Yagiri no Watashi (Yagiri Ferry)chiaki naomi
This is a song by Naomi Chiaki that was included on the B-side of the 1976 single “Sakabagawa,” and, due to its popularity, was released as an A-side single in 1982.
The following year, it was covered by famous singers such as Takashi Hosokawa, Eiko Segawa, and Kiyoshi Nakajo, but many kayōkyoku fans still rave that “Naomi Chiaki’s version is the best!” The song portrays the feelings of a man and a woman heading to an unfamiliar place as if fleeing from something.
Indeed, Naomi Chiaki’s sultry, heartrending voice fits the image perfectly, doesn’t it?
Ballad of Their Footstepschinohajime
It’s the ending theme of “Hajime Ningen Gyatoruz.” It’s a laid-back yet grand song, composed by the one and only Hiroshi Kamayatsu.
In addition to Kamayatsu’s own self-cover, there’s also a version covered by Kyoko Koizumi, among others.
It’s a song that’s easy for women to sing as well.
No way.nuo × shibetsu
The noisy soundscape is decadent and cool.
It’s a collaboration track by Vocaloid producers Nuo and Shibetsu, released in 2020.
The grunge- and alternative-tinged arrangement pairs perfectly with NEO-HIME’s innocent yet razor-sharp vocals.
The lyrics, which sing of possessiveness, are dangerously alluring.
It’s cute, but the yandere-leaning content will make your heart race.
If you like rock bands, this might be a particularly striking Hime track for you.
Highly recommended for late-night listening!
grilled fishnuyuri
The video featuring artwork with characters in school uniforms is handled by Aoko.
As the song progresses, the visuals increasingly express loneliness, growing more and more heartbreaking…
The song develops as if the emotions are escalating, and in the end it modulates, with the arrangement reaching a peak in complexity.
While the lyrics may feel negative, the cute fish that appear partway through the video seem to harmonize and balance that mood.
Vegetable Songnogacchi
This is a vegetable-themed song created for food education by singer-songwriter Nogacchi.
It’s a fun track with lyrics that express gratitude to the farmers who grew the vegetables and spark interest in kids who dislike them.
Listening to it makes you want to eat vegetables.

YATTA!happatai
Do you know the legendary sketch comedy show Warau Inu no Bōken (Adventures of the Laughing Dog)? Anyone in their 50s and up used to watch it religiously.
The song YATTA! was born from one of its popular sketches.
The flow of the sketch goes like this: something good happens to Uchimura, then the “Leaf Squad” led by Nanchan appears to celebrate him, they sing YATTA! and then exit the scene—and it’s hilariously well-timed.
The song itself is a celebratory tune you sing when something good happens, like passing an exam or getting a promotion.
When you want to celebrate someone, start by hyping up the room with this song.
If you form a little unit and perform it with a sketch-comedy vibe, it’s sure to be a hit!
promiseharumakigohan
This is a Vocaloid song that lets you bask in a nostalgic mood.
It’s a track by the multi-talented Harumaki Gohan, who also creates the illustrations and video, released in 2019.
One of its charms is the soft, dreamlike sound arrangement imbued with a clear, airy atmosphere.
The piano’s tone resonates gently.
The highly narrative lyrics, which recall promises from childhood, spark all kinds of imagination.
As you listen, you might find yourself shedding tears without even noticing.
By the way, the video features a version sung by Harumaki Gohan himself.
