Songs with titles starting with “Na.” A hint for shiritori! (61–70)
for a long timeKiroro
This is the major-label debut song by Kiroro, a duo from Okinawa, whose warm and gentle vocals resonate in the heart.
The simple, airy singing of vocalist Chiharu Tamashiro blends beautifully with the piano melodies played by Ayano Kinjo, gently enveloping the listener.
The song straightforwardly captures, in unadorned words, the steadfast feelings of a protagonist who waits devotedly for the one they love and the joy when that love finally blossoms.
Upon its release in January 1998, its popularity spread by word of mouth, and it became a million seller with total sales exceeding 1.
2 million copies.
It’s a song to listen to quietly on nights when you want to reaffirm the tenderness you feel for someone dear.
ninelieAimer with chelly (EGOIST)
A grand track where Aimer and EGOIST’s chelly weave a miraculous harmony with their voices.
Even in a world full of falsehoods, it moves you to believe that the bond with someone important is the one true thing.
Fans have praised it with comments like, “Their voices are so beautiful it gave me goosebumps,” and “A song that finds light amid despair.” Released in May 2016 as the single “ninelie EP,” it colored the story as the ending theme of the anime Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.
When you need the courage to face hardship, doesn’t listening to this song make you feel like you can step forward into the future together with someone you cherish?
numberdysentery
This track packs a huge punch with its punkish sound and razor-sharp lyrics.
Their debut EP, “Shigella,” was released independently in 1985, and the raw sound distills the primal energy of the members, who were still in high school at the time.
It feels like the atmosphere and vibe of Osaka back then have been sealed into it as-is.
It’s rock that hits you square in the skull—a lasting scar on the Japanese band scene.
Life is like a Naniwa-bushi (a melodramatic ballad).Takashi Hosokawa
After training under Michiya Mihashi, Takashi Hosokawa showed an explosive improvement in his vocal ability.
Even after his vocals improved, he continued to release many tracks that emphasize catchiness.
Among them, Naniwabushi Dayo Jinsei wa is one of his most singable songs.
Aside from the kobushi at the end of the chorus, the song features only minimal melismatic turns that mostly move by a single note, and despite a BPM of 128, there are no rapid-fire sections, resulting in an overall low level of difficulty.
The range is fairly wide, so be sure to find the key that suits you before singing.
Lost itemTatsuya Kitani
Tatsuya Kitani is a male singer-songwriter who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
If you’re a junior high school student, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard his songs at least once.
His new track, “Nakushimono,” features a bouncy, neo-soul-leaning, black-inflected groove, but shifts into orthodox J-pop when it hits the chorus.
There’s a falsetto part right before the chorus, and if you find that section difficult, I recommend adjusting the key so you can sing it in mix voice.
I couldn’t fully become it.kyiku
This piece portrays the painfully honest cries of a heart struggling to become its ideal self.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kyiku and released in August 2025, it presents a dim, haunting world centered on the theme of “failed eclosion,” leaving a deep impression.
As the creator says they “wrote as honestly as possible,” the lyrics lay bare a soliloquy-like wavering of emotion, and the trembling sound design draws listeners into deep introspection.
On nights when you’re sunk in a helplessness you can’t shake, when you want to immerse yourself in music alone, this work is sure to stay close to you.
ShipwreckAkina Nakamori
This song was written and composed by Tokiko Kato and provided to Akina Nakamori.
Released in 1987 as her 19th single, the cover came to fruition because Kato herself ardently wished for Nakamori to sing it.
It likens a heart that has lost love and has nowhere to go to a ship stranded by a storm.
For those who have gone through the profound parting of divorce and feel their hearts on the verge of breaking from an unbearable loneliness, the depth of this sorrow will resonate painfully.
It stays close on nights when you don’t want to put on a brave face and instead want to confront your feelings head-on.
Perhaps shedding tears while listening to this song will make your heart feel just a little lighter.
