Hedwig’s ThemeJohn Williams
It’s one of the most famous pieces from the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
I’m recommending this one for Halloween as well.
It has a slightly mysterious yet exciting feel, perfectly suited to wizards.
It’s also fun to hear the different timbres of various instruments in the orchestra.
On these long autumn nights, how about a group quiz to guess the instruments?

hello goodbye daysSISTER JET
A three-piece rock band formed by members living in Fussa, Tokyo.
They are devoted to love songs, and their appeal lies in tracks that set the universal feelings unique to adolescence to pop, catchy sounds and melodies.
Their uplifting live shows are not to be missed.
Hey hey, thanks a bunch—much appreciated!SMAP
This is the 12th single released in 1994 by SMAP, a nationally beloved idol group whose breakup is still lamented today.
The song was created with the image of a “merchant from Naniwa” and is entirely in the Kansai dialect.
All the members of SMAP are actually from the Kanto region, so I wonder why they ended up singing this song (lol).
Heisei IdealismElephant Kashimashi
Included on the album “Kaze,” released on September 29, 2004.
As the opening track, it makes a powerful impact.
Although it’s a long piece running over nine minutes, it is also performed live.
The song’s development is skillful, making dynamic use of tempo and intensity, and despite its length it never bores the listener.
Healthy BobMaximum the Hormone
The second title with “Bob” in the name—known among Hara-Peko fans as part of the “Bob Series”—is Healthy Bob, the sequel to the previous Abara Bob.
It’s included on the 2004 album Crap Record.
Though the track charges forward with an aggressive feel, it’s actually a song about dieting.
The lyrics come off like someone who’s health-conscious and restricting their meals.
Listening to it might make you think you should go on a diet, too!
heronTatsuro Yamashita
When it comes to music that blends seamlessly into various Japanese situations, Tatsuro Yamashita comes to mind.
“Heron,” meaning great blue heron, is his 30th single, released in 1998, and it seems it was used as the song for a Kirin Lager Beer commercial around the time of the Nagano Winter Olympics.
While it doesn’t explicitly mention winter, its atmosphere of heading toward dawn and its rhythmic groove feel like a perfect match for the refreshing lift you want from winter sports.
It has that comfortable quality that would slip right in even if it started playing as background music on the ski slopes.
Unchanging ThingsTomoko Yamazaki
Omoi de ga Ippai, which was used as the theme song for the anime Miyuki depicting youthful romance, was released by the music duo H2O in 1983, a group that gained attention for their twin-vocal sound.
The song portrays a young woman embarking on a new chapter, and its lyrics—evoking scenes set in schools like classrooms and hallways—resonate deeply.
Set to a melody line that conveys both beauty and bittersweetness, it’s a piece that sings of youth.
Dividing parts into lead vocal, harmony, and chorus delivers an even richer sound.
Be sure to try singing this graduation song that lets you keep precious memories in your heart.
