The size of the moonNogizaka46
A powerful cheer song delivered by Nogizaka46.
Included on their 7th single “Barette,” released in November 2013, it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Naruto Shippuden.
While gazing up at a moon larger and brighter than usual, the song expresses a resolve to overcome sorrow and move toward independence, and as you listen, it fills you with passion too.

O strong oneSKE48
Formed as the first sister group of AKB48 and based in Sakae, Nagoya, SKE48.
This work is their debut single, released in August 2009—a powerful number that stands apart from cute idol songs and can be called an anthem for those who fight.
The lyrics depict a hero who, though wounded, overcomes loneliness and strives to carve out the future; it also feels like a declaration of resolve from the group as they set out to take on the scene.
The song was also used as the ending theme for the anime Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-Hen on television.
It’s a track that gives you a push forward—highly recommended for those who want to face challenges or need the courage to take a new step.
cold raincali≠gari
It’s a rock number marked by the melancholic sound of the accordion and a somehow nostalgic melody.
From the lyrics, you can feel the searing emotions of someone trembling in loneliness, seeking salvation amid pouring rain.
In the depths of helpless despair, the figure still reaching for a faint light is portrayed with striking realism.
The song appears on cali≠gari’s indie album The Third Laboratory, their CD debut released in June 1998.
On nights when your heart sinks and nothing seems to help, don’t you think listening to it might gently stay by your side?
TSUBASA feat. Yomi JahAwich
Set against a refined sound that borders on the sublime, this moving song weaves a prayer for the future by Awich and her beloved daughter, Yomi Jah.
Released in May 2022 to mark 50 years since Okinawa’s reversion, it followed the album Queendom.
Bearing the weight of Okinawa’s complex history, it conveys a warm message to the next generation: to face forward and carve out their own future.
What can we do to ensure tragic history is not repeated? The song gently poses this question, inviting us to reflect anew on the preciousness of peace.
Let's meet on the far side of the moon.TVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)
On the milestone of their 20th anniversary since debuting in Japan, TVXQ have released a cover that revives a classic city pop masterpiece originally released in 1991.
While cherishing the original’s urbane, romantic atmosphere, this work adds a glamorous band sound and the duo’s refreshing harmonies to create a new allure.
Set against the backdrop of the night city, the lyrics—wishing for a reunion with “you”—can also be heard as their message to move forward toward a new future together with their fans.
It feels perfect for a nighttime drive with someone special.
Joined handsMashō Funatsu
This is a ballad by Masato Funatsu that gently weaves the warm happiness found in everyday life with an acoustic touch.
The song was written as a CM theme for the Shimane Denkō Group, centered on the theme of human connection.
Unchanging feelings that endure for decades and bonds that deepen when we join hands are expressed through vocals that slowly seep into the heart.
It’s a heartwarming love song that makes the ordinary days spent with someone special feel even more precious.
The Crows of TsukubaHaruo Minami
This is a local song set in Ibaraki by Haruo Minami, known as a nationally beloved singer.
The emotionally rich “kayō-rōkyoku” style, unique to a rōkyoku balladeer, vividly portrays the scenery of Tsukuba and the human warmth that resides there.
The word “aho-garasu” (foolish crow) that appears in the lyrics likely symbolizes the protagonist’s helpless feelings and homesickness as he travels far from home.
Listening to Minami’s powerful yet gentle voice, you can almost see the sun setting over the banks of the Tone River and the scenes of Morokawa-juku.
It’s a deeply moving song filled with the spirit of Ibaraki and the bittersweet longing for one’s hometown.
