What song (song) makes you feel like “It's Buddhist”?

Strange question (;° O°)
Could the monk teach me the song “This is a Buddhist song”?
I'd like to hear that.

Personally, The Blue Hearts
“Rose of Passion”... various acts impermanent
“Linda Linda”... the preciousness of the lives of sentient beings
“HANABI” in Mr. Children... An Obsession of Affliction
It's (laughs) it's just a personal interpretation...

If I could get to know the musical views of people who serve Buddhism, Buddhism would become more and more interesting, so I'm asking this question < (_ _) >

I can think of a lot of things, but it lacks a decisive factor. If you make them stronger

I think it's “Flowers ~Flowers for Everyone's Heart~” by Shokichi Kina.

Where do flowers flow where do they go
Where do people flow and where do they go

With only these two lines of lyrics, I feel like they talk about impermanence in every act and talk about nirvana silence.

Partial (with additions)

Sunday Morning/Utada Hikaru
“Happiness and unhappiness are basically wrong concepts”
“I like people who don't call me boyfriends or girlfriends, and they've always been fascinating without being able to solve riddles.”

→ Release the sense of right and wrong. Freedom from determination and confinement. Sharing questions, not answers.

Into the Dream/ Inoue Yosui
“What are you looking for? Is it hard to find?”
“It's also a common story where you can find it when you stop searching”
“Wouldn't you like to go to your dreams?”

→I wonder if this is bad. I don't even know what I'm looking for, and I'm struggling with people searching around. When I stopped searching, I found myself just the way I am. Wouldn't you like to go to the Pure Land where you can be revealed?

SO YOUNG: THE YELLOW MONKEY
“I live in the present because I had a past, so I screamed and looked for the future”
“Even if we all forget our youth one day and die in our memories, what we believed that day was not a lie.”

→One step away from accepting a rejected past. Satisfaction with life.
Sorry, I just love Yemon (laughs) It's complicated and impossible. (Like the others)

(Added) ROCKET DIVE/HIDE
“It's almost the same every day, so that's OK, but somehow you look up at the sky, right?”
“There's nothing, well, anything is an ant, you can go anywhere you want to go”

→I noticed it today (laughs) this is amazing!
Airborne. Self-satisfaction from the awakening of “the sky.” Real freedom.

The music is nice, isn't it?
As one's own world is superimposed on an open world called poetry, individual experiences transcend individuals. Therein lies salvation. My discovery within the world, the discovery of a world connected to me.
Music is religion. I think that even young people with no religious affiliation are actually experiencing this kind of religious salvation.

It's a foul play

Shinshu Otani school theme song https://youtu.be/a4JpouxtAGE?t=106

I really like both the music and the lyrics. http://renshouji.com/introduction/chorus/goenkisong.htm

It's a sectarian theme song, so of course, the lyrics are very Jodo Shinshu and Otani school.

Each one is different and interesting.

My name is Shakkeishin.

Thank you for your kind thank-you reply the other day.

There are a lot of them.
You can read Buddhist feelings in songs that sing views on life and death and reason.

I am Kazumasa Oda's
“Certainly”
You transcend time,
You'll never be able to go back here, but don't ever think of it as sad

It comes close to the chest.

B'z's
“BURN Fumetsuno Face”
I have a strong sense of impermanence throughout the lyrics, and the fact that you become a Buddha and gain eternal life (life).

Thank you very much.

Colourful

I also like Mr. Children's “Color.”
I feel like all laws are selfless, or rather, that everyone is connected.

What game shall we play today

look around you my people, if you look then you will see how to love
Life is Paradise, All Together, What Game Shall We Play Today

Man Just Wants to Be Happy, Cast Off Things That Shouldn't Be (Happy)
Set him free, life is paradise,
All together what game shall we play today

Is there a way you can find it, it's within you can't see?
Find the truth it's not impossible
All together what game shall we play today

Here we are all together
Free to have and do and be
What we see, for the first time
All together what game shall we play today

Thanks for the fun question.
I'm jumping in and participating.

B'z calling

Can you hear this voice
Can you hear me now
Please don't suffer

This call seemed like a call from the Buddha, “Namu Amida Buddha.” The lyrics seem to make you hear a call to let you know that there are people who can always care about you in an impermanent world even after that!

I think MONGOL800's “To You” is also Buddhist.
When I meet you, I'll be an eternal star
You, of course, Buddha. Furthermore, I can't help but think that I am a Buddha = star because of that function.

In other words, once you taste Buddhism, everything starts to seem like Buddhism (laughs)
Buddhism is amazing!

“Nobody Is Right” by Miyuki Nakajima

Makihara Takayuki's “Only One Flower in the World”
“Ito” by Miyuki Nakajima
I think so.

Actually, I wasn't the only one who thought so; there was a monk who introduced these songs in response to similar questions before.
http://hasunoha.jp/questions/1924

Other than that, “Nobody Is Right” by Miyuki Nakajima is also Buddhist.

“Can you say the names of the constellations”

It's “Can you say the names of the constellations” by Muscular Girls' Belt.

“Are you lonely? It's okay because I'm lonely too
are you sad? It's okay because I'm sad too
can't you do it? It's okay, I'm good at that too
So hey
Can you say the names of the constellations
Can you name the stars?
Can you call the magician by name?

do you want to die? It's okay because I want to disappear too
do you want to be alive? It's okay because I want to live too
Can't decide? It's okay, I'm good at that too
but hey
Do you know what's coming?
Can you erase your old feelings?
Can you call the magician's name?”

The lyrics make me feel compassionate and close to my worries and suffering.
For me, who belongs to the Jodo sect,
“The name of the constellation” is Pure Paradise,
“Magician” is associated with Amitabha Buddha.

I also like the song “Searchlight” by Muscular Girls' Belt because it reminds me of the Jodo sect's “The Metaphor of Nikawa Hakudo.”

Akimoto Yasushi's lyrics are pretty much like that.

AKB48 “Despised Love” “Are You Watching the Sunset?”
“River,” “Breathing,” “The Wind Is Blowing”
“We won't fight”

Nogizaka46 “Life is Beautiful” “How many times has the sky been blue?”

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven (Stairway to Heaven)

I listen to music as sound, so I'm not usually aware of the lyrics at all, but when I somehow took this opportunity to read Buddhism, I was able to do it...
Originally, the lyrics were written by people with deep knowledge of Celtic folklore and Norse mythology, so it's my joke, but since culture revolves around and polytheism is similar, it's probably just a mistake (?) I used the Japanese translation on this site as a reference.

She is seeking enlightenment.
She knows that enlightenment brings everything even when greed is not satisfied.
Enlightenment is something that cannot be estimated by emotion, as a wooden doll sings and a stone doll stands and dances (verse from the sutra called Hokyo Sanmai). Oh, what happened?
Nevertheless, I still yearn for Western Tenjiku (or Western Pure Land). The depths of my heart don't stop searching for enlightenment. Oh, what happened?
Tenbu guides me. A celestial maiden blesses my ascetic practice.
You can also return to the world of pleasure. It's never too late to become a monk, no matter how old you get...
Marla insistently invites her to return to the world. But it is this world that unfolds before our eyes that is the training dojo.
As I wiggle through Buddhism, the power of action shapes me.
Look, she's over there. She wants to teach. If you listen closely, you should be able to hear it.
One is everything, everything is one (color is empty, empty is color)
If you sit down (zajo) as obtrusive (jittery) (the fact that there is a rock there that doesn't move steadily is also due to countless fortunes, and it is a manifestation of an unshakable truth in the Zen sect)
And I live in enlightenment with my girlfriend
...
Let's pray for her soul... Put me on the shelf in my left hand, put her on the shelf in my right hand, and gently put my hands together...
