Parting at 22kaze
The debut song by the folk duo Kaze is a heartwarming classic, as gentle as the spring sunshine.
The lyrics vividly portray the pure love and parting of youth, while the tender acoustic guitar melody weaves a beautiful harmony.
Since its release in 1975, it has been covered by many artists and even adapted into a film by director Nobuhiko Obayashi in 2007, remaining beloved across generations.
In NHK’s “SukiUta — Kouhaku Everyone’s Survey,” it ranked 71st for the White Team.
It’s a perfect song for savoring slowly when you want to bask in nostalgic memories, and it could also spark lively conversations among older listeners about their experiences from back in the day.
Even The Nights Are BetterAir Supply
This song features a pleasant melody and warm harmonies that evoke a calm seaside scene.
Known as one of Air Supply’s signature works, it was included on the album “Now and Forever,” released in June 1982.
The lyrics gently portray a man’s feelings as he, after a lost love, finds a new romance—moving from loneliness to hope, expressed through Air Supply’s characteristically soft vocals.
It’s the perfect track for peaceful moments, whether you’re on your way to or from the beach, or spending a quiet night with someone special.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to soothe their heart.
The one that you loveAir Supply
The song “The One That You Love,” released as a single from Australian band Air Supply’s 1981 album of the same name, topped the U.S.
charts and became a major hit in Japan as well.
Like the previous year’s “Lost in Love,” it’s a track that evokes a 100% refreshing summer-by-the-sea vibe.
Stand By MeBen E. King
This is a signature work by the American soul singer Ben E.
King, and it is also famous as the theme song of the film with the same title.
With a relaxed, country-style sound and an unforgettable melody, the piece is notable for its beautiful orchestral interlude, which has led to many arrangements for wind ensemble.
Top of The WorldCarpenters
The brother-and-sister duo the Carpenters took the world by storm in the 1970s and are still famous today.
Their songs are often sung in Japan because they feature singable, catchy melodies and use relatively simple English words that even children can understand.
This song is also included in the wind band piece “Carpenters Forever,” a collection of the Carpenters’ classic hits.
