I wish it were so.Lyrics by Takao Ide / Music by Wakako Fukuda
The song “Sou dattara ii no ni na,” which sings about all kinds of dreams like “I wish it were like this” and “I wish it were like that,” has lyrics imagining how fun it would be if your house were like that, if it were Christmas all the time, or if you knew a wizard.
Just like this song, there are surely many children with delightful dreams.
It’s wonderful to make time to sing while imagining your own dreams.

I wanna draw doodles in the sky.Lyrics by: Michio Yamashita / Music by: Taku Izumi
“I Want to Doodle on the Sky” is a song that expresses the desire to draw on the vast, ever-expanding sky.
The music was composed by Taku Izumi, known for creating the familiar children’s song “Te no Hira o Taiyō ni,” and the lyrics were written by Michio Yamagami, who has penned numerous songs.
The lyrics describe wanting to draw things like so much food that it would startle the birds, slightly scary animals, and train tracks that could travel around the world.
Try singing it while imagining what kind of picture you would draw yourself.
Loss and LiesYoko Kurahashi
When you listen to it casually, it hardly sounds like a depressing song.
But once you look at the lyrics… it all makes sense.
Wanting to be loved by the one you love is something everyone feels in romance.
However, the woman in this song doesn’t care how little he pays attention to her; even if he insults her, she just wants to be by his side.
She’s satisfied even with words of love that lack truth—that’s how deep her feelings are.
It’s a love song for women so in love they can’t stop themselves, no matter what.
GraduationAtsumi Kurasawa
A song that chronicles an unrequited love from youth, “Sotsugyo” (Graduation).
It’s Junmi Kurasawa’s fourth single, released in 1985.
At first, it sounds like a breakup song, yet the strangely bright sound felt puzzling.
But when you get to the end of the lyrics, the reason becomes clear: at graduation, they discover their feelings are mutual.
If you listen to it during graduation season, you might just find yourself tempted to check the desk of the person you like (lol).
With such a happy ending, graduation doesn’t seem so bad.
So Into YouKumi Koda
Kumi Koda’s song “So Into You” is about her beloved dog.
It’s a track that conveys how she’s soothed by her dog’s presence and wants to stay together forever.
Many dog lovers have probably experienced their pet quietly staying by their side during sad or difficult times.
It’s wonderful to have someone who listens, but when you don’t feel like talking, just having someone there is truly comforting.
This is a song you’ll want to listen to while hugging your dependable dog who always helps you.
