Young SongKawasaki Takaya

A pop tune by Takaya Kawasaki that gently embraces the hidden feelings in the hearts of adults living in the modern age.
It’s filled with the resolve to face the pure emotions of youth and move forward hand in hand with someone important, even in everyday life where the sense of happiness is starting to fade.
Included on the album “Calendar,” released in December 2021, it was broadcast nationwide as the commercial song for the National Federation of Mini Vehicle Associations starting in November of the same year.
With refreshing acoustic guitar and a clear, transparent vocal that resonates pleasantly, this song offers a gentle push to those anxious about relationships in a new environment or feeling worn out by daily life.
The Promised DecemberSaitō Kazuyoshi

A quintessential winter classic brimming with the feel of snow piling up.
Kazuyoshi Saito’s warm vocals sink deep into the heart.
Released in November 2004, it was Saito’s first Christmas song.
Centered on the theme of youthful winters, it tells a love story that begins on the night of Tanabata.
Its simple yet moving sound, blending elements of folk rock and pop, is truly appealing.
The earnest wish to reunite with a lover and the growing conviction of true love are delicately expressed, making it a song you’ll want to hear during the Christmas season.
It’s also perfect for spending special moments with someone important or for basking in nostalgic memories.
YaeNisshoku Natsuko

The ballad “Yae” evokes a tenderness like being wrapped in the gentle sunshine of spring.
In this piece, the piano played by singer-songwriter Natsuko Nisshoku leaves a strong impression.
Its light, sprightly piano and straightforward vocals resonate pleasantly, and as you listen, it stirs such sorrow that tears may begin to flow naturally.
The falsetto in the chorus, in particular, conveys a fragile atmosphere, making it a recommended track for letting your tears out and finding relief during tough times.
The transition right after the chorus into a more powerful singing style is also beautiful, so be sure to pay attention to that part as well!
Yeah! Super Holiday!Matsuura Aya

When it comes to the top idol of that era, it’s gotta be Ayaya! She wasn’t in a group—she was a solo act who became a trailblazer of Japanese idol culture and is now a living legend: Aya Matsuura.
This is one of her signature songs—an ear-pleasing classic from Hello! Project, produced by Tsunku, full of playful spirit and humor.
The super-upbeat love song that had us all idolizing Ayaya back then still keeps the same irresistible groove today.
