Songs with titles starting with “Ya” (361–370)
Traces of KindnessEikichi Yazawa
This song is included on the 20th album, “Don’t Wanna Stop,” released in 1991.
It’s an adult, moody number that exudes Eikichi Yazawa’s masculine allure.
The guitar and synth sounds carry a hint of Eric Clapton’s 1989 release “Journeyman.
” I’m struck by Yazawa’s voracious drive to keep incorporating the cutting-edge sounds of the time and make them his own, and by the individuality that never loses its unmistakable Yazawa-ness no matter what he does.
To the Promised Sky ~The Place Where I Belonged~Yoko Ishida / 501st Joint Fighter Wing / Shizuka Hattori
“To the Promised Sky ~The Place Where I Was~” is the theme song for the feature film Strike Witches: The Movie, which brings the popular TV series to the big screen.
Sung by Yoko Ishida, who has performed the TV series’ opening themes, together with the main voice cast, this track feels refreshingly uplifting and is a perfect fit for the film’s finale.
And above all, the guitar solo in the interlude is wonderful.
Gentle RedMiho Fukuhara
This is Miho Fukuhara’s third CD single overall, released in November 2008.
It was used as the song for an au “LISMO” commercial.
Fukuhara, whose appeal as a female singer includes her slightly fuller tone, uses a highly effective mixed voice in this track—especially in the high notes of the chorus—giving the song a certain gentleness and softness.
When singing those sections, try to place your voice as softly as possible against the upper palate to produce a smooth, soft mixed voice.
I think the key to making this song sound really good lies in how smoothly you can transition between chest voice and mix, and how much contrast you can create with high notes in chest voice.
Yum-Yum☆Cabbage TourHaruka Fukuhara
This is a song used in the NHK educational program Cooking Idol Ai! Mai! Main, included as a coupling track on Haruka Fukuhara’s debut single.
It’s a cute song that sings about the deliciousness of cabbage and mixes in facts about it, and it was very popular with children at the time.
The Hill of PromisesMasaharu Fukuyama
This song was released in 1992.
It sings about the scenery of Mount Inasa in Nagasaki Prefecture, the hometown of Masaharu Fukuyama.
It’s an uplifting anthem that inspires the feeling of pressing on while drawing strength from a distant hometown.
It’s also a very popular song at live shows.

Yabai T-Shirts YasanAutumn
A mixed-gender three-piece rock band, ‘Yabai T-Shirts Yasan,’ brings an energizing autumn song, “Autumn.” I just introduced them as a rock band, but they’re a curious group that also carries hardcore and even comic-band elements—you all know them by now, right? This track “Autumn” leans more toward comical lyrics, bursting with an upbeat vibe driven by the concept of “What comes to mind when you think of autumn?” That said, the intro riff repeats at key moments, and the sound is seriously cool.
Highly recommended not only for guitar kids, but also for anyone who hasn’t heard Yaba-T yet!
A late breakfast on a gentle afternoonMotohiro Hata
A song with a soothing melody and a profound poetic world that captivates the listener.
Released in 2010, Hata Motohiro’s track was included as the B-side to his debut single, “Synchro.” The lyrics, which depict a moment of facing oneself in silence, resonate deeply with the listener’s heart.
This piece evokes a gentle flow of time, like leisurely enjoying breakfast in the soft afternoon light.
It’s perfect for those moments when you want to pause amid busy days and take a fresh look at yourself.
Recommended for a weekend stroll or for unwinding at the end of the day.
