Surf TimeHirai Dai
A classic of Hawaiian surf music wrapped in the sound of waves and a soothing ukulele melody.
Featured on the 2011 debut album “OHANA,” this piece is one of Dai Hirai’s signature works, imbued with his deep love for surf culture.
Its lyrics, themed around a yearning for tropical islands and the freedom of the surfing life, leave a strong impression.
With vivid scenes that weave in Hawaiian place names, it instantly transports listeners to a sunny, southern beach.
It’s the perfect track for relaxing by the seaside or resetting your mind away from the noise of everyday life.
The Strongest Twin-TailsAKB48
Performed by members aged 16 and under dressed in adorable pink and frilly outfits, this track is a B-side included on the Type D [First Press Limited Edition] of the single “NO WAY MAN,” released in November 2018.
Sung by the special unit U-16 Selection 2018, it’s a poppy and cute song that perfectly expresses a love for the twin-tail hairstyle adored by mass-produced-style girls.
Its bright, upbeat rhythm and fresh, innocent vocals are charming and uplifting just by listening.
Highly recommended for those who love cute things or are looking for a fresh idol song!
The Second-to-Last Love SongShinnosuke
This song centers on a bittersweet, real-life-inspired re-confession.
Released in July 2015 as Shinnosuke’s first solo digital single, it conveys regret over a past romance and the longing to win back that love.
Vivid scenes—stars seen from a loft window, two people sleeping within an almost touchable distance—are interwoven throughout, resulting in a work where a melodious track and emotionally rich lyrics blend beautifully.
The song is also included on the first full album, HOPE, and is one you’ll want to hear if you’ve experienced heartbreak or want to reexamine your relationship with someone important.
SalamanderELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN’s “Salamander” was released as a single in 2006 and is also included on the album ELEVEN FIRE CRACKERS.
The vocals unfold from a flat, almost spoken delivery into a chorus that mixes in higher notes, and the powerful sound that overlaps with this progression conveys a strong sense of momentum.
The overall sonic atmosphere also feels energetic, with a playing style that emphasizes a rough, forceful intensity, which is a key appeal.
Strongly accentuating the choppy guitar at the beginning may also be a point that boosts the drive of the entire track.
The Last Suppermouse on the keys
Beginning with a serene piano melody and overwhelming the listener with complex rhythmic structures that employ irregular meters and polyrhythms, this is one of mouse on the keys’ signature tracks.
Their unique sound—fusing post-rock, jazz, and minimal music—unfolds like a narrative, culminating in a tense climax driven by the interplay of fierce drums and weighty piano.
Released in 2007 as the opening track of the EP “Sezession,” it was also featured in a commercial for Shiseido’s cosmetics brand MAQuillAGE.
It’s ideal as background music for tasks that require concentration, and its intricate structure and dynamic development reveal something new with every listen.
Oh, early summer rainRisa Watanabe
Risa Watanabe, born in July 1998 in Ibaraki Prefecture, is a multi-talented entertainer active across a wide range of fields, from idol group member to actress and model.
She entered the entertainment industry in 2015 as a first-generation member of Keyakizaka46 and served as a front member for their debut single, “Silent Majority.” She went on to play central roles in songs such as “Fukyouwaon” and “Kaze ni Fukaretemo,” contributing to the group’s numerous accolades, including the Japan Record Awards and the Japan Gold Disc Award.
With her neat, cool charm and assured expressive power, she has captivated many fans.
Since graduating in 2022, she has shifted her focus to acting while continuing to work across diverse fields.
She’s an artist well worth following for anyone interested in idol culture or the acting world.
Goodbye OceanKiyotaka Sugiyama
Kiyotaka Sugiyama is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking about Japanese AOR and city pop.
In his early days he leaned toward rock, but later he grew interested in R&B and soul, which led him to sing city pop that suited his vocal range.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is Sayonara no Ocean.
It features a characteristically city-pop, expansive vocal line, but the melodic contours are gentle, so as long as you find the right key, anyone can sing it with ease.
