Sousuke’s TearsJoe Hisaishi
This is “Sosuke’s Tears,” a piece titled after Sosuke, the five-year-old boy from Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea.
Sosuke is always cheerful and full of energy, and this piece expresses his tears through a poignant piano melody.
It’s a short composition, but it leaves a strong impression with a mood different from Sosuke’s usual brightness.
At five years old you might expect loud, wailing cries, but the sound here seems fitting for Sosuke—a dependable boy with a strong sense of justice.
The girl who fell from the skyJoe Hisaishi
This is a piece of music used in Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
It has an atmosphere that perfectly matches the title “The Girl Who Fell from the Sky.” It’s a track that combines a slightly mysterious mood with grandeur.
The woodwind ensemble at the beginning creates a wonderful ambiance.
Imaginative Color CoordinationKyushu man
Even just from his stage name, you can feel the Kyushu spirit—Kyushu-o, a reggae singer from Nagasaki Prefecture.
He encountered reggae at 19, and at 20 he was invited to perform at a local club, which led him to take the stage.
Later, determined to study reggae in earnest, he spent about two years in Jamaica on his own starting at age 21, showing his disciplined commitment to music.
His straightforward, manly love songs and many positive tracks are truly uplifting!
So AddictiveRei
Overflowing with sensual allure, this song portrays the complex emotions where love and hate intertwine.
The protagonist’s descent into a dangerous romance is vividly conveyed through Rei’s expressively nuanced vocals.
Released in February 2023, it was written as the theme song for the drama “Five Ways to Socially Erase Your Husband.” It brilliantly captures the drama’s mysterious atmosphere and the heroine’s state of mind, and Rei herself considers it one of the finest works of her musical career.
With its mature groove and ambience, this track also makes a perfect soundtrack for a nighttime drive or for spending unhurried moments with someone special.
Rain the sky knows nothing ofLow-income P
You’ll be drawn in by the transparent, shimmering choral work in this piece.
It’s a song by Low-Income P, a character (model) from the manga “Wasteful Days of High School Girls,” released in 2021.
Though the rhythm and melody are understated, they somehow feel richly emotional—perhaps thanks to the lyrics.
The recurring piano timbre seems to seep deep into the heart.
If you’re performing it as a duet, be sure to practice thoroughly to avoid dissonance; otherwise, the song’s clarity and beauty may not come through.

Mariko Sago’i, a singer-songwriter from and currently living in Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture, began her career in 2005.
Introduced to music by her mother at the age of three, she went on to attend a music vocational school and expanded her activities as a singer-songwriter by creating numerous image songs.
With a gentle yet powerful voice and catchy piano playing that stands shoulder to shoulder with her vocals, she is an artist whose music soothes listeners and gives them a push forward.
Her hobby of making accessories has also flourished; at her live shows, fans can purchase her handmade accessories, phone straps, pin badges, and eco-bags, making her a musician known for a warm atmosphere and a close connection with her audience.
Soran BushiMieko Sato
Soran-bushi, which is popular at events like sports days and cultural festivals, is one of the most well-known folk songs in Japan that many people have likely heard.
As the lyrics suggest, it’s a fisherman’s song—specifically a boat song sung during herring fishing in Hokkaido.
It’s said that the song became especially lively amid the bustle of fishermen aiming to strike it rich from the herring catch.
Perhaps it’s precisely because of that energetic spirit that it has been so strongly passed down to the present day.
There are many singing styles and arrangements, so why not enjoy comparing different versions?
