Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, the ska band affectionately known as “Skapara.” They’ve produced numerous hits, including Beautiful Burning Forest featuring guest vocalist Tamio Okuda.
While catchy phrases like in that song are a hallmark of their sound, Oikoshiteku Hoshi is another track that shines with a similarly poppy vibe.
Written as the theme song for Kyoto Racecourse, which reopened in April 2023, this piece brims with an exhilarating sense of speed that perfectly matches the image of horse racing!
BlissfulBE:FIRST
With its fresh, hope-filled vibe, this track feels like it could blow away the summer heat.
The uptempo rhythm and light, catchy melody are delightful, and you can feel the positive energy radiating from the seven members of BE:FIRST.
Released as a pre-streamed single from the August 2024 album “2:BE,” it also drew attention as a tie-in song for Docomo’s ahamo service.
The lyrics liken life to a playground, celebrating the joy of having fun while valuing friendship and bonds.
The music video, shot in New York, is a must-see.
It’s a song I’d especially recommend to anyone about to take a new step forward.

Look into my eyes now.Base Ball Bear
Speaking of Base Ball Bear, they’re a band known for their refreshing vibe! This track, too—the crisp, choppy guitar riff from the intro feels so good, right? And Yusuke Shoji’s cool vocals are incredibly fresh, aren’t they? Including the supporting chorus lines, I think it all comes together in an ultra-refreshing finish.
They have other tracks that are just as clean and revitalizing, so definitely give them a listen.

TOKYOYUI
One of YUI’s signature songs where the anxieties and hopes of youth intertwine.
Released in February 2006, this track was issued as the lead single from the album FROM ME TO YOU.
The lyrics, inspired by her experience moving to Tokyo at age 17, vividly depict the courage and confusion of stepping into a new environment.
The warm tones of the acoustic guitar and YUI’s clear, transparent vocals gently resonate with listeners.
