DREAMERIkuta Rira
This is a medium-tempo number filled with a sincere love for music, performed by Lila Ikuta, who is active as the vocalist of YOASOBI.
Featured on the single Hyakka Ryoran, released in March 2025, it is a self-cover of an original song Ikuta wrote for the drama Paripi Komei.
Her gently conversational vocals meld with a warm melody, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s a heartwarming track that quietly stays by your side when you find yourself at a standstill.
Caramel PainHoshimachi Suisei
A track included on Suisei Hoshimachi’s album “Shinsei Mokuroku,” released in January 2025, with its music video debuting in March.
Written and composed by Deu from the band PEOPLE 1, it blends stylish flair with cool swagger.
The lyrics liken the difficulty of self-love and the struggles of growth to the taste of caramel, giving the song a sense of depth.
Savor Suisei Hoshimachi’s powerful vocals to the fullest!
YuiriMurayama Yuiri
A heartwarming number with a beautifully resonant piano sound.
It’s Yuiri Murayama’s AKB48 graduation song and her solo debut track.
The lyrics, packed with her own experiences and feelings, directly reflect her as she stands before the major turning point of graduating from being an idol.
And Murayama’s gentle singing voice is truly wonderful.
It’s a song that softly encourages anyone who’s about to take a new step forward.
deco gradationnekomata okayu
I’m drawn to its languid, ennui-tinged rock sound.
This work fully showcases Okayu Nekomata’s individuality, wrapping melodiousness in a dark atmosphere.
Released in March 2025 as an advance single from the album “Perso-nya ~Respect,” it was written, composed, and arranged by the popular Vocaloid producer Inabakumori.
Perhaps because the lyrics delicately portray the subtleties of human relationships, you can’t help but find yourself listening intently.
It’s the perfect track for when you want to face the complex emotions within your heart.
FRIENDS!!!imase
Imase’s new song, which portrays long-standing friendship and its changes with a pop sound, is gaining buzz, especially among younger listeners.
It gently conveys the beauty of friendships that don’t fade with age—even amid the awkwardness of a long-awaited reunion—through tender vocals, and stands out with its groovy rhythm and richly arranged instrumentation.
Released in February 2025 as the theme song for the collaborative project “Everyone’s Concert” by the live communication app Pococha and Yamaha Corporation, the track also inspired a special video featuring a performance with over 120 musicians.
It’s a perfect pick for meeting an old friend or reminiscing about cherished memories with someone close.
