Miyuhan is a multitalented artist who not only sings but also works as a voice actress and designs her own merchandise.

“Koibito Shikkaku” (Disqualified as a Lover) is a song provided by Koresawa as an answer to Koresawa’s own track “Tabako” (Cigarette).

Told from a male perspective, it’s a heartbreak song that poignantly recounts the casual moments from when the couple was close and the feelings that led to their breakup.

It would be fun to compare it with Koresawa’s “Tabako” and see how they resonate with each other.

Fashion OperationNekura Tōkī

This is a song called “Oshare Daisakusen” released in 2018 by the rock band Necry Talkie, whose popularity is rapidly rising.

Despite its pop sound and an adorably high-pitched vocal, the song dishes out a surprising amount of bite.

That contrast is sure to get you hooked! It’s a high-energy track that will definitely hype up the crowd at karaoke.

“That’s Why I Gave Up on Music,” which is also the title of Yorushika’s first album.

It’s a bit surprising as a debut album title, isn’t it? The album forms a single narrative—a concept album that tells the story of a young man who ends up quitting music—hence the title.

It’s an important track that brings the story to a close.

Hump Back is gaining popularity as a three-piece girls’ rock band.

While many all-girl rock bands market themselves on cuteness, they stick to a straight-laced style, distinguished by a coolness that sets them apart.

Their song “Dear, Young Boy” carries a passionate message from these cool, uncompromising artists.

[Revolutionary Girl Utena] Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku ~Absolutely Fate Apocalypse~ / sung in chorus by RE:BIRTH
Absolute Destiny ApocalypseJ.A shīzā

Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, the insert song from the 1997 anime Revolutionary Girl Utena, makes a striking impact right from the start that seizes your ears.

When you hear it as a child, it has a kind of scariness that can be a bit traumatizing.

And yet, for some reason, you can’t help but be drawn in.

It’s a song I’d love for you to read the lyrics to and think about their meaning as you listen.

It’s also a bit like a tongue twister at times (lol).
