A song themed around the Japanese syllabary (11–20)
My heart, hard pinch.sōtaisei riron
Included as the seventh track on the 2010 album “Synchroniciteen.” Its charm lies in a laid-back, poppy sound; unique lyrics that weave in the Japanese syllabary; and Etsuko Yakushimaru’s cute vocals, tinged with a languid, coquettish allure.
Word Bouncer ProDōji-T
Included as the sixth track on the second major album “Dōmu,” released in 2005.
Truly colorful—the sense for diverse word choice is overwhelming.
The hardcore, underground vibe of the track is addictive as well.
It’s said they’re also acquainted with former snowboarder Melo Imai.
Don’t dance.Hitsuji Bungaku
Included as the fourth track on the 2017 debut EP “Tunneling Through.” When faced with your adorable self, words just won’t come out—words are powerless in front of you! Although it sings about a tangled love affair, the simple female vocals and aggressive rock sound feel pleasant and leave you feeling refreshed.
THIS IS IT !Maita Rui (Enoki Junya)
A solo song by Rui Maita, a male idol from THE IDOLM@STER SideM.
True to his background as a former English teacher, it’s a peaceful track that blends Japanese and English, conveying the idea of overcoming language barriers.
The voice actor Junya Enoki also voices characters such as Kunihiro Horikawa in Touken Ranbu.
General Semantics and Aristotlesoredemo sekai ga tsuzuku nara
Included as the second track on the 2013 third album “I Want to Hand You a Weapon.” While it feigns to be just a string of ABCs, the lyrics reveal a desperate desire to believe in the power of words more than anyone else, yet the rock sound brims with pent-up frustration and a dilemma born from knowing there are things more important than words.
Though colors are fragrantchiaki naomi
A single released in 1992.
It is included as the first track on the 2007 album “Kagerou ~Iro wa Nioedo~.” The lyrics were written by writer Shizuka Ijūin, who received the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 2016, and the music was composed by composer Kyōhei Tsutsumi, who received the same medal in 2003.
In 1992, following the death of her husband, she retired from the entertainment industry.
A song themed around the Japanese syllables a-i-u-e-o (21–30)
Midsummer Orion welcomes MINMI and 10-FEETINFINITY16
The second single, released in 2007.
A summer fling, a drive date to the beach, the sweet-and-sour taste of unrequited love, and the magic words for two people in love who want to get closer: A-I-U-E-O.
Beyond the dramatic lyrics, the drama-style music video is also a must-see.
