Songs to listen to when you're tired from work (91–100)
steppin’SOULIVE
If you just want to switch off, surrender to the groove, and be soothed, I recommend the jazz trio Soulive.
In particular, Alan’s drumming features a snare sound so satisfying it makes you realize, “Oh, that’s why you tune drums.”
MiseryTV Gir
A song that is bright and cheerful yet somehow sad and delicate, leaving a mysterious impression.
It’s the key piece that plays during a crucial scene in the film Mulholland Drive.
Is “Misery” a woman’s name? Or the source of sorrow? For now, let’s simply surrender ourselves to the pleasure of its rhythm.

After the cherry blossomsTani Yuuki, cross-dominance Ryo‘LEFTY’Miyata
An encouraging song delicately depicting the shift from winter to spring has been born from the collaboration between Tani Yuuki and cross-dominance.
Through familiar scenes in everyday life—like the north wind, shadows, and a bus stop—it gently embraces moments of farewell and departure, becoming a warm and comforting piece.
The song was presented as the official theme for SAKURA MUSIC FES.
2025, held in March 2025, delivering a message perfectly suited to the spring season to many listeners.
Tani Yuuki’s clear, translucent vocals blend beautifully with the elegant melody produced by Ryo ‘LEFTY’ Miyata, offering gentle solace to the heart.
It’s a track that quietly gives you a nudge—whether you’re seeking to soothe a work-weary soul or are about to take a new step forward.
Fountain of Loveorange pekoe
Orange Pekoe, a pop duo with a soothing, adult vibe, has enjoyed strong popularity since their debut.
Lately, we’ve been seeing them often during the Christmas season as well.
Their songs feel like magic—just listening makes power well up from deep within your body.
nekomeshiyakushimaru etsuko
A track from Etsuko Yakushimaru of Sōtaisei Riron’s second single, “Venus to Jesus.” Its charm lies in the relaxed, cat’s-eye-view lyrics that make frequent use of “nya.” Her whispery vocals soothe heavy feelings.
As the lyrics suggest, taking a break might be a good idea.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking healing.
machineChirinuruwo Waka
A track from Chilinuruwowaka’s fourth album, “Analog.” It likens the self to a machine of unknown capability, singing about becoming a device that does nothing but finish the tasks at hand.
Yet there’s also a sense of urgency—this can’t go on; I have to test the limits of my ability.
Recommended for those who handle their work monotonously but want to aim higher.
Crimson-colored sunsetFujifaburikku
Fujifabric’s sixth single.
It was the ending theme for TV Kanagawa’s “saku saku” in September 2005.
Originally an indie-era song reworked into a major-label single, its vocal style and overall tone were changed.
When vocalist Shimura told Ayano Kouji from Kishidan—his senior at his part-time job—that he was thinking of giving up music and going back to his hometown, Ayano Kouji seriously asked him to give him this song if he was going to leave.
That’s how much of a masterpiece it is, and it remains a fan favorite.
Highly recommended for those who left their hometowns to chase their dreams in Tokyo.
