Similar Music Discovered by Accident

I have randomly realized that the following songs exhibit similarities, I’m not sure how to confirm it, but I cannot believe there’s nothing in here that is causing my brain to correlate those songs. The songs that brought my attention to the topic are:

MONGOL800 - “小さな恋のうた” and Aya Ueto - “愛のために。”
1. Certainty: Low
Ho-Kago Tea Time - “ふわふわ時間” and SPLAY - “Drawing days”
1. Certainty: High

To-Do List

Analyze the key factors that contribute to the similarity of music.
Provide evidence to support the claim that the aforementioned songs are similar.
Continuously explore and identify additional similarities among various songs to determine if commonly perceived similarities align with actual musical similarities or just me associating random things.
