It’s a cheering anthem by WANIMA that brilliantly depicts the drive to move toward the future and the real, everyday struggles we face.

One of the most talked-about songs in the music world of 2020, this track served as the debut and signature song of the musical duo YOASOBI.

Pixels of EmotionOkazaki Taiiku

Okazaki Taiiku “Pixel of Emotions” Music Video

Singer-songwriter Taiiku Okazaki, whose quirky persona has also made him a hit on variety shows, even appeared as an actor in NHK’s morning drama series Manpuku.

His track Emotions Pixel, used as the opening theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, is included on his second album, XXL.

The contrast between the comedic lyrics and the cool rock ensemble is sure to amp up the audience’s excitement at a school festival.

However, because the performance demands are quite high, it’s a rock tune that requires solid practice to make it sound entertaining.
