Songs with titles that start with 'Na'. A hint for shiritori! (71–80)
Tears Flowing EndlesslyRimi Natsukawa
This is a signature song by Rimi Natsukawa, whose title in the Okinawan dialect means “tears falling in drops.” The lyricist’s personal feelings for a brother who passed away at a young age may resonate with listeners’ own memories of someone dear to them.
Woven by Natsukawa’s crystal-clear voice, the yearning for someone you can no longer meet evokes the profound sorrow of people torn apart by the tragedies of war and reminds us of the preciousness of peace.
Originally written in 1998 for Ryoko Moriyama, the song became a major hit with Natsukawa’s 2001 cover, which stayed on the Oricon charts for 157 weeks.
In 2006, a film inspired by the song was also released.
Night TheaterHump Back
This is an outstanding rock ballad by Hump Back that portrays the loneliness brought by the night’s silence and the impatience of not quite being an adult.
The straightforward words and emotional vocals of singer-guitarist Momoko Hayashi seem to speak for those hazy, conflicted feelings unique to our youth.
The single containing this track, Dear Boy, released in June 2018, was also chosen as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s Buzz Rhythm 02, drawing attention at the time.
The down-to-earth lyrics, sung over a bittersweet, medium-tempo melody, gently sink into the listener’s heart.
On nights when everything feels like it’s going wrong and you’re feeling down, listening to this song might give you a quiet nudge to try just a little bit harder.
Nerd and AngelMEGA SHINNOSUKE
A nerdy protagonist lacking self-confidence throws his whole heart into his feelings for the person he likes, who shines like an angel—set to a propulsive, high-velocity folk-rock sound.
Released in July 2025 by multi-artist Mega Shinnosuke, the track was selected as the official theme song for Kyushu’s largest free live event, MUSIC CITY TENJIN 2025.
Behind the quirky line “I want to love you at a genetic level” lies a pure, awkward form of affection that’s irresistibly heart-fluttering.
If you’ve been unable to confess your feelings to your crush, this song just might give you the courage you need.
Night riderTaiga Kyomoto(SixTONES)
An urban track that pairs a cool, night-city rush of sound with Taiga Kyomoto’s delicate vocals.
His breath-infused singing seems to convey both the anxiety of nearly losing sight of your goal and the strong will to keep moving forward.
You can picture the protagonist pressing through the darkness in search of light, even while carrying loneliness.
The song is included on SixTONES’ single “Stargaze,” to be released in September 2025.
It’s perfect for a late-night drive with a glittering cityscape.
A Tearful RequestThe Checkers
The Checkers were an idol group that enjoyed immense popularity among women.
Because they were aimed at a slightly younger audience, they might not be a perfect fit for women in their 60s; still, many will have heard their songs often.
Among their tracks, Namida no Request is a particularly crowd-pleasing piece.
Although it’s categorized as a ballad, it isn’t subdued; rather, it features an upbeat melody.
The vocal range is somewhat broad at mid1 F# to high D#, but since the midrange is the focus, it’s exceptionally easy to sing.
Night MusicMrs. GREEN APPLE
With its very wide vocal range, Nachtmusik is a song my student—who loves Mrs.
GREEN APPLE—had been practicing for a long time.
They were originally good at falsetto, so they were thrilled, saying, “It’s gotten easier to use my chest voice, and my falsetto comes out more smoothly now!” I recommend it as a practice piece, too! First, about the range: it spans G#2 to G5, which is very wide, but the average pitch of the song is around F4 and it’s sung mostly in falsetto.
The range feels wider because there’s a section in the first verse’s A-melody that’s sung an octave lower.
Since breath control is crucial for this song, relax your body so you can use diaphragmatic breathing.
If your shoulders rise when you inhale, you’ll slip into everyday chest breathing and won’t be able to take in air as you intend.
Keep your shoulders relaxed at all times! And be sure to turn the air you inhale into actual singing when you exhale.
It has a beautiful tone, so please give it a try!
NAKAMAZedd feat. AI
A much-talked-about track born from a dream collaboration between a world-renowned producer and a powerhouse Japanese singer.
It serves as the ending theme for the anime Dragon Ball DAIMA.
Zedd’s gentle yet grand electronic sound blends beautifully with AI’s soulful vocals, resulting in a moving piece.
The lyrics, which sing of unshakable bonds with friends and hope for the future, warmly embrace the listener’s heart.
It’s the kind of song that will set your heart ablaze when you need the courage to take a step forward.
