Songs with titles that start with numbers: a reference for karaoke and playlist selection (1–10)
March 9NEW!Remioromen
A classic song for graduation season that continues to be loved, this Remioromen masterpiece was released in 2004.
It was originally created to celebrate a friend’s wedding, but its lyrics moved many listeners, and when it was used in the 2005 drama “1 Litre of Tears,” it began to be widely sung as a graduation chorus piece as well.
Warmly expressing memories to date and gratitude toward loved ones, it’s a song that brings tears just by listening.
It’s a deeply resonant track that gently accompanies graduation memory videos and farewell scenes with friends.
1000 daysNEW!No Murasaki
Singer-songwriter Noshi, a female artist known for her wide musical range—from comic-song style to classic pop.
Her track “1000 Days,” released in 2025, features moving lyrics that sing about the three years of high school.
The vocal range is slightly broad at mid1E to hiE, with the low notes being comparatively low for a women’s song, so there isn’t much room to lower the key.
However, the melodic rises and falls are relatively gentle, and there are many break points, so finding a comfortable personal tone in the falsetto and mixed-voice sections will be the key to singing it well.
December RainNEW!Yumi Arai
This song, which captures the loneliness of winter and the bittersweet longing for a love that has passed, is a gem that represents the early work of Yumi Arai.
Released in October 1974 and included on the album MISSLIM, it features a restrained band performance as its foundation, while the beautiful choral work by Tatsuro Yamashita and Taeko Onuki leaves a strong impression.
There is even an anecdote that Yamashita agreed to join the recording on the condition that he handle the chorus arrangement.
Set against a winter scene of December rain, a quiet nostalgia for days that will never return rises to the surface.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to softly by a window streaked with cold rain, when you feel like immersing yourself in memories of the past.
March 9NEW!Ryota Fujimaki
Music that gently wraps the days we spent together and our cherished memories is perfect for the start of graduation, isn’t it? This is the solo version by Ryota Fujimaki of the song Remioromen released in March 2004.
Set to a calm tempo, it portrays the radiance of a new beginning.
Through images of cherry blossoms that come to mind when you close your eyes and metaphors of light illuminating the future, it conveys not only the sorrow of parting but also the feelings of setting off on a journey filled with hope.
Originally written to celebrate a friend’s wedding, it became widely known as an insert song in the 2005 Fuji TV drama “1 Litre of Tears.” This version was released in 2017 as part of Ryota Fujimaki’s solo work.
If you pair it with a message of gratitude or a memory video with friends, it may make those irreplaceable moments even more moving.
366 daysNEW!HY
This is one of HY’s signature ballads, depicting the pain of heartbreak and the lingering feelings that won’t fade.
The poignant emotions of constantly thinking about an ex are delicately portrayed over a piano melody.
The title’s sentiment—that “365 days aren’t enough”—speaks to the lingering attachment and the depth of love for a romance that has ended.
The song was included on their fifth album, HeartY, released in 2008, and also drew attention as the theme song for the film Threads of Destiny.
A classic covered by many artists, it retains its brilliance even in a music box arrangement.
365 daysNEW!Mr.Children
A heartwarming love ballad that weaves together the tenderness that wells up in everyday life and a deep, vow-like devotion.
Included on the album “SENSE,” this song has enjoyed immense popularity as a wedding song since its release in December 2010, despite never having been released as a single.
Heard in the clear, delicate tones of a music box, the sentiments embedded in the lyrics will sink even more gently into your heart.
It’s a song to savor your feelings of love—on an anniversary with someone special, or in a quiet moment at night.
17 (until the day I die)NEW!BIGMAMA
It’s a coming-of-age number where fierce yet fleeting rock sounds intersect with razor-sharp guitars.
Featured on the album “Tokyo Emotional Gakuen,” released in October 2023, the track drew attention for its baseball-themed music video.
Many listeners will feel encouraged by the lyrics’ positive words and ambition: “I can’t end it like this,” and “The only thing I can change is my own actions.” When you want to strive toward a goal or change your current situation, listening to this song will surely give you the courage to keep going.
