Ambiguous ElegyDECO*27
It’s a high-energy song, and not just the chorus—you can pour your heart into the verses too and really belt it out, which feels incredibly refreshing.
DECO’s songs have wonderful music videos that draw you in, so listeners can enjoy watching as well as listening—two birds with one stone.
Highly recommended.
Everlasting friendshipHyadain
It was the opening theme of the anime “Nichijou.” Since it’s a song by Hyadain, it’s fast-paced, but the tempo is really good.
The anime visuals are included, so everyone can sing along and have fun together.
If you sing clearly and energetically, both you and those around you will enjoy it even more.
It’s not because he’s a boy that it’s cute!Hoshino Yuna
Hoshino Yuna’s debut track that drew attention as a cute pop song.
While putting her adorableness front and center, the lyrics carry a message that emphasizes self-expression and independence.
Released in April 2023, the song was produced in collaboration with HoneyWorks.
Aimed at young women, it highlights the value of staying true to yourself and is sure to resonate across generations even at parties.
It’s especially recommended for times when you want to hype things up with a group of female friends.
It’s a song that showcases Hoshino’s multifaceted talent, so be sure to check it out!
HOT LIMITT.M.Revolution
I get the impression it was popular a little while back, but plenty of young people still know it, and I often see it used in school festival performances.
It seems to have a lasting popularity.
The artist’s appearance is very eccentric, so I think it’s a song that leaves a strong impression.
WOW WOR TONIGHT ~Sometimes Start a Movement~H Jungle with T
A classic karaoke song guaranteed to get a big crowd going.
It’s the well-known 1995 mega-hit created through the collaboration of Masatoshi Hamada from Downtown and music producer Tetsuya Komuro.
It starts with a laid-back reggae-style groove, then gradually builds into a more rousing rhythm before exploding at the chorus—almost as if it’s designed to pull everyone in and hype up the room.
It’s an uplifting anthem that says, “Don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine,” a sing-along number that lets you feel a sense of unity with coworkers and friends.
Falling (feat. Taka)JINTAKA
A dream collaboration between BTS’s Jin and ONE OK ROCK’s Taka has come to life.
This work is a new version of a track included on Jin’s first solo album, “Happy.” The lyrics delicately portray the ache of unrequited love and a powerful longing for the other person, and Jin’s and Taka’s distinctive vocals blend beautifully.
Released on November 26, 2024, the song falls under the rock-pop genre and has captured the hearts of not only fans of both artists but a wide range of music lovers.
It’s a perfect track for those struggling with love or finding it hard to express their true feelings.
Be sure to give it a listen on a quiet night.
S’il vous plaît, PresidentPmaru-sama.
This hit song is by multi-entertainer P-Maru-sama, who is active mainly on YouTube and TikTok.
Released in March 2013, it surpassed 100 million streams and music video views in about eight months! The song’s title was nominated for the 2021 TikTok Buzzword Awards, generating huge buzz.
It’s a high-impact track that forcefully speaks for the majority opinion—“Cheating is absolutely not okay!”—using striking expressions.
Recreate the comical dance and line-delivery performance to liven up your party!
