anyone feeling the cold of winter, the pain of heartbreak, or those wishing to rediscover the allure of enka.
Why not picture the landscapes of Tsugaru and enjoy it to your heart’s content?

Strength is love.Kushida Akira
This is a song by Akira Kushida, released in March 1983 as the ending theme for the tokusatsu TV drama Space Sheriff Sharivan.
Its lyrics carry the message that true strength lies not in power but in love, continuing to inspire listeners with courage and hope.
At the time of its release, it was a major hit, reaching No.
3 on Oricon’s year-end chart.
The song has since been covered by many artists and remains a beloved classic among tokusatsu fans.
It’s perfect for moments when you need the courage to face difficulties or to fire yourself up—Akira Kushida’s soulful, powerful husky voice is sure to lift you up.
Counterattack of the Earth Demon ArmyHisaishi Joe
The Dorok Principality League is depicted as a force antagonistic to Tolmekia.
In the original manga, there are scenes where the Dorok army battles Tolmekia’s Kushana forces, but in the film the Dorok army appears only in flashbacks.
The soundtrack used in those scenes is this track, “The Dorok Army Strikes Back.” It makes extensive use of murky-sounding chords, effectively conveying the oppressive weight of the combat scenes.
The Great Tree of TsukamoriHisaishi Joe
A song used in the scene where, with the help of Totoro and his friends, the seeds Mei and the others planted rapidly grow into a great tree.
Among the many masterpieces in the soundtrack of My Neighbor Totoro, this piece has moved countless people with its particularly beautiful melody.
Perhaps the reason we’re so deeply moved by the grandeur of the towering O-Tsukamori tree as it rises in that scene is the brilliance of this music.
The Mysteries of the MoonHisaishi Joe
Here’s a track that perfectly fits the title “Mysteries of the Moon.” Its sharp, edgy high notes—like bursts of colliding light—leave a striking impression.
There’s hardly any conventional rhythm, yet that absence only deepens the mysterious atmosphere.
The moon, an unknown world.
This must-listen, top-recommended piece is packed with feelings of fascination, unease, instability, and longing toward that moon.
