Crazy SummerKIRINJI
It’s a late-summer classic by KIRINJI.
The track appears on the EP “Sweet Soul ep,” released in March 2003, and is distinguished by Yasuyuki Horigome’s soft, translucent vocals—he also wrote the lyrics and composed the music.
If you listen to it on a sentimental night when you’re thinking of someone you can’t forget, it just might bring back the air of that day, still warm with heat.
It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone who has experienced an unforgettable, passionate love.
CLOCK STRIKES TENLADIES ROOM
Known for their extreme performances and provocative lyrics, LADIES ROOM pack this work with a bittersweet yet glamorous allure.
Opening with beautiful arpeggios, the song seems to capture that fleeting rush and faint loneliness just before the party ends.
The unique mood that comes right as the clock hands advance and the magic is about to fade resonates in a catchy hard-rock sound.
This track was LADIES ROOM’s major-label debut single, released in May 1991, and is also included on the album Made in SEX.
Their momentum is evident from the fact that in 1993 they topped the charts with a live video release.
It’s a song that stays close to your heart when you want to linger in the afterglow of a glittering night.

Can I come see you by cream?I wish it could stay midnight forever.
The artist known as the “night-loving” Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
(Zutomayo) is a band characterized by vocalist ACA-ne’s soft, high tones.
Many of Zutomayo’s songs are stylish, so I imagine a lot of women feel like giving them a try.
If you sing them, aim to keep a relaxed feel overall without belting, and since the rhythms can be tricky, try singing with a lightly swung vibe.
In the chorus, there are parts with lots of words and some wide interval jumps, so don’t force it—keep it light in ACA-ne’s style.
Climax NightYogee New Waves
This is a Yogee New Waves track whose urban, mellow sound seeps into the heart.
The song feels like a snapshot of the most dazzling night of a love you know you can’t return to.
Rather than sinking into the sorrow of parting, it seems to trace a sweet, bittersweet feeling—like gently holding those glittering memories to your chest.
The image of “the end of a fun night also being the end of the two’s relationship” is heart-wrenching.
Released in April 2014 as the title track of an EP, it was later included on their first album, PARAISO, in September of the same year.
On a quiet night alone, when you want to look back on a past love as a beautiful memory, this song will be there to gently keep you company.
Huge-ass★Audience-rGYARI
An encouragement song brimming with passion, delivered on a cosmic scale.
Known for his humorous style, the Vocaloid producer GYARI released this piece in August 2025, featuring vocals by Natsuiro Karin and Koharu Rikka.
Its charm lies in a grand rock sound that feels like it could reach the edge of the galaxy, a straightforward message that wholeheartedly affirms each listener’s personal story, and the relentless barrage of call-and-response interjections.
When you’re ready to take on a challenge or need to fire yourself up, this track will give you maximum-power energy!
Cry On Your SmileToshinobu Kubota
This is a renowned ballad that tenderly yet poignantly captures the feelings of seeing a loved one off as they set out toward their dreams.
Released in October 1987, it became a milestone as the artist’s first entry into the Oricon Top 10.
Built on an R&B foundation, its beautiful melody is paired with lyrics filled with such deep affection that you find yourself in tears even within the other person’s smile—listening makes your chest tighten.
The emotionally overflowing ad-libbed outro is breathtaking, conveying irrepressible feelings that bring tears to your eyes.
Chosen as the theme song for the Toho film “Kamitsukitai,” it’s also included on the best-of album “the BADDEST.” When you listen to it as you cheer on someone dear at the start of a new chapter, it feels like a gentle push on the back.
Where the clouds goTetsuya Takeda
It’s a song with lyrics written by Tetsuya Takeda himself, one that gently stays close to the listener’s heart.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds, released in March 1992.
The story, which features the series’ first-ever development in which Doraemon breaks down, is movingly colored by this piece.
The lyrical guitar melody resonates deeply, conveying a warm message that feels like it’s comforting someone who’s been hurt.
The worldview of the lyrics—quietly layering one’s thoughts onto the clouds drifting across the sky—truly shows Takeda’s touch.
When you’re feeling down, listening to it while looking up at the sky can feel like a gentle push on your back.
You can also hear it on albums such as Doraemon Movie Theme Song Collection: Kumo ga Yuku no wa.
