DESTINYnegoto
The single released in June 2015, used as the ending theme for the TV anime Gintama°, is a track that epitomizes Negoto’s musical style.
Its synth sound rides on a groovy rhythm, complemented by Sachiko Aoyama’s transparent, airy vocals that resonate pleasantly.
Centered on the grand theme of fate, the lyrics portray a protagonist who, though uncertain, strives to move forward—something many listeners will relate to.
The keyword repeated in the chorus sticks in your head, giving the song an addictive quality that makes you want to play it again and again.
The track was later included on the album ETERNALBEAT and is known as a signature song from the period when Negoto fused danceable elements with their band sound.
It’s an emotional pop tune that combines a sense of speed with refreshing exhilaration.
Dear…Nishino Kana
This song, which expresses overflowing feelings during time spent apart, is included on Kana Nishino’s eighth single, “Dear…/MAYBE,” released in December 2009.
Chosen as the official song for NTT Docomo’s “Do Your Best, Exam Takers ’09–’10” campaign, it carries a message of support for students preparing for exams.
It doesn’t depict a breakup—just a brief time when the two can’t meet—yet it conveys, with refreshing directness, the aching longing that arises, and the sense that with you by my side, I can overcome any hardship, all set to an R&B-tinged pop ballad.
It’s a poignant winter love song that we especially recommend to those in long-distance relationships or anyone feeling the loneliness of not being able to see someone precious.
Legendary GirlMizuki Arisa
The debut single, released in May 1991, is a mid-tempo song written and composed by Ami Ozaki.
Depicting a girl who dreams of one day becoming the heroine of a sparkling story, the track features vocals mature beyond her 14 years and a graceful melody, earning the New Artist Award at the 33rd Japan Record Awards.
As the theme song for Kirin Beverage’s Chasse commercial, it became a household talking point and peaked at No.
5 on the Oricon charts.
Marking a confident first step as a singer, this work remains an enduring anthem that continues to encourage all who chase their dreams.
DestinyInagaki Junichi
This song was included on the album HEART & SOUL, released in April 1989, and was used as the image song for JT’s “Sometime World Cup ’89.” Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics depict a fateful romance between two people setting off away from the city, carefully tracing emotions that sway between forbidden freedom, a sense of guilt, and love.
Vivid imagery—like a seaside station and a trap they’re falling into—creates a bittersweet yet romantic world.
Arranged by Akira Nishimoto, the layered sound of strings and saxophones, paired with Inagaki’s enveloping vocals, evokes the urbane sophistication characteristic of city pop.
It’s hard not to be moved by the story of two people drawn to each other while being buffeted by fate.
Departures ~A Song of Ai for You~EGOIST
A debut single from EGOIST that resonates with unreachable feelings and firm resolve.
Released in 2011, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Guilty Crown.
Chelly’s vocals delicately convey the poignant lyrics centered on parting and new beginnings.
The song intertwines feelings for a precious person with the determination to move forward.
It’s recommended when you need the courage to take a step into the new year.
Deep downAimer
Set against a heavy soundscape that captures the sensation of sinking into darkness, this track was featured as the ending theme for Episode 9 of Chainsaw Man.
Its deep introspection, which seems to symbolize the story’s serious turn, is especially compelling.
The lyrics were written by Aimer herself under the name aimerrhythm, with composition by Kazuma Nagasawa and arrangement by Kenji Tamai and Rui Momota.
Released in December 2022 as the title track of the mini-album Deep down, it blends a dreamy arrangement of strings and synthesizers with her husky, resonant vocals that truly strike a chord.
It’s a song that speaks to the depths of your emotions—one to listen to when you want to confront life and death, and the conflicts within.
D-tecnoLifeUVERworld
A high-energy major debut track that blends rock with electronic elements.
It’s the song that sparked UVERworld’s breakthrough, released in July 2005.
Since it was used as the opening theme for the anime BLEACH, anyone who watched it back then has probably heard it at least once! The sound—fusing guitar riffs with beatboxing—showcases UVERworld’s unique character.
The title carries the meaning of “pursuing a cool life,” delivering a passionate message that inspires you to keep moving forward.
