ultramarineAobouzu
A classic of Japanese rock by Aobozu, whose youthfully earnest, straight-ahead sound struck a chord with many listeners.
Its exhilarating sense of speed and tear-jerking melody feel like they’ll keep you company during those moments of autumn loneliness.
GoodbyeSakura Fujiwara
When you want to reset your mindset, I recommend “Goodbye” by singer-songwriter Sakura Fujiwara.
It’s included on her 2014 indie album “full bloom.” She wrote it around her high school graduation, and the lyrics—packed with feelings like anxiety and anticipation—gently resonate when you’re feeling down.
Her mature, richly nuanced voice is also wonderful.
We all have times when we lose our energy, but in those moments, this song’s “Goodbye” will surely give you the courage to take a step forward.
I think it will stay close to you as you make a new start.
Glorious WorldChouchou-P
A cool Vocaloid track that draws you in with its tense piano sound.
“Glorious World,” a work by Chouchou-P—also known under the singer-songwriter name Yuu Ichinose—was released in 2011.
It served as the title track of the album Glorious World released the same year.
The song is notable for its dramatic and fast-paced development.
The way the rhythm work and piano phrases come at you is electrifying.
The passionate lyrics about finding the meaning of life are another major appeal.
GULLIVER (feat. Friend)Satomi Shigemori
Satomi Shigemori, also known as a talent and YouTuber, has also released a must-hear track: “GULLIVER (feat.
Friends).” It’s crafted as a cool, R&B-style song.
The lyrics call out people who brag about themselves or try to drag others down.
That said, it feels more gentle than aggressive, making it a good fit for relaxing.
It’s also packed with highlights, from the tight internal rhymes to the uniquely inflected melodies.
Good luckGoro Noguchi
Goro Noguchi is a singer from Gifu Prefecture.
His song “Good Luck,” released in 1978 (Showa 53), is an enka-pop tune with a charmingly sweet atmosphere.
It opens with an intro where urban-tinged guitar, bass, and synthesizer phrases interlace, and Noguchi’s refined vocal delivery gives it an even more modern feel.
Although it’s a song from the ’70s, it has a stylish quality that also connects to today’s J-pop.
The performance by the band is full of thoughtful details—like the guitar phrase that comes in from the right channel in the second verse’s A-melody—making this track especially rewarding to listen to.
round and roundZen of the Wild Fox
The folk duo Yakozen, made up of Pistol Takehara and Hirochika Hamano, disbanded in 2009.
Their song “Guruguru” was released in 2004 as their sixth single.
There are times in everyone’s life when nothing goes right and you’re forced to face yourself.
Who am I? What am I living for? What am I capable of? This song accompanies those feelings of going around in circles with such questions.
There’s also a version sung solo by Pistol Takehara.

Green SleevesMasayuki Takayanagi
Masayuki Takayanagi—a guitarist and avant-garde musician—is an indispensable figure in the history of Japanese jazz and, by extension, free jazz.
He turned professional at the young age of 19, and through the activities of the music collective New Century Music Research Institute, which was based at the Ginza chanson café Ginpari, he helped bring talents like Yosuke Yamashita and Terumasa Hino to wider recognition.
The Ginpari Session discussed here is a rare and valuable recording that captures a masterful performance by Takayanagi, whose highly challenging musical style has earned respect from cutting-edge international musicians such as Jim O’Rourke.
The session took place from late at night on June 26, 1963 into the early morning of the following day, but it was apparently never intended for release as an audio recording.
It was taped privately by a member of the audience and, intriguingly, was only issued as a record nearly a decade later in 1972.
In the 1960s, jazz was experiencing a boom in so-called hard bop, or funky jazz, and knowing that musical experiments like this were happening in the background is essential for anyone looking to dig deeper into Wa-jazz (Japanese jazz).
I recommend this album especially to listeners who have already explored a range of jazz styles.
