Jinmenusagi – Uso sa (Official Video)

If you want to boost your focus in silence, this is the track to play—performed by rapper Jinmenusagi! Hokuto’s lyrical beat and the calm, steady flow feel soothing, while the lyrics carry a quiet intensity as they depict dialogues with the past and an acceptance of reality.

Released on the album “ALXVE” in November 2025, this song also drew attention as a kind of sequel created about 11 years after the classic “LXVE -Gyoho-so-.” On those nights when you’re immersed in studying, do you ever suddenly feel lonely or anxious? Listen to this then, and it will gently—but powerfully—give you a push forward.

It’s a perfect track to deepen your immersion during late-night study sessions!

“I want to shake off my drowsiness and jump straight into focus mode!” When you feel like that, this work by Indra, a producer from Israel, is just the thing.

The lyric-free, quintessentially psychedelic trance’s exhilarating, driving beats and exotic, mystical sounds gently stimulate your brain and wake you up.

It’s the second track on the album “Killer Machine,” released in June 2006, and it’s characterized by a powerful groove that has been electrifying dance floors since back then.

It’s the perfect companion for studying when you want to keep a steady tempo—like for repetitive tasks or memorization.

Surrender yourself to this roughly seven-minute sonic journey, and distracting thoughts will fade away—before you know it, you’ll find your text moving along on its own!

A refined instrumental number with a gentle, unhurried flow.

This piece is a collaboration between France-based beatmaker L’Indécis and ØDYSSEE, a favorite in the lo-fi scene.

Released in September 2025, it was also included on the popular compilation album “Lofi Girl – Back to school,” and has become a well-loved BGM choice for studying and getting work done.

L’Indécis has previously released albums such as “Plethoria,” and his jazzy sound design remains firmly intact here.

The warm groove, distilled into about two minutes, is perfect both for boosting concentration and for a relaxing break with a cup of coffee.

When your concentration starts to fade while studying and you want to switch up your mood with a groove, I recommend a track by SIRUP.

Its polished R&B sound weaves seamlessly with Daichi Yamamoto’s rap, creating a stylish song that will have your body swaying before you know it.

Released in July 2025, it’s a pivotal piece at the core of the album OWARI DIARY.

The beat, produced by KM, should resonate comfortably even during late-night study sessions.

Even when you hit a wall and think, “I can’t do this anymore,” letting yourself sink into the groove of this track might help you relax your shoulders and find the energy to get back to your desk.

Give it a spin when you need a change of pace or a companion for a late-night final push.
