The figurative expressions—such as comparing romance to trick art—are unique and amusing.

A song that resonates with the heart, filled with Shunsuke Kiyokiba’s gentle yet powerful vocals! The lyrics are striking, evoking scenes everyone experiences at least once, like “parting with a friend” or “setting off on a new journey.” Released in March 2017, this track is said to have been created with thoughts for his former EXILE comrade, ATSUSHI.
It carries gratitude for the days they walked together and a wish to keep their unchanging bond moving forward.
Give it a listen when you’ve gone through a farewell with a dear friend or feel like reaching out after a while—you’ll surely feel your heart swell.
So there was one in Tokyo, too.Masaharu Fukuyama
“Tokyo ni mo Attanda” portrays someone who moved to Tokyo with a goal, gazing at the beautiful scenery they found there while thinking of a loved one back home.
Released in 2007 as a double A-side single alongside “Muteki no Kimi,” the song was used as the theme for the film “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” Although the chorus includes some slightly higher notes, the song overall lets you showcase the charm of a low voice, making it recommended for people with lower vocal ranges.
Its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody also make it approachable for those who aren’t used to singing.

Loved across generations as a timeless classic, this song captures the hearts of many.
Its warm melody and Junichi Inagaki’s clear, transparent vocals blend beautifully with lyrics that depict eternal love and bonds that transcend time.
Included on the album “Mind Note,” released in March 1987, and also used in a Nippon Life TV commercial, the piece conveys a resolve to stay by someone’s side even through difficult times.
Inagaki’s gentle voice further amplifies the deep emotions, making it a track that lets listeners feel the power of everlasting love.

With its light rhythm and bright melody, it was released in 1948.

I wish I could be a bird.Kenshi Yonezu
It would be really cool to sing a song that only a true fan would choose, right? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Even If I Could Become a Bird.” It’s a track included on the second single “MAD HEAD LOVE/Poppin’ Apathy,” and it wasn’t released as a standalone single.
Still, it’s highly popular among fans.
The lyrics convey love from a first-person perspective, which also makes it appealing because it’s easy to put your emotions into it when singing.
