I really, really, really, really, really hate it.Ame Ryou

Dai-Dai-Dai-Dai-Dai I Hate You / Amala feat. Hatsune Miku VS Kasane Teto
I really, really, really, really, really hate it.Ame Ryou

This is a track where Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto clash intensely.

Released in March 2025 and issued as the artist’s first nationally distributed single, it drew attention on multiple fronts, including a feature on the TV show “Buzz Rhythm 02” and inclusion in the rhythm games “Ongeki” and “Taiko no Tatsujin.” The lyrics, which depict a codependent relationship and craving for validation—hurling insults at each other yet unable to part—really hit home.

The music video’s striking red-and-blue contrast and the easy-to-copy choreography also became talking points.

Crank it up and enjoy.

I love you soooo much!HY

This is a song that served as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Girl I Like in Okinawa Is So Dialect-Heavy It Hurts,” which began airing in January 2025.

Created by HY from Okinawa, it blends the traditional sound of the sanshin with a lively rock vibe.

Amid the brightness that evokes a tropical breeze, it’s filled with the bittersweet ache and frustration of being in love.

There must be many people who want to confess their feelings to someone they like but just can’t take that final step.

Simply listening will make your heart race, and its positive energy—so infectious you’ll want to start dancing—will gently nudge you forward.

It’s a must-listen for anyone hoping to muster the courage to give someone chocolate.

Dahliachanmina

Not only as a rapper but also with her outstanding vocal ability, Chanmina captivates many listeners.

This piece, which closes her EP “Bijin” released in April 2021, is a standout ballad that sings of the pain and earnest wishes behind beauty.

In contrast to the sharp messaging of the title track “Bijin,” the vocals—evoking even the passionate intensity of enka—seem to resonate deep within the listener’s heart.

Although it has no official tie-ins, its live performances and the lingering impact of its visuals have become talking points, and the song enjoys enduring popularity among fans.

Please give it a listen when you feel pained by comparisons with others or on nights when you want to face your own vulnerability.

“Daikoubutsu,” the 45th single, was written as the theme song for the film What Did You Eat Yesterday? The Movie and released digitally in November 2021.

It’s a comforting pop tune with a warm yet slightly bittersweet melody that complements the story’s world, paired with a supple band sound.

The overall tempo is calm and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s easy to sing at karaoke if you set the key to suit your voice.

The chorus melody avoids extreme high notes and complex runs, letting you sing comfortably while giving weight to the lyrics.

Later included on the album Himitsu Studio, this song reminds you of the importance of everyday life.

It’s perfect for singing while thinking of someone special—definitely a track to add to your repertoire.

Organic Acid / ewe “Darling” feat. Hatsune Miku Lyric Video
dɑ'ːrliŋyūkisan

Released in December 2025 as a track on the album “Six.” It is one of six songs themed around the “six realms of reincarnation.” Beginning with a proclamation of the end, the lyrics convey the chill of reality, division, and a heartrending yearning for salvation that resonates deeply.

The pairing of Hatsune Miku’s innocent vocals with the eerily alluring sound arrangement is a perfect match.

If you like it, be sure to check out the other tracks on the album too.

Dance! Party! at the housing complex!Dohatsuten feat. Kiyosaku (MONGOL800)

This is a down-to-earth number that brings back memories of the smell of dinner drifting from some apartment at dusk in a housing complex.

It’s a collaboration between the rock band Dohatsuten and Kiyosaku from MONGOL800, included as the title track of the single “Danchi de DAN! RAN!” released in July 2013.

It served as the opening theme for the NHK General TV anime “Danchi Tomoo.” The lively back-and-forth between Masuko and Kiyosaku and the four-on-the-floor rhythm will lift your spirits just by listening.

It’s guaranteed to make you crave a steaming plate of curry rice.
