Onion on SaturdayYuki Saito
A perfect song for a Saturday when you’re out of sync with your lover: “Saturday Onion.” It’s the sixth single released in 1986 by Yuki Saito, who has also enjoyed a brilliant career as an actress in dramas like “Metropolitan Police Department: First Investigative Division Chief.” The a cappella arrangement soothes with a dreamy sound that matches Saito’s soft, airy presence.
This song tightens the heart with its contrast between a bittersweet inner mood and everyone else’s happiness, making it especially relatable on Saturdays during the holiday season.
The uniquely striking lyrics that jolt you here and there add even more depth to its flavor.

When it comes to idol songs that can capture the heart of the guy you’re interested in, “Sonota Oosei Type” is the one.
It was included in Hinatazaka46’s 2022 single “Tsuki to Hoshi ga Odoru Midnight.” The song expresses the wish for “a man who gives you a sense of security and will stay by your side no matter what.” Sing it brightly and with a smile over its grand, atmospheric sound.
It’s a track that lets you deliver cute vocals and dance like an idol standing on a glamorous stage.
Send encouragement to the men who are always doing their best—and take the chance to share your feelings, too.

The 2018 single “Kūchū Saiban” (Airborne Trial) shows that the piano is also a rhythm instrument.
It was initially sold exclusively at live venues and later released on various music platforms.
At the start of the track, the left hand plays rhythm like a bassist, and the piece builds excitement through a variety of techniques, including short, clipped staccato and syncopation that drives the groove.
The single also includes a cover of the Eagles’ classic “Desperado,” so be sure to give it a listen!
That voice becomes a map.Saori Hayami
Hayami Saori—affectionately known as Hayamin—has a boundlessly clear, soaring singing voice that exudes an elegant, refined quality, like the crisp chill of winter.
Released in 2016, this song is her second single and a double A-side, and it also served as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Snow White with the Red Hair, in which she starred.
Beyond her vocal ability that transcends the bounds of a typical voice actor, note that Hayami wrote the lyrics herself and was involved in the composition as well.
If possible, give the anime a watch—you’ll likely grow to love the song even more!
creationGen Hoshino
Listening to this song makes all my frustration disappear and gives me the drive to face forward and move on.
It’s a track by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, released digitally in 2021.
Written as the theme song for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.
, it’s packed with delightful touches that Nintendo fans will love.
The fresh, never-tiring arrangement is quintessential Hoshino.
It’s a light, uplifting number I especially recommend to people who enjoy making things as a hobby.
KanadeSaya Asakura
Sayaka Asakura covered Sukima Switch’s big hit “Kanade” in the Yamagata dialect.
“Kanade” sung in a regional dialect is really nice, too.
Her singing is very skillful and powerful.
It’s a wonderful number where her voice matches the Yamagata dialect.
I especially recommend it to people from Yamagata—please give it a listen.
I looked up at the sky.Noritake Kinashi, Hiromi, George Tokoro
Composed by George Tokoro as the theme song for the travel variety show “Noritake, Fumiya, and Hiromi Go! Camping Car Training Camp—A Journey of Encounters, Connections, and Happiness,” starring Noritake Kinashi, Fumiya Fujii, and George Tokoro and broadcast irregularly on the Fuji TV network from 2015 to 2016 and again in 2023, the track was released in December 2023.
It’s a mid-tempo piece with a warm, laid-back vibe, and its melodic range is comfortably singable for most men, making it a great recommendation even for those who don’t usually sing.
Just like in the original, it’s even more fun when sung together with a few friends in chorus!
