That’s not fair…arekunn

That’s not fair...arekunn

Are-kun’s song, which beautifully portrays aching love and suffering, has deeply moved many listeners.

While harboring intense feelings for the other person, the work delicately weaves the complex emotions of a woman swayed by ambiguous behavior.

Released in August 2021 as an advance track from the album “Breath,” it was also chosen as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “BREAKOUT” in September, allowing it to resonate with an even wider audience.

Confused and hurt by the other person’s vague kindness, yet unable to suppress her feelings—this piece offers heartfelt empathy and comfort to anyone who bears the pain of an unrequited love.

Yura Yura Teikoku is a band that earned overwhelming support from hardcore music enthusiasts for their sophisticated musicality.

For anyone who loves Japanese rock, you simply can’t talk about the genre without mentioning them.

Among their many great songs, the one I especially recommend to men in their 40s as an easy one to sing is Zukku ni Rock.

It might sound a bit intense, but the vocal range isn’t that wide.

Even if you sing it a bit rough, it still sounds right—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

We’ll always be together.Yamashita Tatsuro

When we think of weddings, we think of a new beginning for two people—a day when they vow to walk through life together.

This song by Tatsuro Yamashita feels like a blessing for their departure on that journey.

Built around a gentle, piano-centered sound that gradually brings in more instruments, it gives the sense of emotions growing fuller and brighter.

The lyrics, like a vow, are memorable too—expressing the reassurance of having found a partner and the hope that happiness will continue.

While it’s a song that reflects the feelings of the bride and groom, it might also be wonderful to gift it to them so they can feel that happiness even more.

Kenji Sawada - The Good-for-Nothing I Can't Bring Myself to Hate
An incorrigible good-for-nothing you just can’t hatesawada kenji

Kenji Sawada’s remarkable success after the breakup of The Tigers is a noteworthy event that deserves a place in the history of Showa-era entertainment.

It felt like there wasn’t a single day when you didn’t see him—not just singing, but also on variety shows and in commercials.

The scene in a drama where Kirin Kiki cries out “Julie” and swoons would be, in today’s terms, worthy of a Buzzword of the Year Award, wouldn’t it? This song, with lyrics by Yuu Aku, also fully draws out the masculine allure that Kenji Sawada possesses, and I bet many people in their 50s would say, “I like the Julie from this song.” The image of a man who drifts from place to place, having a woman in every town—a “somewhat sloppy-with-women” type—may have appealed to the public as well.

It’s a song that makes you want to listen while reminiscing about a more forgiving era than today.

Zutto…Hamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / Zutto… (ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2014-2015 A Cirque de Minuit)
Zutto...Hamasaki Ayumi

This song is Ayumi Hamasaki’s 53rd single CD, released in 2014.

It peaked at No.

5 on the Oricon CD chart.

A winter love ballad in which Hamasaki sings candidly about her feelings for someone she loves, it’s a perfect song for Christmas and highly recommended.

ZOO ~Please Give Me Love~Kanno Miho

Aiwo Kudasai (“Zoo” by Miho Kanno) Miho Kanno
ZOO ~Please Give Me Love~Kanno Miho

The theme song for the 2000 drama “Ai o Kudasai” is “ZOO ~Ai o Kudasai~.” Miho Kanno, the drama’s lead actress, released the song under her character’s name.

Although Miho Kanno had been active as a singer since 1995, she hasn’t released anything since this song.

Her singing voice is straightforward and full-bodied, and listening to it feels cleansing.

Today, she’s known as one of the most enduring actresses.

Perhaps many people didn’t even know she used to sing? Please give it a listen.
