[need your help] Japan journey songs

[Draggi]

Hello everyone.
Well, I only have 1 week left in Germany.
On Sunday, 29th I am going to live in Japan for one year.
To celebrate but also to be able to reconnect this time with all of my memories I would like to have a few songs that I am going to hear whenever I travel or have special moments, so that I can remember everything whenever I hear those songs.
They can be chill out songs, but also a bit ballad like or even pop songs.
Perhaps you have something special, like: every season is another song.
It's also okay when there are japanese "traditional sounds" in the song , like in EXILEs "Fireworks".
Please help me out with this.
Thanks in advance.

You're going to Japan for a year? How cool! Are you going on your own, for study, work and travel..? (sry, I am very interested in this)

Do you want Japanese songs only?

Yap I am going to live in Yokohama for one year
I will work there as a volunteer for the Tokyo Yokohama Doitsu Gakuen (German School Tokyo Yokohama).

Well, japanese songs would be cool I mean, I speak Japanese, and so I think English songs would be kinda boring

What do you think of :

EXILE - Fireworks
or
Arashi - To be free

[Luja.]

that's really amazing you speak Japanese

I would say EXILE - Fireworks!

You should try these songs, I was listening to these 2 songs accidentally while I was traveling, and I was surprised they really touched my deepest heart

[Draggi]

thanks so far..anyone else?

Sunshine Girl by moumoon is a perfect song for summer for me! I listen to it each time I go out somehow far



I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but Yuki no Hana from Mika Nakashima always remembers me of winter and gives me the chills


If those works for you, I can check some others

You want a traditional sound? Try Ai Otsuka's Kingyo Hanabi, Kurage, Nagareboshi, Planetarium. You want just a regular Japanese song, I would suggest Miliyah Kato, Anna Tsuchiya and B'z! OH! And Koshi Inaba too! <3
