Galileo Galilei – Amadeus (Official Music Video)

Released in October 2025, this work was written as the opening theme for the NHK E-TV anime Blue Orchestra Season 2.

Set to a grand ensemble that fuses frenzied strings with a full band sound, it portrays the emotions of adolescence—jealousy of talent, inner conflict, and more.

Its dramatic sonic landscape naturally stirs your feelings as you listen.

It’s a bold rock tune with music itself as its theme.

HANA / My Body -Music Video-

This is a track HANA released in October 2025 as the theme song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s “BODY MAINTE” commercial.

Following the previous single “BAD LOVE,” member MOMOKA also contributed to the lyrics.

Centered on the powerful message that “your body is your own,” the song boldly celebrates autonomy and self-affirmation, unshaken by others.

The memorable phrase repeated from the intro stirs listeners’ hearts with the resolve to “take care of yourself.” Whenever you feel like you’re losing your sense of self, give this song a listen.

MADKID / Mad Pulse [Music Video] (TV anime “DIGIMON BEATBREAK” opening theme)

Centered on the theme of believing in yourself and keeping your rhythm, the lyrics use music and beats as metaphors to deliver a powerful message.

The aggressive arrangement, weaving together guitar sounds and rap, is incredibly cool.

When you feel like you’re losing your pace, this song might give you the strength you need.

Myuk – Glide (Music Video)

In the unchanging routine of everyday life, have you ever felt anxious about whether you’re really moving forward? Myuk’s song “Glide” is a number that stays close to those wavering feelings while urging you to keep taking one step at a time.

The arrangement, which starts with piano and gradually layers in a band sound, carries a rock edge yet wraps you in a gentle warmth.

Listen closely and let it fuel you for tomorrow.

It was the ending theme for the TV anime “Shūmatsu Touring” (Endo of the World Touring).

It’s a love song that shines with a nostalgic band sound.

The full-on guitar-pop arrangement and lyrical melody resonate deeply with listeners.

It’s the perfect number for moments when you want to look back on memories of love or reaffirm your feelings for someone special.

BOOSTSnow Man

Snow Man ‘BOOST’ Music Video

This track breaks new ground with its weighty beats and audacious sound.

Released by Snow Man in October 2025, it makes an overwhelming impact.

Distinct from their previous pop idol songs, it features a massive, bass-heavy sound that instantly elevates the listener’s energy.

The music video is a must-see as well: over 300 lights and a troupe of 30 dancers deliver a large-scale, perfectly synchronized performance—truly breathtaking.

It’s a number that embodies pushing limits and embracing challenge.

TRUE LOVESnow Man

Snow Man ‘TRUE LOVE’ Music Video

The song Snow Man released in October 2025 is the lead track from the album “Onko Chishin.” It’s a work that carries the brilliance of classic J-pop and conveys a warm message themed around the small joys and miracles of everyday life, as well as gratitude toward loved ones.

The lyrics, which sing of moments like being captivated once again by the sight of your lover turning around at a meeting spot, and the preciousness of time that passes as a matter of course, communicate a deep, abiding love.

I think it’s perfect as background music for time spent with your partner or family.
