A collection of stylish tracks: those catchy songs you hear on the street (1–10)

Zero -ZERO-Fukuyama Masaharu

Masaharu Fukuyama – Zero (LIVE at Budokan 2018) Theatrical Feature “Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer” Collaboration Music Clip (Short ver.)
Zero -ZERO-Fukuyama Masaharu

A track by Masaharu Fukuyama chosen as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer.

With comfortably stylish guitar strumming, it became a popular theme not only among Fukuyama’s fans but also Conan fans.

The lyrics, tailored to the movie and closely tied to the character Amuro, are one of the song’s charms.

Adding even more flair and coolness is the trumpet’s tone.

The horns elevate both the passionate melody and the lyrics’ search for an answer to which is right—truth or justice.

It’s a stylish song that still fires you up.

This is a captivating disco-funk style track full of urban sounds.

Its groovy, danceable rhythm grabs listeners and won’t let go.

The lyrics skillfully weave in satire and social commentary, sounding an alarm about the information overload of modern times.

Released by Suchmos in February 2018, it was featured in Honda’s VEZEL commercial.

The comfortable beat driven by the synthesizer bass and the fusion with jazzy sounds make it a song that will soothe you in a city café.

It’s perfect for relaxing at home or creating a stylish atmosphere—be sure to give it a listen.

Many of you might know him from his days competing in MC battles, right? This track—arguably his breakout—features an irresistibly mellow, chill vibe and a gentle flow that’s truly captivating.

At the same time, the lyrics, which paint a bittersweet love story using familiar, everyday language, feel relatable and approachable.

That exquisite balance feels very contemporary, and I imagine it instantly won over younger listeners.

It’s a song I’d love even people who don’t usually listen to hip-hop to try at least once.

I can't forget it.Sakanakushon

A number by Sakanaction with a melody that evokes the atmosphere of the 1980s and a striking music video.

Although 2019, the year it was released, was nearly 40 years after that era, it still somehow feels fresh and stylishly modern—an intriguing song.

For those who lived through the ’80s, it may feel very nostalgic.

What draws us to this track is, I think, its extraordinarily faithful recreation of the vibe and worldview of the time—far beyond mere parody.

The song is, of course, enjoyable on its own, but I highly recommend watching the music video along with it!

This song was released in 2018, just before Official HIGE DANDism’s popularity exploded.

Of course, they were already very popular at the time, but compared to their breakout hit “Pretender,” this one has a distinctly different vibe! In particular, the catchy, fast-paced piano intro and the groovy beat in the first verse make you want to move your body just by listening.

As you go further into the track, there’s also a striking section that makes extensive use of Auto-Tune, so it’s a song you can listen to over and over without getting bored—highly recommended.

A song gently resonating with the fragility and preciousness of life has been delivered by Fujii Kaze.

Like the life of a flower, it sings—carried by warm vocals and piano-woven melodies—of the belief that a human life, too, holds its own brilliance.

Released in October 2023 as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “The Flower I Love Most,” the piece pairs stylish sound with a delicate portrayal of how, even amid life’s doubts and struggles, we continue to seek inner beauty.

The music video, filmed in the Australian desert, symbolically expresses themes of life and death, and rebirth, leaving a lingering resonance in the viewer’s heart.

It’s a song I highly recommend for those who wish to look into the essence of things or quietly face themselves.

A masterpiece depicting the heart of someone striving to find light within deep darkness has arrived from iri.

Set to a luscious melody steeped in R&B and soul, it tenderly envelops the emptiness and loneliness of everyday life while powerfully singing of the will to move toward the light.

Included on the album “Private,” this track has continued to soothe countless listeners since its release in March 2023.

It’s a warm song that keeps you company on late-night drives or in moments when you want to cherish time alone.

iri’s gentle yet resolute voice is sure to resonate deeply in the hearts of those who listen.
