Latest J-Pop Releases [November 2025]

Exclusive fighter≠ME

≠ME (Not Equal Me) / 11th Single “Exclusive Fighter” [MV full] / Haita-teki Fighter (Exclusive Fighter)

The 11th single from ≠ME, the idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.

Portraying the intensity of confronting one’s inner self, this work deliberately eliminates elements of romance and youth, vividly expressing the struggle against a closed-off heart.

The dynamically unfolding sound arrangement meshes perfectly with the members’ razor-sharp vocals.

If you listen when you feel stifled by your current situation, it might give you the courage to break out of your shell.

The taste of loveneguse.

The taste of love

A digital-only single released in November 2025.

In contrast to the lively pop-rock they excel at, this one is crafted as a mid-tempo slow number.

The lyrics look back on a relationship that has already ended, poignantly blending the regret of wishing they’d been more honest about their feelings at the time with the certainty that they were truly happy.

It’s a track that makes you want to revisit past loves—perfect for the chill of the season.

Hypnosisyūri

[MV] Hypnosis / Yuuri [Zenless Zone Zero]

Released in November 2025, this track was created as the image song for Lucia, a character from the popular China-developed action RPG Zenless Zone Zero.

The lyrics, composition, and arrangement were handled by ATOLS, also known as a Vocaloid producer.

It features a distinctive, dreamy yet refined electronic sound.

The lyrics, themed around sleep and the realm of dreams, are rich with storytelling that invites listeners on a fantastical journey.

Perfect for fans who want to immerse themselves in the game’s world!

My loverKoresawa

Koresawa “My Lover” [MUSIC VIDEO]

The happiness of being with someone you love right now, and the anxiety that the relationship might end someday.

A song that gently scoops up these delicate feelings we all carry has been released in November 2025 as the title track of Koresawa’s digital EP “Atashi no Koibito E.P.” Its true-to-life expressions of love, written in conversational phrases, slowly seep into the heart over a gently paced ensemble.

It’s a number we especially recommend to anyone who wants to cherish the time they spend with their partner.

Sentimental - “Hoshi ga Furu” (Falling Stars) Music Video

This is a winter ballad that sings of feelings for someone who was once precious.

Released by Centimillimental in November 2025, the song was written as the commercial theme for the Laguna Illumination “Carnival of Light and Water” held at the Laguna Ten Bosch resort in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture.

Over a grand sound woven by piano and strings, Atsushi’s delicate vocals layer in to depict a poignant world where lingering attachment and bravado intersect.

The protagonist, swaying between wishing happiness for the one they’ve parted from and feelings that won’t fade, presses on your heart alongside the image of light pouring down the winter night sky.

It’s a track I especially hope those trying to look forward after a breakup will listen to.

Phantom Theta 'All Just Bots' (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Phantom Theta’s eighth digital single, “Bot Baka,” is a dance tune that captures a distinctly modern suspicion: falling in love with an ideal match on social media, only to wonder if they’re actually an AI or a bot.

It features a sound that fuses retro disco grooves with Showa-era kayōkyoku-style vocals.

As the protagonist is consumed by a counterfeit romance yet continues to yearn for pure love, her cry pierces the hearts of all who listen.

It’s a track that lets you experience the group’s multifaceted charm.

Morning Musume. ’25 “My Lamentazione” Promotion Edit

A winter song featured on the double A-side single “Teka HAPPY no HAPPY! / Watashi no Raminte Accione (Lamentazione),” set for release in December 2025.

It portrays the wavering feelings of a woman trying to rise after heartbreak.

Arranged by Shunsuke Suzuki, the track is distinguished by a 16-beat groove, and its delicate expression of emotions—where sadness and bravado intersect—strikes a chord.

It’s a bittersweet dance tune that offers comfort to those who have gone through a breakup and are taking a fresh look at themselves.
