DAHLIAX JAPAN

It’s a song that truly epitomizes X JAPAN at their best, fusing speed metal with a majestic symphonic sound.

Released in February 1996, it topped the Oricon charts and later served as an advance single from the band’s final studio masterpiece, DAHLIA.

The world depicted by Yoshiki’s lyrics evokes tragedy hidden behind splendor and the anguished cries of a soul torn by inescapable fate.

As thunderous drums collide with delicate piano melodies, Toshi’s heartrending yet powerful high vocals resound with overwhelming impact.

Listen to it on a night when you feel crushed by uncontrollable emotions, and its passionate sound will stay close to your heart.

A heartwarming song that teaches the importance of joining forces with your friends.

This track was used as the ending theme for the 1982 film Doraemon: Nobita and the Haunts of Evil.

The vocalist, Makoto Iwabuchi, also handled the theme songs for the previous year’s “Kokoro o Yurashite” and the following year’s “Umi wa Bokura to,” making him one of the singers who helped define Doraemon films of that era.

Even if your own courage is small, you can become strong when you’re together with everyone—this message resonates with the film’s story of friendship and is truly moving.

It’s a song that, when you feel a bit uneasy, brings your friends’ faces to mind and gives you courage!

MAS-RAO is a project unit from NIJISANJI.

This track, handled by the “Go” (Hard) side, is one of the songs included on MAS-RAO 1st, released in August 2025.

It’s a hard-hitting mixture rock tune that portrays the clashes of glint-eyed men, with lyrics brimming with a hungry, upstart spirit that stoke the listener’s fighting instincts.

When you want to overcome something or need the strength to claw your way up from the bottom, listening to it will surely give you a push forward.

DaijoubuOda Kazumasa

This work is a single released by Kazumasa Oda in April 2007, written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Don to Hare.” Its gentle, warm melodic line and Oda’s clear, soaring high-tone voice resonate pleasantly.

The lyrics affirm the strength to never yield to hardship and gently give listeners a push forward, deeply mirroring the drama’s story.

Included on the album “Jiko Best-2,” the song was later adopted as the departure melody on the Shinkansen platform at JR Morioka Station, and remains a beloved classic to this day.

It’s a heartwarming track that’s perfect to listen to on a morning when you’re starting a new day.
