Among jazz bands, JiLL-Decoy association stands out for their exceptional taste.

Known as “Jill-Deco,” they’ve been attracting attention from hardcore music aficionados.

Of all their songs, the one I especially recommend is Before You Put On the Dress.

It’s a highly intricate jazz number, and right before the instrumental break a mixed voice comes in.

The arrangement moves from mixed voice into falsetto, making it a great pick for anyone looking to strengthen the connection between their chest and head voice.

Jonas Blue, a popular DJ from the UK who has released many hits in the tropical house genre, dropped a collaboration track with the American boy band Why Don’t We titled “Don’t Wake Me Up” in January 2022.

True to Jonas’s style, it’s a chic, pop-infused dance track with a glamorous yet slightly bittersweet melody.

The bouncing piano riff and the sweet vocals of Why Don’t We deliver an irresistibly catchy performance.

If they told you, “I finally found you,” many listeners would surely feel their hearts skip a beat.

That said, the overall lyrics can also be read as lingering feelings for someone after a breakup, which makes the phrase “don’t wake me up” in the title all the more poignant.

If you’re interested, try reading a Japanese translation of the lyrics and then give the song another listen.

DOKOKEN-U

A song set against the backdrop of the city at night, capturing moments of encounters and farewells.

With the heat of club music and the clamor of the metropolis as its background, it vividly portrays the passion and loneliness of youth.

Its rhythmic sound, infused with reggae and dancehall elements, will make listeners want to dance.

Included on the compilation album “ESCAPE,” released in November 2003, it generated major buzz in the club scene.

It was later re-released in 2005 as an indie album of the same name and became a huge hit, selling around 200,000 copies.

Perfect for nighttime drives or fun times with friends.

With KEN-U’s distinctive vocals, it’s sure to become a wonderful track that colors a page of your youth.

KIRA is a female R&B singer from Osaka Prefecture.

Because she frequently collaborates with reggae deejays and singjays, she’s often mistaken for a reggae singer, but she has stayed true to R&B since the beginning of her career and is highly regarded in both the R&B and reggae scenes.

One of her signature songs, Don’t text me, was released in the summer of 2020 and features a tropical sound that evokes the season.

You can sense a reggae flavor in the way the track is put together.

A danceable city pop song that sings, “Even in an unchanging, boring everyday life, as long as you’re there, that’s enough.” It’s a track by Vocaloid producer KOPO, released in 2021.

Centered on a funky bassline, it unfolds a stylish sound—and within that lively sonic landscape, you can feel a touch of wistfulness, making it a wonderfully deep piece.

Miku’s cute vocals match the mood perfectly.

Be sure to turn up the volume and give it a listen.

This is the song that was used as the ending theme for the anime Magical Girl Squad Alice, which aired within NHK Educational’s Tensai Bit-kun.

The singer is KOTOKO, who was also active as a vocalist for I’ve, a creator team that produces music for anime, games, and films.

Her charming, youthful-sounding voice is striking, isn’t it? While the overall feel of the track isn’t scary or eerie like Halloween, the lyrics—centered on the theme of a magical girl—leave a strong impression.

The positive message woven into the song is another highlight!
