An energetic band sound and powerful vocals resonate in your chest in this hope-filled anthem.

It features a lively rhythm and flowing melodies rooted in rock and pop.

The lyrics poetically depict wishes for enduring love and scenes where past memories intersect with present emotions.

Distinctive vocabulary and metaphors are woven throughout, revealing something new with every listen.

The single “Zutto Zutto,” released in December 2025, is a love ballad written for the film Romantic Killer.

Its medium-slow tempo sound, woven from piano arpeggios and delicate strings, is layered with twin vocals by Yusei Yagi and Sota Nakajima, vividly expressing a heartrending longing.

The lyrics carefully depict the frustration of being unable to confess one’s feelings and the inner struggle of being unable to take that final step, evoking the bittersweetness of unrequited love.

It’s a pure love song that gently seeps into the heart.

A heartwarming ballad that sings of deep love for a long-time partner.

Performed by Motohiro Hata, this piece delicately portrays how feelings for someone precious grow richer and more vivid over time.

Affection so great that no number of rewrites can fully convey it—like a love letter that’s never quite finished.

Each listen wraps you in a gentle warmth, as if your feelings for the other person are renewed again and again.

Written as the theme song for the film “The 35th-Year Love Letter,” releasing in March 2025, it’s perfect for those moments when putting feelings into words feels a bit embarrassing, yet you still want to express your gratitude and love—and need a little nudge to do so.

They’re someone who says they “love” me, but I know their heart isn’t here.

Even so, I can’t walk away, because those moments when they say it are the only ones that save me.

Wataru Ochiai’s 2021 release sings from the perspective of a woman sinking into a relationship so ambiguous it can’t even be labeled “more than friends, less than lovers,” moving between blaming the other person and loathing herself.

A phone placed face down as they leave; me almost grabbing their arm, then seeing them off with a smile—tiny details of daily life lay bare the reality that I’m not the one.

The simple arrangement, built around acoustic guitar and keys, is chosen to make the words stand out.

Precisely because the vocal delivery is calm and understated, the pain lands with raw immediacy.

After its 2021 release, the song charted in countries around the world, including Thailand, Laos, and Ireland.

The music video features actors Mizuki and Kento Hotta, and is approaching 900,000 views.

For anyone who knows the feeling of “a love you want to end but can’t,” this is a song that will gently stay by your side.

This song, based on a true story, expresses the poignant inability to let go of feelings for someone you once loved.

It’s a work by TETORA, a three-piece band from Osaka.

The track was included as the B-side of the Tower Records–exclusive single “East Hills” released in April 2019, and later featured on the album “From a Corner of the Classroom” in June of the same year.

Over a simple 8-beat, medium-tempo arrangement, vocalist Sayaka Ueno’s husky, restrained delivery brings a tightening ache to the chest.

It’s sure to resonate deeply with those suffering from unrequited love or still struggling to move on after parting with someone important.

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who enjoys overwhelming support from young listeners.

While he has many catchy songs, he also has some technically demanding ones.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Zuutto Issho! This piece requires a wide vocal range from mid1 A# to high A, with quite dramatic pitch movement up and down.

That alone makes it difficult, but it also has few breathing points and many rapid-fire phrases, so in addition to pitch control, strong lung capacity is needed.

It’s a song that demands comprehensive vocal ability, so definitely give it a try.

For those looking for a song that soothes the heart, “ZOO” is a perfect fit.

It’s a track included on Vocaloid producer Nirukajitsu’s album “FRUITÁGE.” The song portrays a protagonist and their partner who keep their kindness even in a harsh world.

The way it surges into the chorus is exhilarating.

There are plenty of other highlights too, such as the beautiful imagery and the development at the end.

Be sure to enjoy it together with the music video, which lets you experience the story visually.
