stick figureRADWIMPS
A song marked by a delicate, profound lyrical world that feels like peering into the human heart.
While pursuing what it means to be human, it carefully portrays emotions that seem on the verge of losing oneself.
Featured on the album “Ningen Kaika,” the track achieves a beautiful harmony between RADWIMPS’ distinctive philosophical perspective and a simple yet resonant melody.
It was also used as the theme song for NTV’s 2017 spring drama “Frankenstein’s Love,” vividly coloring the show’s world.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you want to reexamine your own worth and the meaning of life, or when you long to be understood by someone.
Mother-longing SakeKohei Fukuda
This song, included as a coupling track on the special edition of the 2018 hit classic “Tenryū Nagashi,” drew attention for being newly written by Ikuzo Yoshi.
Titled “Hahakoi-zake,” it’s a masterpiece that showcases Kohei Fukuda’s outstanding vocal ability as he brilliantly delivers a melody steeped in Yoshi’s signature style.
That said, the melodic development—sustained long tones that shift from the mid range to the high range—is honestly challenging.
On the flip side, if you’re accustomed to singing melodies composed by Ikuzo Yoshi, you shouldn’t find it confusing, and since the song’s tempo is on the slower side, there are reasonably good moments to take proper breaths.
Savor your feelings for your mother and sing it with all your heart.
Why not me?Saki Misaka
This song by Saki Misaka portrays the bittersweet feelings of gradually falling in love, even though you thought you were content just staying close as a friend.

Released digitally in February 2021, the track was also chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s romantic reality show “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita.” It’s sure to resonate with those who, despite knowing what would bring happiness, can’t let go, and who sense the other person’s feelings yet can’t bring themselves to speak up.

Released in 2021 as a double A-side with Tatsumi Yuto’s fourth single, “Sasowarete Eden,” this song, “Bokyo,” comes from an artist who’s bringing a fresh breeze to the enka world as part of the seventh generation.
It’s a classic enka piece where Tatsumi’s tender, heartfelt vocals convey deep feelings for one’s hometown and family, moving listeners to the core.
While he firmly incorporates enka-specific techniques like kobushi and vibrato, his clean, unornamented delivery and the accessible melody make it approachable even for beginners to the genre.
The overall pitch is on the lower side, so it’s also recommended for those who struggle with high notes.
