[Songs that portray a sense of urgency] Masterpieces about emotional turmoil & exhilarating tracks that blow away anxiety (31–40)
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.
asking for the moonKANA-BOON
It’s one of KANA-BOON’s signature songs, depicting the mismatch in feelings between lovers.
While the tempo and melody line are very straightforward, the drum build-up in the chorus is distinctive, and the provocative lyrics keep it engaging.
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.
Romance overflowsGesu no Kiwami Otome.
From the rapid-fire piano at the start to the chorus where Enon Kawatani’s beautiful falsetto becomes strikingly distinctive, this track is truly unique.
Overall, the finely detailed drum patterns and the seamless rise and fall of the vocal melody come together at a high tempo, which is impressive.
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.

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.
