NagisaSpitz
When the summer heat subsides and a hint of autumn rides on the breeze, it makes you feel a bit sentimental, doesn’t it? Gentle and resonant against that late-summer melancholy is a number by Spitz.
Contrary to its sparkling, refreshing sound, it depicts a profoundly layered world where reality and fantasy intertwine.
The ache of clutching warped memories and yearning for someone you can only meet in a mirage overlaps with the loneliness of the passing season, sinking deep into your heart.
Released in September 1996, this song is also included on the album “Indigo Chiheisen.” It became well-loved as the CM song for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Love Story.” It’s a track you’ll want to savor alone, lost in your summer memories.
I've been waiting for a long time.Humbert Humbert
This song, performed by Humbert Humbert, a husband-and-wife music duo, captures the trembling thrill and taut excitement of the moment when a long-awaited dream finally comes true.
With a dreamy, almost unreal joy, it’s portrayed over a warm, country-tinged sound.
The lively fiddle tones are especially memorable.
The track was included on their August 2006 album The Road Goes On.
It was later re-recorded with a more familiar, approachable arrangement for FOLK, their 2016 album celebrating the 15th anniversary of their debut.
Don't cry.Masaharu Fukuyama
It’s a ballad that gently stays close to a heart sunk in sorrow and kindles a warm light.
Released in December 2004 as Masaharu Fukuyama’s 19th single, it was used as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Wakaba.
It expresses the drama’s theme of “rebirth,” portraying a kindness that doesn’t force those who have endured painful experiences to cheer up, but instead simply remains quietly by their side.
The tone of the acoustic guitar—so complete that it astonished the arranger—further enhances that warmth.
Its melody, which seems to affirm you just as you are, will surely give you a small courage to start walking forward again.
A bittersweet episodeMotohiro Hata
A heartwarming song that gently accompanies everyday life, chosen as the theme for the NHK morning drama series Ochoyan.
Written by Motohiro Hata, it was released in January 2021 as his 24th single.
You can’t help but see yourself in the protagonist who overcomes any adversity with a smile.
The lyrics convey an indomitable spirit—never getting up empty-handed after a fall—and the everyday warmth of “it’ll be okay if your stomach growls,” all expressed through Hata’s gentle yet powerful vocals.
Listening to this track somehow fills you with optimism; many listeners surely feel the same.
When you’re ready to take a new step or your heart feels a little tired, this song will quietly give you a supportive push.

Moonlight into the interiorKenso
Kenso forges its own path with a sound that fuses virtuosic ensemble playing and distinctly Japanese lyricism.
The classic track from their December 1982 release, KENSO II, paints a deeply introspective world—like moonlight quietly illuminating the inner reaches of the heart.
Lyrics penned by Yoshio Shimizu himself can be read as a philosophical message that invites dialogue with the self.
Meticulously structured melodies and developments cast a dramatic light on that journey of reflection.
Transcending eras, the anecdote that an American rapper was eager to sample the piece attests to its universal appeal.
It’s a song best heard on a pensive, quiet night—perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in a world of sound.
