Chatmonchy – Shouting, Telephone, Downpour – Zepp Tokyo 2009
to yell, telephone, downpourChatto Monchī

A song whose storm of emotion—woven from the sound of rain and a voice on the phone—won’t leave your ears.

Included on their major-label debut full album Miminari, released in 2006, this track uses the symbolic motifs of a breakup phone call filled with shouts and a fierce downpour to portray emotions that can’t be contained.

The protagonist, who keeps apologizing even while knowing it’s over, embodies the very hesitation we all feel at the moment of parting.

With anger and lingering attachment colliding, this song is sure to resonate when you need to let your feelings out.

How about getting hyped with a rhythmic pop number? This duet by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len is a work released in October 2025 by the Vocaloid producer Surii, known for hits like “Telecaster B-Boy” and “Egorock.” It’s a participating track in “Pokémon feat.

Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE High↑.” True to its title, the lyrics revolve around themes of a pounding heart and anticipation, perfectly matched with Surii’s signature catchy melody lines.

Its energetic sound will instantly brighten listeners’ moods, making it a great choice for livening up wedding receptions or year-end parties!

Douke HeroKuratu

Doke Hero / Kuratu feat. Hatsune Miku
Douke HeroKuratu

This work fuses two opposing figures into one: the comical clown and the saving hero.

Created by Kuratu, it’s set for release in December 2025.

As a multi-creator who handles everything from songwriting and composition to illustration, Kuratu crafts a world where sound and visuals are tightly interwoven.

The lyrics portray the struggle of fighting for others while nearly losing oneself, and the blend of self-mockery and hope stirs the heart.

They smile like a clown, but beneath it lies desperation.

It’s a piece I especially recommend to those who tend to push themselves too hard for someone else.

Dokidoki Don! First Graderssakushi: itō akira / sakkyoku: sakurai jun

A classic song sung at preschools: “Dokidoki Don! First Graders” [Classic graduation and entrance ceremony song / Preschool music]
Dokidoki Don! First Graderssakushi: itō akira / sakkyoku: sakurai jun

This is a song with lyrics by Akira Ito and music by Jun Sakurai that portrays the feelings of children about to enter elementary school.

It was released in 1986 as an insert song on Fuji TV’s Hirake! Ponkikki.

Set to a bright, lighthearted melody, it expresses a mix of excitement and anxiety about a new environment.

Its charm lies in how it carefully conveys, from a child’s perspective, simple feelings like “Will I be able to walk to school by myself?” and “Will I get along with the child sitting next to me?” When sung by the oldest class at a preschool graduation ceremony, it can convey to the teachers the children’s resolve for the new life that lies ahead.

Even as they carry their worries, their willingness to take a step forward is a heartening sign of growth for the teachers.

It’s a song that simultaneously communicates gratitude to the teachers who watched over their days at the preschool and hope for a new beginning.

poofKing Gnu

King Gnu is a band that has gained popularity for its highly original musicality.

While they have many tastefully crafted songs, they’re also known for having plenty of difficult ones.

Among their catalog, the track I especially recommend is Doron.

Known as the theme song for the film “Stolen Identity 2,” it has a gritty atmosphere and a fairly wide vocal range from mid1 A# to hi A#.

On top of that, the melodic leaps up and down are quite intense, but the most challenging parts are the chorus and the C section.

When the chorus and C section hit, the tempo jumps up all at once, leaving few breathing points; combined with the sharp rises and falls in pitch, it makes nailing the intonation extremely difficult.

You’re crazy.dandadan

TV anime Dandadan Season 2 ending video | WurtS - “Douka Shiteru”
You're crazy.dandadan

Sung by WurtS, this track is a pleasant listen that blends dance music elements into a simple, band-driven sound.

It served as the ending theme for season 2 of the anime Dandadan, which features yokai and the supernatural.

The lyrics incorporate the anime’s setting and convey a poignant emotional sway—the frustration of wanting to express your feelings but being clumsy and overcomplicating things.

It’s recommended as party background music with anime-loving friends or for getting hyped at karaoke.

In the pouring rainWada Akiko

This is a song that powerfully moves listeners’ hearts, with young Akiko Wada passionately singing of the deep sorrow of heartbreak amid pouring rain.

The track candidly conveys a woman’s earnest feelings as she cries out her undying love—one she cannot sever—even while carrying the pain of parting from the one she loves.

Its dramatic development and powerful vocals are sure to evoke deep empathy in listeners.

Released in April 1969 as Akiko Wada’s second single, it reached No.

19 on the Oricon chart.

It’s a timeless classic that has been passed down across generations, notably covered by Sambomaster on their 2018 album “Akko ga Omakase.” Though a kayōkyoku number, it brims with the strong rhythms of R&B and soul, making it irresistible for fans of those genres.

It’s also a wonderful choice to try at karaoke when you want to sing with emotion or sink into a bittersweet mood.
