Sentimental HeartYuto Tatsumi

Sentimental Heart Tatsumi Yuto

Yuto Tatsumi, who has released classic enka centered on the theme of “junjo” (pure-heartedness) with songs like “Shitamachi Junjo” and “Otoko no Junjo,” made a striking image change and took on a kayokyoku direction with this memorable track, “Sentimental Heart.” Released in 2020 as his third single, this kayokyoku-to-pop number feels nostalgic to the Showa generation, while coming across as fresh to listeners of Tatsumi’s own generation and younger—bringing out a new facet of his appeal.

True to kayokyoku style, the melody is catchy and set in a relatively low key, making it easy to sing; however, the overall range is quite wide, so take care not to miss pitches—especially in the chorus, where the low and high notes shift back and forth in quick succession.

The happiest way to die in the worldOld Song

The Happiest Way to Die in the World / Reminiscence Song feat. IA
A Lament for the Happiest Way to Die in the World

A song by Ko-uta that questions the meaning of life.

Upon its release in March 2023, it resonated with many listeners and became a hot topic on social media.

This is a track for those struggling with human connection or on the verge of losing sight of life’s meaning.

Its empathetic lyrics will surely give you a chance to reflect and rediscover yourself.

uniformSeiko Matsuda

A masterpiece of youth pop that gently captures the tenderness of a first crush and the poignancy of parting.

In the rain, the protagonist quietly harbors feelings for a classmate departing for the city with a diploma in hand, rendered with delicate nuance.

Takashi Matsumoto’s warm lyrics and Yumi Matsutoya’s melody blend beautifully, culminating in a gem that freezes a fleeting moment of youth.

Released in January 1982 as the B-side to Seiko Matsuda’s single “Akai Sweet Pea,” it was later included on the album “Touch Me, Seiko.” This is a song I wholeheartedly recommend to those entering graduation season or anyone who has experienced a farewell to someone dear.

Along with its gentle, soothing vocals, it will tenderly bring back nostalgic memories to keep you company.

It’s a work by the music unit Last Note.

, released in May 2012.

The song expresses frustration with one’s tendency to escape from reality and the resolve that sprouts from it to move forward.

The razor-sharp guitar is awesome, and the synth riffs are blazing too.

If you’re a student right in the midst of your youth, it might resonate especially strongly.

Try singing it when you’re feeling unmotivated!
