An unforgettable personGō Hiromi

A vision of an old lover that suddenly comes back to mind.

This piece feels like you’re watching a sad love drama.

It’s a track included as the B-side to the 67th single, “Aitakute Shikatanai,” released in 1995, and it was used in a “Tenshi no Bra” commercial.

The mellow, mature melody combined with the rich, husky vocal work lets Gō-san’s charm slowly seep through.

I can’t help but listen to it while projecting my own experiences onto it.

The lowest notes are very low, so I recommend it as an easy-to-sing song for men.

Catharsis of youthGō Hiromi

Precisely because you love someone, you can’t show your true self in front of them… This song portrays the difficulty of such delicate emotions.

Released in 1980 as the 36th single, “Wakasa no Catharsis” was used as an insert song in the drama “Mrs., Me, and Señor!” Its slightly ennui-laden mood pairs perfectly with Hiromi Go’s wistful vocals.

It’s cool yet heartbreaking—a work with a strikingly dual appeal.

Since the highest notes are quite low, even men who aren’t confident with high tones should find it easy to try.

It’s a work by singer-songwriter Mikio Sakai and was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Planetes.

Even amid tiring days, it urges us to love ourselves and find the courage to take a new step forward, offering bravery and hope when we’re lost in life or on the verge of losing ourselves.

Its refreshing melody makes it genuinely pleasant to listen to.

Private railway line areaNoguchi Goro

Set along a private railway line, it delicately portrays the protagonist going about everyday life while carrying the pain of a broken heart.

Goro Noguchi’s gentle vocals beautifully capture both the poignancy and the bittersweetness.

Released in January 1975, the song became a major hit on the Oricon charts and is considered one of Noguchi’s signature tracks.

It also won numerous music awards, including the Grand Prix at the 8th Japan Cable Radio Awards.

It’s a recommended adult love song for those moments when you want to soothe the ache of heartbreak or listen while gazing at the city nightscape.

Parting CitySuzuki Masayuki

A gem of a ballad by Masayuki Suzuki, depicting a heartrending breakup, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement all by Kazumasa Oda.

The transience of a drifting heart, the pure devotion of believing in the words they shared, and the regret for a past that can never be reclaimed.

These soul-tearing emotions are exquisitely conveyed through Suzuki’s rich, velvety voice.

Released in September 1989, the song was featured as an insert track for the drama “LUCKY! Tenshi, Miyako e Iku” and in a Ginza Jewelry Maki commercial, and was later included on the album “Dear Tears.” On a quiet night, when you feel like immersing yourself in memories of someone dear, why not lend your ear to this song?
