Songs with titles that start with 'Na'. A hint for shiritori! (71–80)
Mother of NaniwaAyako Natsuki
From mother to daughter, this is a soul-stirring anthem passed down through generations.
Released in July 1993, Ayako Natsuki’s debut sold around 200,000 copies and won the Diamond Hit Award.
A mother who, despite poverty, steadfastly raised her daughter—her powerful lessons and deep love are sung over an emotionally rich melody.
You can almost picture the protagonist savoring her mother’s words, and as you listen, you may find yourself thinking of your own family and feeling a swell of emotion.
Included as well on the 25th-anniversary edition “Yukimai Zakura / Naniwa no Haha ~25th Anniversary Version~,” this song continues to be cherished today.
It’s the kind of piece that suddenly makes you long for the face of a loved one waiting back home.
Nameless PoemMr.Children
Mr.
Children’s fifth album, Deep Sea, released in 1996 and a massive hit with total sales exceeding 2.
7 million copies, is a shocking concept album that overturned the band’s image.
While it includes hits like “Nameless Poem” and “Flower -Mémento-Mori-,” the overarching tone is a dark, weighty world that engulfs the listener.
Kazutoshi Sakurai’s word choices, which seem to gouge at his inner self, merge with progressive sonics to vividly portray human loneliness and nihilism.
It’s the perfect record for those who want to experience the band’s artistry beyond pure pop, or to immerse themselves in music that unfolds like a single story.

A, a leading figure in Japan’s breakcore scene, released his debut album “Dream And Hope” in 2001.
A torrent of noisy, rough-hewn beats collides at breakneck speed with sudden flashes of beautiful melody—that’s the defining feature of this record.
Its sound throws dreams and hope together with delusions and malice, like an utterly unpredictable roller coaster.
Addictive and widely beloved for the gap between its ferocity and pop sensibility, this is an album many find themselves hooked on.
Despite its title, the chaotic worldview offers new discoveries with every listen, letting you fully revel in a vortex of sound that seems to shake your brain directly.
Be Nankuru-kunBEGIN
BEGIN captivates with a warm yet powerful sound that only three musicians from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa could create.
This piece, which closes their first masterful album in seven years, Taiyo (The Sun), is a song that deeply evokes the spirit of the island songs at their roots.
The Okinawan phrase “nankuru nai sa,” which carries the profound meaning, “If you keep doing the right thing without losing heart, a good day will come,” resonates gently through the melody.
Even as we are buffeted by the waves of life and bear the sorrow of losing what we hold dear, these lyrics softly encourage us to keep facing forward, warming the heart as they do.
When your heart feels a little tired, why not let yourself be wrapped in the kindness this song offers?
Summer is comingMaki Ohguro
Set to passionate Latin rhythms, this Maki Ohguro number portrays the rising anticipation that comes with summer and the impatience hidden deep in the heart.

The timbales-driven beat dramatizes those complex emotions.
Released in April 1994 as her eighth single, it was chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s music program “COUNT DOWN TV” and is also included on the classic album “Eien no Yume ni Mukatte.” For anyone who wants to shine in their own way, this song might just give you the powerful push you need.
