It carefully speaks to life lessons such as “loving someone deeply,” “accepting sorrow through tears,” and “trusting others and moving forward.” The lyrics were written by Kaientai’s leader, Tetsuya Takeda, based on a heartbreak he experienced in college, and the many words that strike the heart are especially compelling.
Released as a single in November 1979, it was chosen as the theme song for the first season of the TBS drama Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3B, starring Tetsuya Takeda.
For older adults who have experienced the loss of a family member, it is sure to be a song that resonates deeply.
By reminiscing together or keeping time with handclaps to the melody, everyone can share a peaceful moment.

The other day, RYKEY finally got back out into the free world.
He’s changed his artist name to RYKEYDADDY.

The standout that’s drawing the most attention is All Waiting For Me.
It’s a talk-style rap that’s direct yet lyrical, showcasing his rugged, deep-toned voice throughout.
The hook is built in a low register as well, so it’s highly recommended for those with low, raspy voices.
OverrideYase Yoshida
Since its release in November 2023, Override has become a newly etched hit in Vocaloid history, thanks to its catchy melody, breakneck-speed dance music, and lyrics that, while packed with references, still evoke a sense of inner darkness.
The producer, Yose Yoshida, originally worked at a company as a programmer, and reconsidering the title and lyrics in light of that background may reveal a variety of meanings.
If you’re going to sing it at karaoke, keeping up with the speed is the first prerequisite, but you might be surprised how far sheer momentum can carry you—and the melody itself is extremely catchy—so definitely give it a try.
