you are my cursenyamura
A work by nyamura that captures the moment deep love turns into hatred.
Overwhelming, maddening feelings of love are conveyed through an understated melody and delicate sound design.
The desire to know everything about the other gradually becomes obsession, ultimately sublimating into emotions so intense they verge on hatred—an impression that lingers.
Released in June 2023, it went viral primarily on TikTok and topped Billboard JAPAN’s TikTok Weekly Top 20 for four consecutive weeks.
Depicting the boundary between pure love and madness, this piece will resonate deeply with anyone struggling with a love they cannot confess.
Dreaming 15-year-oldSumairēji
S/mileage’s major-label debut captures the summer romances of 15-year-old girls, filled with gentle vocals and bittersweet feelings.
Eurobeat-style synths blend with a kayōkyoku-inspired melody, tenderly expressing the fluttery first loves unique to adolescence.
Depicting a girl’s heart swaying between idealized scenes—summer festivals, fireworks, seaside dates—and reality, the song was produced by Hello! Project’s renowned producer Tsunku♂.
Upon its May 2010 release, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon charts and went on to win the Best New Artist Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.
It’s a perfect track for those who want to relive the sweet-and-sour memories of youth or empathize with a down-to-earth teenage girl’s feelings of love.

Like a ghostSatō Naiko
A gentle yet somewhat wistful melody line resonates with the heart.
Noko Sato skillfully harnesses Yuki Kaai’s translucent vocals, crafting a track sprinkled with urban, electronica elements.
Recommended for strolling through the city at night or for moments of solitary contemplation.
This floaty Vocaloid piece will stay close to your heart.
Please take your time and listen closely.
Brave RaideenShimon Masato
Set to a march-like midtempo that lifts the spirit, the song—paired with Masato Shimon’s expansive vocals—feels as if it portrays a radiant guardian of the skies soaring through the light.
Its friendly, accessible melody, beloved by children and adults alike, vividly depicts a righteous hero’s bravery, infused with a sense of duty to protect peace and a steadfast resolve to carry the hopes of the people.
Broadcast as the opening theme for a robot anime that began in April 1975, it earned high acclaim as a masterpiece that perfectly captured the show’s worldview.
In November 1980, a soundtrack album was released by Nippon Columbia, and it continues to captivate many fans.
It’s a track that, when played during your morning commute to work or school, makes you feel like the protagonist yourself and gives you the courage to face a brand-new day.
snow-cappedTeresa Ten
Although Teresa Teng is often associated with moody numbers and pop songs adorned with catchy melodies, she also has some tracks that resemble enka.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Yuki-Gesho (“Snow Makeup”).
Melodically, it is pure enka, but the kobushi—ornamental vocal turns characteristic of enka—appear only in the chorus, and even then they are relatively easy.
The vocal range is narrow and the tempo is relaxed, making it undeniably an easy song to sing.
LullabyNatsukawa Rimi
It’s a celebrated song that conveys the feeling of gently watching over a baby, with a tender, lullaby-like atmosphere.
The chirping of canaries, the rustling of berries, and moonlit scenes are woven in, expanding a warm world that envelops a beloved child in harmony with nature.
Released in February 2011 as Rimi Natsukawa’s first song after becoming a mother, it was also included on the album “Nuchigusui Mimigusui.” It’s a perfect piece for moments of celebrating a new life and feeling deep love for one’s child.
Snow falls thick and deep.Fuji Ayako
Fujii Ayako’s single “Yuki Shinfuka,” released in 1998, is a celebrated song also known for marking lyricist Ishimoto Miyuki’s first collaboration with her in 11 years, since “Futarigawa,” an early-career track she released under the name Manami Murase, alongside the same-year release “Hakkōbana.” Its dramatic production—blending traditional Japanese instruments such as shamisen and shakuhachi with flowing strings to create a grand atmosphere—is striking, and Fujii’s dignified, commanding vocals make it one of her signature songs.
It’s also a karaoke favorite, though the song spans a wide vocal range and features frequent, busy pitch movements, which may feel challenging for beginners.
That said, the tempo is relaxed, and there are opportunities to breathe before the high notes and long tones, so take your time without rushing.
In the chorus, try singing with the feeling of unleashing pent-up emotion, delivering it powerfully!
