August 15, 2025 Bakusho Mondai's Sunday Sunday

This week is 'What Song Is It Today? Calendar Request 2025'.
This is a project where we use a lottery machine to pick a month and day, and then solicit requests for 'the perfect song for that day'.
With that said, many songs will be introduced, so let's get started right away!
For each date, multiple songs recommended by listeners will be introduced, and the 'perfect song' will be decided from among them.

The ones marked with ◎ are the songs that were chosen.
The comments on the songs are the reasons for the recommendations provided by the listeners who requested them.

The perfect song for 8/24

Godiego 'Galaxy Express 999'

Because August 24, 2005, was the opening day of the Tsukuba Express.

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Summer Time Cinderella'

It has the lyrics 'August calendar, the end of summer is approaching' in the second half, so it's perfect.

◎ Junichi Inagaki 'Natsu no Claxon'

Because I heard this song at a concert held at a yacht harbor in Kumamoto several years ago, and I haven't been able to forget it since.

The perfect song for 8/31

Yosui Inoue & Anzen Chitai 'Natsu no Owari no Harmony'

Because 8/31 is the end of summer.

◎ Fujifabric 'Wakamono no Subete'

I heard it played on 8/31 on a radio program before. The opening lyrics, 'The peak of midsummer has passed, the weather forecaster said on TV,' are the very essence of the end of summer.

Naotaro Moriyama 'Natsu no Owari'

In reality, I was busy chasing down homework and wasn't as relaxed as this song, but listening to it reminds me of my childhood.

The perfect song for 4/24

◎ Takuro Yoshida 'Haru Datta ne'

I've been a huge Takuro fan since I was a child. It's a song I want to sing when spring comes around.

Marcia 'Furimukeba Yokohama'

April 24th is the birthday of Gitan Otsuru, known for "Ma-chan, I'm Sorry."

Mariya Takeuchi - "Iro, White Blend"

The cherry blossoms have fallen, and the greenery is becoming beautiful. This song is perfect for that time.

A perfect song for November 30th

RC Succession - "Koshu Kaido wa Mou Aki nano sa"

The sentimentality of late autumn and Kiyoshiro's strained voice wrap you in an indescribable feeling.

◎ Tota - "Yokan"

Since it's Lucy Montgomery's birthday, this is the only song for it.

A perfect song for May 1st

Chiharu Matsuyama - "Koi"

Because it can be read as "koi" (love) based on wordplay.

Yumi Matsutoya - "Midori no Machi ni Maiorite"

With its image of the restless feeling before Golden Week begins and the fresh greenery of Morioka, it's perfect for the start of May.

◎ Skirt - "Shikai Ryoukou"

A refreshing song that feels like cycling along the coast in early summer.

A perfect song for May 22nd

Spitz - "Shoka no Hi"

A pleasant time in early summer. I love it because the temperature rises and you can feel summer approaching in the town.

Eiichi Ohtaki - "Samidare"

My music mentor. Here is a masterpiece by Ohtaki-san.

◎ Elephant Kashimashi "Oretachi no Ashita"

Speaking of May, there's the 'May blues.' When you're feeling down at work, listen to this song and blow those gloomy feelings away!

I felt my spirits lift a bit after hearing an Elephant Kashimashi song at the end.
It also makes the program itself feel more polished.
