For those captivated by the emotional depth of Japanese music, "Gira Gira" by Ado offers a poignant exploration of human nature. The lyrics which are: "Aa mou hontou ni nante subarashiki sekainde kyou mo mata onore no shuuakusa ni madouda no ni hito wo suki tte omou kimochi dake waicchoumae ni aru kara modaeterun deshouugly shoujiki itte watashi no kao wasou kamisama ga hidarite de egaita mitaihitsuzen konoyo ni aru rabu son" reveal the complexities of love, shame, and the struggle for self-acceptance.
Moreover, lyrical nonsense also provides the lyrics for "Lemon" by Kenshi Yonezu, which was the theme song for the drama "Unnatural". The lyrics translate as "Yume naraba dore hodo yokatta deshou. Mada anata no koto wo yume ni miru. Wasureta mono wo tori ni kaeru you ni. Furubita omoide no hokori wo harau. Kimi ga saigo ni oshiete kureta. Iezu ni kakushiteta kurai kako." This song is known for the beautiful poetic imagery of its verses, which expresses both grief and acceptance.
The platform also showcases the ending theme of "Wand and Sword," with lyrics like: "Teresukoopunozoitemitsumeteru kimisoko ni aru nichijou wamarude sakasamachi ni ashi ga tsukanai wakokoro uwanosoraikiba no nai omoi wakurushiku naru dakeaa, tsurai yamoshimonante jumonnan no kouryoku mo nai kedozenbu zeen".
