It was also the opening theme song for the 2017 drama “Byplayers,” which drew attention by shining a spotlight on six standout character actors.

It’s the kind of song you want to listen to when you don’t know where to direct feelings that can’t be helped, or when you’re facing doubts and inner conflict.

If I turn around…Janne Da Arc

This is a graduation ballad by a popular visual-kei rock band that is currently on hiatus.

It’s a moving rock ballad that’s nothing like what you’d expect from their flamboyant visual-kei appearance.

I hope people will listen to it during graduation season or when parting from someone important.

The sixth single from FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, who have released numerous love songs.

From a male perspective, it expresses unforgettable feelings and heartache for a former lover with very straightforward lyrics.

A tear-jerking love song recommended for anyone who’s experienced heartbreak.

It was used in commercials for NTT East and NTT West, so I think you heard it often on TV.

It’s included on the album “SENSE,” released in 2010.

The lyrics, of course, are moving, but it’s Sakurai’s convincing vocals that make tears well up before you know it, isn’t it?

Originally written for a friend’s wedding, this song is very popular and often sung at weddings.

It’s been over 20 years since its release, yet it remains a beloved classic among fans.

It has a certain warmth to it, making it especially recommended for those who have a special girlfriend or are about to get married.

Thank youSUPER BEAVER

The word “thank you” is something we sometimes use without thinking, and it’s a pretty popular phrase, but I think it’s rare to find a song that resonates this directly.

It’s very simple, yet that “thank you” from the bottom of the heart can move you to tears, right?

If you’re feeling nostalgic as you remember an old love, Aimyon’s “Marigold” is highly recommended.

The lyrics sing about a past romance, and the sound has a somewhat nostalgic feel too, so listening to it brings back all kinds of memories, doesn’t it?
