BreathNEW!Laputa

Laputa, a flagship band of the Nagoya-kei subgenre that steadfastly upheld its own aesthetics in the ’90s visual kei scene.

The winter scenery they depict goes beyond a mere seasonal song, coexisting with taut tension and beauty.

Released as a single in January 1999, this work also reached living rooms as the opening theme of the TV program “Rank Kingdom.” True to its title, within a worldview where even “breath” seems to freeze white, the interplay of aki’s heartrending, piercing vocals and Kouichi’s meticulous guitar work can only be described as art.

Also included on the album “Sho ~Kakera~ Hadaka,” it remains beloved by fans as a signature number from the band’s later period.

It’s a winter masterpiece that lingers in the history of ’90s visual kei, the kind you’ll want to listen to alone on a frigid winter night, sinking into the silence and its profound afterglow.

Number_i is a dance-vocal group consisting of Sho Hirano, Yuta Jinguji, and Yuta Kishi.

Their high musicality—ranging from hip-hop to ballads—really stands out.

Among their songs, the one I recommend to anyone wanting to feel a mature allure is Blow Your Cover.

It’s a medium-tempo ballad set to a smooth, R&B-inspired beat, depicting that frustrating sense of closeness—wanting to touch but being unable to.

Released as a single in April 2024, the track also drew major attention for its music video choreographed by NOPPO.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to quietly on your own, perhaps while feeling the night breeze.

Let yourself get lost in their sweet, heartrending vocals.

Blue ValentineNEW!tetora

Tetra MV “Blue Valentine feat. flower”
Blue ValentineNEW!tetora

This rock number portrays a bittersweet, heartrending mood that contrasts with the sweet scent of chocolate.

Vocaloid producer Tetra, who centers their work on an alternative band sound, wrote and composed the song, which was released in April 2020.

As seen on the 2019 album “factor,” the guitar-driven sense of speed and emotionally charged melodies stand out here as well.

Although the title includes “Valentine,” the song’s appeal lies in a worldview where not only sweetness but also a somewhat cool, “blue” feeling intersects.

Give it a listen when you’re a little worn out by the glittering city atmosphere, or on a night when you want to savor the bitterness of grown-up love.

A song produced by Takeaki Wada, released in May 2019.

Created as the theme song for the event “Magical Mirai 2019,” it carries a powerful message that feels as if it breathes life into Vocaloid.

Its composition, themed around breathing and breath, is captivating; listening to it while watching white, buoyant breaths under a cold sky will make the songstress beyond the screen feel even closer.

Armed Maiden(s)NEW!Chinozo

A pop tune with a Chinese flair that grabs your heart with the “cute yet strong” gap.

Produced by Chinozo, the Vocaloid producer known for the massive hit “Goodbye Declaration,” the video was released in May 2025.

Luo Tianyi’s uniquely resonant vocals intertwine exquisitely with the energetic sound.

The bold stance in the lyrics—describing a lovestruck maiden’s feelings as “armament”—is sure to give you courage.

Recommended for those who want to be a little daring ahead of White Day.

BBoom BBoom-Japanese ver.-momoland

MOMOLAND「BBoom BBoom -Japanese ver.-」Music Video
BBoom BBoom-Japanese ver.-momoland

This is the Japanese version of “BBoom BBoom,” which was a hit in Korea.

It features captivating lyrics and an addictive melody, and because the same melody repeats a lot and can be sung mechanically, it’s great for scoring! The intro feels different from when the actual vocal melody starts, so it should be easier to sing.

The lyrics themselves aren’t difficult, so if you sing each phrase carefully without putting too much emphasis on dynamics, the rhythm will lock in and your pitch should stay on.

The section around the song’s midpoint with lots of English flows quickly, so pay special attention and practice it thoroughly.

VVSChroNoiR

This track weaves together an urban night-inspired beat with sharp, dynamic rap.

It’s a cool number featured on popular VTuber unit ChroNoiR’s album “Wonder Wander World,” released in February 2024.

Written and composed by nqrse, the song highlights the alluring vocals of Kanae and Kuzuha.

Despite being titled with a word that evokes glittering gemstones, the lyrics draw you into a world that embraces inner conflict and constructed facades.

The sophisticated, visually stunning music video has also garnered attention, and the song is beloved as a key piece that instantly raises the energy at live shows.

It’s perfect for a night drive or when you’re in the mood to feel a bit more mature.
