[Songs that portray a sense of urgency] Masterpieces about emotional turmoil & exhilarating tracks that blow away anxiety (31–40)
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE
Especially when they weave harmonies in the chorus, the openness of the upper part feels uniquely ALFEE.
The tempo itself is slow—or rather, moderate—but the way the drums are used, the sense of push and pull, the way the bass is played, and the use of synthesizers all create quite a bustling impression.
Everlasting friendshipHyadain
A song that was used as the opening theme for the anime “Nichijou,” characterized by its fast tempo and a mix of lyrics whose meaningful translations are unclear.
Uniquely, even the female vocal parts are sung by Hyadain himself using voice transformation.
HARD RAINFukuyama Masaharu
A little-known gem that serves as a sub-track to “Let’s Become a Single Family.” Just when you think it’s entering the chorus, it turns out to be the pre-chorus, and the actual chorus lifts it even higher—its distinctive appeal lies in that build-up.
It’s moderately fast, and you could say it has a Fukuyama Masaharu-like vibe.
N.O.Denki Gurūvu
A thoroughly negative song.
The vocal melody itself is very relaxed, but the underlying melodic lines are intricate, and the fast, rhythmically pulsing programming creates a distinctive sense of drive.
Another notable feature is how the arrangement grows more diverse as the track progresses.
Glitter Flatter ScatterProject B-
It’s the very last song you unlock in the music game jubeat Qubell.
There are no lyrics.
Its irregular phrasing is distinctive, and the track has dramatic ups and downs, with sections that calm down and others where more layers build up.
The opening synthesizer tone is extremely memorable.

MOTOR MAN Keikyu VVVFSUPER BELL”Z
“Huh? What is this… a train?” That’s right.
It’s a train.
The tempo of the song itself is on the subdued side, but we’ve packed it full of sounds from train motors and impressions of conductors and drivers, making sure it never feels monotonous.
I think it’s a track that both railway enthusiasts and those who aren’t can enjoy.
GLITTERPerfume
A song by Perfume from four years ago.
You might know Laser Beam and Spring of Life, but this track may not be as well-known.
GLITTER features a strikingly distinctive melody line—intense, high-pitched repetitions that evoke something sparkling, just like the title.
