Many of you may remember it playing with Ichiro Yamaguchi’s narration in the Honda “Insight” commercial.

It’s a song Sakanaction released to the world in July 2011 as the B-side to the single “Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Seidesu.” It portrays the determination to keep believing in the unchanging things within oneself, even while being exposed to the currents of the times.

While rooted in R&B, Che’Nelle has masterfully captured the emotional essence of J-pop.

Her song “Sono Mama de Ii yo,” released in December 2025, is a message to everyone living in a stressful society.

It gently affirms that you don’t have to strive for perfection, it’s okay to run away, and you should accept yourself just as you are—words of warmth woven through her embracing vocals.

It’s a song that quietly stays by the side of those feeling worn out by daily life or prone to blaming themselves.

Again Aぇ! group

A track whose lyric video premiered in December 2025 and the lead song from their second album, “Runway,” released in February 2026.

It’s a powerful anthem that fuses soaring vocals with a dazzling brass sound.

The message, which gives you the courage to take off running, echoes their own determination and sets listeners’ hearts ablaze.

It’s an uptempo tune you’ll want to play when you’re about to take on a challenge.

UnveilLuna fīto. Nenne

[Wuthering Waves/Chisaka] Luna – Unveil feat. Nenne
UnveilLuna fīto. Nenne

A streaming single by Luna featuring Nenne.

It was written as the image song for Chisaki, a character who appears in the game Wuthering Waves.

The title carries the meaning of “removing the veil,” delicately portraying the character’s hidden inner self and emotions that can’t be shown on the surface.

Luna’s signature sense of speed and crystalline pop sound intertwine with Nenne’s emotive vocals, resulting in a track that resonates deep in the heart.

We recommend it not only to players of Wuthering Waves, but also to anyone looking for emotional music.

ShareYU-KI

This piece was written as the theme song for the theatrical anime “Those Who Steal This Book,” released on December 26, 2025.

Its radiant ensemble of strings and horns creates a soaring sense of immersion, drawing you into the world of the story.

The lyrics express a desire to cherish those fleeting moments when paths cross, even if we can’t fully understand one another—an idea that resonates with YUKI’s own words that the immersive experiences of reading and music are alike.

It’s the perfect number for times when you want to feel a connection with someone.

FarewellAZKi

AZKi, a singer from hololive who continues to lead the virtual scene with her emotionally expressive vocals and unique virtual worldview.

This piece, which closed out her solo concert “Departure” held in November 2025, is a grand ballad that concludes the story of the EPs “Re:Start” and “Re:Birth,” released around the same time.

Its lyrics gently affirm one’s past self and express gratitude, offering deep comfort to those who might feel stuck due to loneliness or regret.

It’s a moving number that conveys a firm resolve for a new departure.

i love youchanmina

Released in October 2025 as the theme song for the TBS drama “Fake Mommy,” this piece is a love song that Chanmina crafted while confronting herself.

The deliberately lowercase title reflects a desire to express vulnerability and wavering without hiding them.

It carefully portrays the urge to affirm oneself through another’s gaze, as well as the conflicted resolve to stay despite the pain because of deep affection.

Give it a listen when you’re at a turning point in life.
