Once AgainEsaki Fumitake
A short piano piece from the live-action film, composed by Fumitake Ezaki.
Positioned mid-way through the soundtrack, this work lasts just over a minute, yet it quietly depicts the film’s motifs of “reunion” and “return” with gentle piano melodies and restrained reverberation.
Included in the album Five Centimeters per Second Original Soundtrack, which comprises 31 tracks.
Why not experience this score that expresses the accumulation of time and memory through sound?
Waltz for ShinoEsaki Fumitake
A delicate waltz-form piano miniature included on the soundtrack of the live-action film adaptation of 5 Centimeters per Second.
Composed by Fumitake Ezaki, it is one of the score pieces whose triple-meter lilt and restrained harmonies quietly mirror the protagonists’ missed connections and the reverberation of their memories.
Within its brief span of roughly 30 seconds, the condensed lyricism fulfills its role as cue music that breathes with the film, accompanying those moments when faint light and tranquil scenes linger in the heart.
One-Room ChristmasCARAMEL CANDiD
On Christmas night, spending time alone in a studio apartment.
This song, which revisits the distance between who I am now and the memories of the tree I once gathered around with my family as a child, delicately portrays the loneliness felt all the more in a festive season and the unextinguished longing for warmth.
The clear, high-toned vocals resonate as if awakening the bells and lights from memory, highlighting a lyrical world where sweetness and bitterness coexist.
Released digitally by the four-piece band CARAMEL CANDiD in October 2024, the track was later included on their October 2025 album, “A Place with Neither Heaven nor Hell.” Year-end parties and dazzling celebrations are great, but when you want to quietly look back on the year, this is a song that gently keeps you company for a Christmas spent alone.
forgotten itemGRAPEVINE
Puddles reflecting the sun, a sweat-drenched past, holiday lights in December—though the lyrics are dotted with such vivid scenes, a somehow bittersweet and distant memory rises to the surface in this GRAPEVINE number.
The song appears as the fourth track on their 19th album, Far From That Road, released in May 2025, with lyrics by Kazumasa Tanaka and music by drummer Toru Kamei.
The jangly guitars layered with strings gently cradle a nostalgia for something lost in adulthood.
It’s a perfect song for the year’s end, when you find yourself looking back and longing for “those days.”
cotton candyback number
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.
Released in 2012 as the sixth single, it was also included on the third album “blues” and the best-of collection “Encore.” Chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV in July 2012, it reached many listeners.
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.

Youth is plasma.Kushida Akira
Released in March 1981 as the ending theme for the fifth entry in the Super Sentai series, Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, this song unites Akira Kushida’s powerful vocals with the harmonies of Korogi ’73 to celebrate courage and hope, comparing youth to plasma, a scientific form of thermal energy.
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.
A personal matterkocchi no kento
Released in October 2025 as singer-songwriter Kocchi no Kento’s first TV drama theme song, this track portrays the struggle between the desire to express one’s feelings honestly and the inability to be completely straightforward.
The lyrics, which depict a down-to-earth self who puts on a bright face while harboring inner vulnerability, exude a deeply human charm born from love-related worries.
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.
