Yuma “Escort” Official Music Video

Yuma, a singer who also works as a member of the YouTube creator group Comdot and has drawn attention for his vocal ability and unpretentious choice of words.

Released in December 2025, “Escort” portrays a clumsy yet warm-hearted resolve to gently lead a loved one—just for today—amid scenes that evoke winter’s chill and plumes of white breath.

From casual conversations in a cafeteria to moments playing in the snow, it tenderly captures the cherished sense of distance between two people in everyday life.

Be sure to give this winter love song a listen.

Masaharu Fukuyama, a singer-songwriter who has long remained at the forefront, returns with a grand ballad released digitally in December 2025.

Written specifically as the theme song for the film Last Man -FIRST LOVE-, in which he also stars, the track features a standout collaboration: Koshi Inaba of B’z contributes lyrics and guest vocals.

The voices of these two leading figures in Japanese music intertwine to deeply move listeners.

It’s a song you’ll want to sink into, expressing a powerful resolve to protect someone dear.

UnveilLuna fīto. Nenne

[Wuthering Waves/Chisaka] Luna – Unveil feat. Nenne

A streaming single by Luna featuring Nenne.

It was written as the image song for Chisaki, a character who appears in the game Wuthering Waves.

The title carries the meaning of “removing the veil,” delicately portraying the character’s hidden inner self and emotions that can’t be shown on the surface.

Luna’s signature sense of speed and crystalline pop sound intertwine with Nenne’s emotive vocals, resulting in a track that resonates deep in the heart.

We recommend it not only to players of Wuthering Waves, but also to anyone looking for emotional music.

GANG PARADE「KIMI☆NO☆OKAGE」Music Video

This is GANG PARADE’s major-label eighth single, released in December 2025.

With lyrics by JxSxK and music by Kayoko Kusano, it’s a rock tune driven by the propulsive power of a band sound.

The message of “gratitude,” embedded in the title, is addressed not only to the members but also to the fans who have linked arms with them at live shows.

Highly recommended for those seeking an energetic track!

Poem of the StarsGRe4N BOYZ

GRe4N BOYZ / “Poem of the Stars” Lyric Video

This song by GRe4N BOYZ was newly written as the ending theme for the 5th National High School Light Music Club Tournament, “we are SNEAKER AGES.” Released in December 2025 as a cheer song for light music clubs at 2,400 schools nationwide, its exhilarating sound and irresistibly bright melody affirm the youthful days devoted to club activities.

A key highlight is that TERU from GLAY participates on vocals.

The piece embodies the shared sentiment between GRe4N BOYZ—formed with friends from their school days and still active—and GLAY: the value of the “view shared with your friends.” It’s a must-listen for anyone striving toward a goal.

Released in December 2025 as a track on the second album “MAGenter,” this song is a mysterious love ballad dominated by strings.

The tension and shading created by the string instruments evoke images of the moon, stars, and night, beautifully portraying the way two people are drawn together in romance.

During recording, the direction was to “sing as you are,” resulting in a free and joyful atmosphere in the studio.

It’s a perfect fit for those who want to experience a mature love story.

PhaseIS:SUE

IS:SUE ‘Phase’ Official MV

The lead track from their fourth single, built around the theme of the moon.

Released for streaming in December 2025, its sound moves between a dreamlike mood and raw passion, vividly reflecting the group’s duality.

Like the moon that changes shape as it waxes and wanes, the song expresses moving forward even while carrying imperfections and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden.

It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone searching for their own true self.
