Go Back Home

It’s a mellow, sexy, and mood-rich ambient track that’s so characteristic of him—truly chill.

Breaking out on social media as part of the chillwave genre, he’s influenced many artists in Japan as well.

FKJ, who’s highly regarded as an exceptional talent in the scene, generally creates calm tracks that unfold with slow tempos and beautiful soundscapes.

Songs like this work great as background music, and I think they’re most effective when played at a moderate volume.

Give it a try!

It’s Ok, B UKiefer

Kiefer – “It’s Ok, B U” (Official Visualizer)

Kiefer’s 2023 album “It’s Ok, B U” is the perfect background music for anyone who wants to focus on studying or work.

The tracks, blending elements of jazz and electronic music, are easy on the ears—calming yet inspiring.

The exquisite harmony between piano and beats is sure to evoke deep emotions.

Its roughly 50-minute runtime flies by and will likely boost your productivity.

If you’re looking for a well-rounded playlist, I highly recommend this album.

Perfect Day310

310 (Sato) “Perfect Day” MV (Anime ‘I’m a Guild Receptionist, but I Hate Overtime, so I’m Going to Solo the Boss’ Opening Theme)

Born from scenes of refreshing mornings and dusky twilights, this song gently portrays the special moments hidden in everyday life.

310’s crystal-clear vocals deliver a warm message of encouragement to everyone working hard each day.

The track has been available since January 2025 as the opening theme for the anime “I’m the Guild Receptionist, but I Don’t Like Overtime, So I’m Going to Solo the Boss.” Composed by Ryutaro Fujinaga of Elements Garden, the piece beautifully blends a driving rock sound with a pure, graceful melody, tenderly resonating with listeners.

It’s the perfect song for when you’re worn out from work or need energy for tomorrow.

For those giving their all every day, it’s sure to bring comfort and courage.

Electric (feat. Khalid)Alina Baraz

Alina Baraz – Electric ft. Khalid (Official Audio)

Female vocalist Alina Baraz, known for R&B that intersects with chillout and ambient, and producer Galimatias made a name for themselves with the album Urban Flora, released on the prestigious EDM label Ultra Music.

This work features a track with Khalid, who already stands at the forefront of the R&B scene.

They are proven talents who have even performed at Coachella, the largest festival in the U.S., and the exotic track pairs perfectly with her sultry vocals.

Billie Eilish – bitches broken hearts (Official Audio)

The title might sound a bit indecent, but the vibe is calm, and I think it works well as background music.

On the other hand, it might not be ideal for people who have a deep understanding of English.

Billie Eilish, the American singer-songwriter known for her whispery vocal style, recorded this track before her big breakthrough—in other words, pre-Bad Guy.

It’s chill and mysterious, yet it also has a mellow feel that’s really lovely.

If you’re even a little bit of a fan, give it a listen.

NomadClairo

Clairo – Nomad

While drawing on the style of a traditional singer-songwriter and elements of indie pop, Clairo crafts a uniquely her own world.

This track portrays an inner struggle between loneliness and the desire for connection with others.

It features a warm sound inspired by ’70s jazz and psychedelic folk.

Released in June 2024, it is included on the album “Charm,” which came out in July of the same year.

In September, she held five-day residency shows in Los Angeles and New York, with tickets selling out in minutes.

With its profound lyrics and refined sound that express self-exploration and emotional conflict, this work is recommended for moments when you want to focus quietly or calm your mind.

Daniel Avery – Glass

A techno artist renowned as the post–Aphex Twin.

As with this work, the way ambient techno tones ride over heavy beats feels fresh.

He spans a wide range—from proper, floor-ready techno to ambient pieces for listening—and even within that variety, you can sense a solid musicality.

His look is cool, too—sleek and sharp—and in that regard, I think he’s quite different from Aphex Twin.
