Songs with titles starting with “Tsu.” Introducing classics from the Showa to Reiwa eras! (421–430)
moonlightMurashita Kōzō
This is a song by Kozo Murashita, a singer who passed away at a young age.
Many of Murashita’s songs have beautiful, heartrending lyrics and melodies, and this is one of his masterpieces.
In this song, the couple in love may have parted ways under the moonlight.
Yukara on a Moonlit NightToukyou Esumujika
This is a song released in 2004 by Tokyo Eth Musica, a trio consisting of twin vocalists Ai Ei and Miho Hirade and composer Daichi Hayakawa.
Its Asian flavor and expansive scale make it the kind of tune that becomes addictive after just one listen.
Lilac of ReminiscenceToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
This piece was a song included on the 2006 album “WILD PEACE.” Listening to it makes your chest tighten with a poignant ache.
The protagonist is a selfish man, but it sounds like a song dedicated to the woman who gently embraced him nonetheless.
The horn section has a gorgeous resonance.
Moon Silver CoinTougou Akiko
Where there are meetings, there are farewells…
This is a heart-wrenching ballad that sets you reflecting on the fleeting nature of love.
It’s a song by Akiko Togo, a singer-songwriter from Kagoshima Prefecture, released in 2016 as her debut single.
The piece draws you in with the beautiful tones of piano and strings, perfectly matched by Togo’s clear, translucent vocals that resonate deeply.
It’s both sorrowful and, curiously, soothing—a work you’ll want to sink into and listen to at a leisurely pace.
bravadoMatsushita Kohei
Kohei Matsushita—well known from the morning drama series Scarlet, various musicals, and even the Gochi ni Nari-masu! segment on the variety show Guruguru Ninety-Nine—made his debut as a musician with this major-label single in 2021.
Produced by the master of Japanese R&B, Kiyoshi Matsuo, who has worked with artists like CHEMISTRY and EXILE, the song portrays the aching heart of a man facing a breakup.
Its lyrics are easy for men to relate to, capturing the sting of regrets—like pretending not to notice, or looking away because you can’t face your partner’s feelings even though you sense them.
Those depictions really hit home.
The melancholic, kayōkyoku-like atmosphere also matches the mature world view that Matsushita exudes, making the song all the more moving.
Like a swallowMatsutōya Yumi
People often say that the deceased become stars, but Yumi Matsutoya wrote that they become swallows.
The words that could be taken as ironic—“Those who have passed don’t grow older, while I keep aging…”—don’t sound that way because there is love there.
A song that sounds dry and cool even though someone has died, holding grief tightly in check.

A hop, skip, and a jump to the moonMatsutōya Yumi
Released on November 2, 2016, “A Hop to the Moon,” the seventh track on Yumi Matsutoya’s 38th album, Uchu Toshokan (The Universe Library), feels just like a moonlit musical! The sound puts you in a pleasant mood, Yuming’s evocative vocals overflow with atmosphere, and you’ll want to blissfully lose yourself in the music.
It’s a light, zero-gravity song!
