Centered around JQ and known for their sophisticated sound, Nulbarich teams up with rapper PUNPEE on this track, released in August 2023 and included on the album “The Roller Skating Tour.” The interplay between JQ’s soothing vocals and PUNPEE’s sardonic rap makes for an outstanding ensemble.

I hope you’ll take time to really listen to the lyrics, which question a more human form of love.

It’s a chic, mellow number that pairs perfectly with a contemplative nighttime walk through the city.

An Uncertain Night

A chilled-out number brimming with charm, crafted by SUKISHA, who’s both a singer and a track maker.

It’s the kind of piece you’ll want to listen to on those helplessly anxious nights when you find yourself lost in thought alone.

The track is defined by a sophisticated production rooted in Black music, with whisper-like vocals and a comfortable beat that gently fills the room.

This song is included on the eight-track album “Beside Your Bedside,” released in March 2019.

It’s perfect for nights when you’re feeling vaguely uneasy about the future or relationships, and makes a great companion for studying or taking a walk.

Its calm, mellow sound will soothe your heart.

chilldspot, a band hugely supported by people their age.

This track, which they made while still in high school, features a mellow R&B-driven groove that feels incredibly smooth.

While the song centers on the theme of “the beautiful aspects of sexuality,” it also delicately portrays the inner conflicts and subtle, realistic emotions that lie beneath.

Its slightly mature worldview—like facing your true self on a quiet night after the neon lights have gone out—will likely resonate gently with university students.

The song is included on the November 2020 EP “the youth night,” and was later used as an insert track in the film Thorn of Love.

It’s a perfect number to accompany a solitary nighttime walk for reflection or to help you focus while studying.

Whether you listen on nights chased by deadlines or during a quiet solo walk, you’ll feel a warmth that gently nudges you forward.

Be sure to add it to your playlist.

This track, with its floating beats and mellow groove, is a pleasure to listen to.

It’s a collaboration between trackmaker tofubeats and rapper Onomatopedaijin, released in June 2012.

The glittering, urban sound that evokes a city’s nightscape meshes perfectly with a slightly dreamlike worldview that unfolds while depicting everyday life.

The song is also included on tofubeats’s album “Lost Decade.” It drew attention again in February 2022 when it was featured in a Suntory Horoyoi commercial.

On nights when you’re chased by deadlines, take a walk and listen—you might sink into a sentimental mood.

It’s also a calming number recommended for the moments before studying, when you want to clear your mind.

Yuga – June

This is a work by singer-songwriter Yuga, whose minimal and refined sound is soothing.

Through depictions like rainy-day scenes and the moon floating in the night sky, the song expresses an introspective state of mind that quietly tries to accept oneself despite doubt and imperfection.

The track is included on the mini-album “Meguru,” released in May 2019.

Whether you put it on while studying in a café or walking alone at night, its cool sonic palette and delicate yet powerful vocals may help calm a restless heart.

Singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who had been posting piano performance videos since childhood and drawing attention for his exceptional technique.

Released in December 2019, this track later became a core piece of his debut album, HELP EVER HURT NEVER.

It features a sound defined by a minimalist, hip-hop-influenced beat interwoven with gospel-style choruses.

The lyrics, which step away from entanglements like competition and the desire for approval to free the self, gently resonate with hearts weary of the daily clamor.

Rather than resignation, it’s a song that offers a positive sense of release, embracing everything and moving forward.
