On a full-moon nightAimyon
A captivating song with a melancholic melody and sensual lyrics that resonate on a full-moon night.
It’s Aimyon’s fourth single, released in February 2019.
Set to the pleasant rhythm of an acoustic guitar, it delicately portrays the deepening bond between two people.
Its friendly, memorable phrases spark the listener’s imagination.
It’s perfect for sinking into on long autumn nights, and we recommend listening while thinking of someone special.
If you sing it at karaoke, try conveying the song’s world by putting your emotions into the lyrics.
Promise in Madder RedIkimonogakari
A gentle song whose warm melody seems to embrace the lonely autumn alongside the setting sun.
Guitarist Yoshiki Mizuno created it with the theme of a wedding.
Although the word “farewell” is used—something not usually preferred at weddings—here it does not mean separation, but parting by death.
From marriage until the day when death inevitably comes someday.
It feels like a song imbued with the wish to spend that time together, holding close the promise of that day when the madder‑red sky was so beautiful.
Night of OsmanthusMushroom Empire
A classic that colors the long autumn nights.
Drawn by the fragrance of osmanthus, it portrays memories of a faint romance resurfacing.
Showcasing Kinoko Teikoku’s distinctive world, this piece was included on the album “Time Lapse,” released in September 2018.
It’s the perfect song for an autumn evening, wrapped in the scent of osmanthus as you look back on a past love.
Sing it at karaoke, and it’s sure to become an unforgettable page in your memories.
Highly recommended for those who want to bask in a nostalgic mood.
Autumn Full StopAlice
Released as Alice’s 17th single, it was used as background music in the “15-Year-Old Mother” episode of the first season of the drama ‘Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B.
’ The lyrics describe drawing a line under a romantic relationship, and the title plays on the double meaning of “autumn” and “final punctuation.” Have you ever had a love you ended in autumn?

Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi
A rough-and-tumble Elekashi track set against a beautiful moon! This exquisite combo is the best! It was used as the theme song for Makiko Esumi’s starring drama, “Because the Moon Shines at Night.” It’s filled with the resolve: I won’t be outshone by tonight’s beautiful moon—I’ll shine again tomorrow! It’s the perfect song to look up at the lovely moon, pump yourself up, and say, “All right, let’s do this!”
Signs of autumnOf course
Akino Keshiki (Signs of Autumn) is a song by Off Course, written and composed by Kazumasa Oda.
Oda later called the man in the lyrics a “cold guy,” but to me the song feels like a bittersweet end to a romance, as if he had no choice but to part with the woman.
The lonely melody perfectly matches the autumn scenery.
It’s a fan favorite, so it’s one you’ll definitely want to sing at karaoke in the fall!
fragrant oliveOrange Spiny Club
A signature song by the four-piece band Orange Spiny Club, it became a massive hit after catching on via TikTok and other platforms.
The lyrics compare the woman he loves to fragrant osmanthus, an autumn tradition in Japan, conveying a straightforward and profound affection.
With emotional imagery that really moves listeners—like framing autumn as the end of summer or singing about the scent of osmanthus—it truly resonates.
Don’t you think songs that stir the heart like this are perfect for autumn? Another secret to its approachable charm is that the lyrics are written in familiar, conversational language.
