He’s a singer-songwriter who rose to prominence on YouTube and has been drawing nationwide attention since around 2020.
His new track, Kimochi no Ito (“Threads of Feelings”), is an orthodox J-pop ballad that leans on acoustic sounds throughout, enveloping the song in a languid, melancholic atmosphere.
It’s perfect for chilling out—be sure to give it a listen.
Sing, sky of JapanSazan Ōrusutāzu
Known by the nickname “Southern,” Southern All Stars are a five-member rock band that enjoys immense popularity as one of the quintessential sounds of the Japanese summer.
Their fifth digital-only single, Utae Nippon no Sora (“Sing, Sky of Japan”), released with the tagline “With love/Amore and gratitude to every hometown—Arigat-to!!,” was chosen as the theme song for Chigasaki Live 2023.
Its Latin sound, evoking a tropical sea, creates a quintessentially Southern All Stars ensemble with a subtle, buoyant drift.
A laid-back arrangement that relaxes the mind, it’s a pleasantly soothing number.

Singer-songwriter Taichi Mukai grew up cherishing music and has crafted a unique appeal with his genre-defying style.

Its message—about an unshakable conviction that won’t change no matter what others say or think—evokes a strength that stands firm against the unreasonable pressures of the social media era.
With its relaxed tempo, it’s also a fun, karaoke-friendly pop tune I highly recommend.

The song that instantly makes me think of my hometown is Ikimono-gakari’s “Kaeritaku Nattayo.” It’s a grand ballad driven by piano and strings.
Released as a single in 2008, it was written as the theme song for the Toho-distributed film “Sand Chronicles.” The single version is included on the album “My song Your song,” along with an acoustic arrangement.
It’s a heartfelt ballad I especially want people who are living away from their hometowns and doing their best to hear.
