Refreshing songs: J-POP that lifts your mood (91–100)
MAJICdawgss
If you’re looking for calm, stylish Japanese music, I recommend “MAJIC.” It’s a track by the unit dawgss, composed of bassist-vocalist Sota Morimitsu and drummer Shunsuke Uehara, included on their first album INORI, which was released on CD exclusively at Tower Records in 2023.
You’ll be enchanted by the laid-back band ensemble.
The soothing atmosphere, which even has a touch of healing, feels comfortable, and the lyrics—gently layered over the music—are encouraging.
emptymiwa
Singer-songwriter miwa has gained popularity for her clear, cute vocals and refreshingly vibrant songs.
Her track “Karappo,” chosen as the theme song for the travel show ‘Burari Tochuu Gesha no Tabi,’ is memorable for its chorus that swells with an uplifting sense of openness.
The lyrics, which evoke a fresh new beginning, seem to give you a gentle push forward alongside the breezy ensemble.
With both a sense of speed and lightness that amplifies anticipation for an unseen future, it’s a feel-good pop tune wrapped in a positive atmosphere.

It was released digitally in January 2025, and the music video is also generating buzz.
Non’s look as a member of a student band is seriously cool! It’s the perfect track to kick off spring and give you a push.
Highly recommended for anyone about to start a new chapter in life.

This pop tune carries a positive message, and the members’ bright vocals leave a strong impression.
The lyrics sing about freeing yourself from everyday pressures and the importance of relaxing and living with a positive mindset.
So it’s highly recommended when you’re feeling down or need a change of pace—you’re sure to feel energized.
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
Tamio Okuda brings us the perfect song for a season when a refreshing breeze flows gently by.
Set to a lively rhythm and expansive melody, this piece captures the feeling of racing down a free, unrestricted road, brimming with liberation and positivity.
Released in June 1996, it reached No.

It was also used in a Nissan commercial and as a TV program theme, winning fans across generations.

Stars overtaking meToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
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!
