If I were to die tomorrowKitanitatsuya
A track that opens Tatsuya Kitani’s album ROUNDABOUT and profoundly questions the meaning of living in the present.
Released in January 2024, this song breaks from his usual composing style of starting with the chorus, instead being carefully built from the intro.
Beginning with a beautiful piano melody and surging forward cloaked in grand strings, the sound carries a wish for listeners to keep living even while holding despair.
The lyrics, like a pinky swear of a promise, can be seen as Kitani’s declaration of intent for the music itself to be a source of support for the listener.
It’s a song that stays close to the hearts of those struggling to breathe through their days or prone to holding back their emotions.

The contradictions that become visible as we age, and our immaturity even as adults.
Frankly voicing such life-sized struggles, “Wagamono-tachi yo” is a message song that follows in Ketsumeishi’s tradition of “anthems to life.” Set to a laid-back beat, it carefully portrays the wavering emotions that arise as we juggle work, family, and the choices we make each day.
It’s a song that stays by your side when you’re unsure about everyday decisions and want to recheck your footing.

Set against the backdrop of a summer festival, this bittersweet love song portrays the feelings of a man who can’t bring himself to confess his love.

Wanting to hold hands but hesitating, wanting to say “I like you” but unable to put it into words—the song is filled with that poignant frustration, evoking the faint, youthful crushes many experienced in their school days.
Amid the lively bustle of the festival, quiet emotions surface; this is a track that resonates with the sweet, fleeting moments of love.

The brass-driven rock march composed and arranged by Chuumei Watanabe provides propulsive force, perfectly embodying the show’s theme of the sun as a symbol of life.
Used through episode 33, this ending theme evokes memories of gathering with family in front of the TV.
Play it when you need a boost or want to remember your younger self.

As the theme for TV Asahi’s Tuesday 9 p.m.
drama “Just a Little Esper,” the song vividly captures the contradictions running through the hearts of its characters.
It’s a highly relatable number that stands beside the everyday conflicts we all carry.
