Hey…Noriyuki Makihara
I think it’s pretty rare for the word “die” to appear so straightforwardly in a song.
Many people probably assume that songs dealing with life and death are, as expected, dark and heavy.
But Makihara Noriyuki—better known as Makki—created an outlier with his song “Hey…”.
He sets a theme that tends to feel somber to a bright, up-tempo melody that nudges you toward a more positive outlook.
Even the title “Hey…” carries a bittersweet lightness, as if casually calling out to someone who has passed away.
It’s a song that makes the image of someone trying to hold back their tears—“I won’t cry”—feel all the more lonely.
HEVENAyumi Hamasaki
It was released in 2005 as Ayumi Hamasaki’s 37th single.
The song was used as the theme for the Shochiku-distributed film “SHINOBI: Heart Under Blade” and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It also became her second million-download hit as a chaku-uta (mobile ringtone).
Among Ayumi Hamasaki’s songs, it is relatively easy to sing in terms of key.

Help me help me help meRyuji Kiyoshi
The second single released in 2009 has been arranged into a piano ballad.
It’s recommended for those who, for reasons unknown, find life a bit hard, or who are sometimes overwhelmed by vague anxieties.
It’s a masterpiece that faces those hazy feelings head-on.
Heaven DopeBoiled Fruits
I’m overwhelmed by the artistic soundscape that projects a cruel, hopeless world.
The track is by Vocaloid producer Nirukajitsu and was released in August 2022.
It’s the second chapter of the creative project “Creation: Heaven and Hell,” which is expressed through both music and visuals.
The unpredictable development and sense of narrative give it a tense impression.
But toward the latter half, rhythmic phrases multiply, and before you know it, you’ll be nodding along.
If you’re hooked, be sure to check out Chapter One, “Tricolage,” too!
HEY!Rina Katahira
Rina Katahira is a singer-songwriter who made headlines as the first Japanese woman to become an officially endorsed artist of Epiphone, the globally renowned guitar brand.
The title track of her ninth single, “HEY! Darling EP,” titled “HEY!,” has a pop sensibility that makes you want to sing along from the opening phrase.
Its positive lyrics, which give you the courage to take a step forward, may soothe a weary heart at the end of the day.
It’s an emotional number with a comfortably laid-back shuffle beat.

Takashi Ikuta, the vocalist of the five-member rock band PENGUIN RESEARCH, is from Kochi Prefecture.
He started playing the guitar in his third year of junior high school and soon began performing in bands.
At 24, he moved to Tokyo and, together with bassist Shota Horie, formed PENGUIN RESEARCH.

Heisei Dawn GALChiaki Mayumura
Chiaki Mayumura is a female singer-songwriter who’s gained popularity for her distinctive musical style.
Her new track, Heisei Reimei GAL, is put together with a different feel from her previous work.
In particular, the phrase leading into the chorus features a rap-like delivery, showing the breadth of her musical range.
That said, it’s by no means a gimmick track; it’s ultimately a catchy, breezy J-pop song.
How about giving it a listen as springtime driving music?
